Keep this in mind about Sunday

[CRA]

Mainly when it comes to Cam.

Cam is being asked to do as a rookie QB something that simply has never occured before in the NFL in terms of rookie draft picks starting week 1.

New scheme for his entire O, rookie QB, and the entire team missed OTA's to work on the offense. If Cam doesn't suck pretty badly.....that will be a good thing. You are not going to see the Pitt preseason Cam all game.....maybe a drive or two but there will be a lot of Cincy Cam....and that will be normal and okay.

Yep, made my peace wit it a long time ago.

thanks

If we manage over 17 points with him, I will be a happy dude

He doesn't have to necessarily put up any particular stats but if he can lead us to a point total that can win games with a solid D, that'll do. I just wanna see him play regardless; Cam's fun to watch.

[CRA]

thanks

hey, if I can eliminate 2 of the 5700 "Oh my gawd Cam is horrible and he set Carolina back 3 decades" threads that will follow simply what realistically should occur this Sunday.......it would be worth it.

9/26, 123 yards, TD, 2 INT's + 6 carries, 73 yards, TD

Yup, based on the limited amount of preparation time he's had thus far compared to previous rookie QB's, if he doesn't totally suck that should be considered a success.

plus, in addition to the entire offensive still trying to learn a new scheme......Cam will see stuff all Sunday from the opposing D he has yet to see at the NFL level.

If I had to guess:

11/23; 175 yards; 1 td, 1 int

4 carries; 35 rushing yards

Good prediction. I like this.

OP, you're right. But the sad part about it is that half this board needs daily reminders like that.

[rayzor]

it's also an away game.

btw...doesn't mean that we like losing. we just accept that it's probably going to happen in these circumstances.

[CRA]

I mean given Cam's circumstances.....if Carolina did win and Cam was decent.....it would be one of the greatest rookie debuts in the history of #1 overall QBs. So beating on Cam and Carolina going in there and walking out with a win......really is saying a lot.

[TheRealDeal]

Greatest debuts in history?

Beating the Cardinals?

So if he plays bad, it's still a success because he doesn't look totally retarded and if we beat a team that is a notch above us but still pretty terrible, it's the greatest rookie #1 pick debut ever?

I guess Cam can really do no wrong.
