Lol. If he plays good its a shock but if he plays bad its no biggie?

You guys have set the bar really high huh?

Just realistic.

Even if Cam was going to become the next greatest QB in the NFL......he shouldn't perform well on Sunday. He and Carolina are in a massive whole and how big of one isn't going to show in the preseason vanilla games.

That isn't setting the bar low for him.....

Expecting anything else is just refusing to acknowledge what NFL history and facts of the game have proven.

I hope the coaches tell him not to throw near Peterson, instead throw it near Marshall, cause chances are, he's already beat on the play.

I'd be willing to bet that Smitty could beat Peterson (rookie) all day long... Smitty would just out class him. I'd prefer that matchup over Marshall vs. LaFell.. but where I really think we have the Cardinals beat, is our matchups with our TEs vs their LBs. I think the TEs have a big day.

We have been mediocre for so long our expectations are lower.

We no longer have expectations of a player to do well.

Its always excuses.

I dont expect him to do awesome but the guy needs to show me something week in and week out.

What is a realistic expectation then?

For Cam to be signicantly better in this debut than the overlwhelming majority of what #1 overall QBs have done week 1? Despite he has even more working against him than they did?

Those aren't excuses. We just have an unrealstic fanbase IMO. I also expect him to show me something week 1.....but that is something completely different than a expect a strong overall showing week 1.

Cam should be a night and day different QB week 1 vs. week 16. That was the problem w/ the last rookie we saw.

So if Pryor throws for 200 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs after his suspension, would that be the greatest rookie QB debut ever since he has like 2 weeks of practice?

It would be a damn good debut......

He wasn't drafted #1 overall and that was the point I make. #1 overalls tend to go to teams w/ some pretty big issues outside of just there position.

What do you think are the top 3 greatest debuts week 1 by #1 overall QBs? They have not been good....even the ones who turned out great.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
