Patrick Peterson Will Start For Cardinals

For most of training camp, a debate among the Cards’ depth chart was whether rookie and No. 1 pick Patrick Peterson would start the opening game. He was behind Greg Toler and A.J. Jefferson, and, all things staying the same, I think Peterson would have come off the bench in the beginning.

But obviously all things didn’t stay the same. Toler got injured and is out for the season. So Peterson has now been elevated — above veteran Richard Marshall — to the starting lineup.

Found this to be relevent in this forum given the opener. I was pretty vocal about wanting PP7 (now PP21, um nope doesn't sound right) back at the draft, but Cam has since won me over. I'd like to see Peterson struggle Sunday, and succeed week 2 on out. Found the bolded part particularly entertaining. Can't imagine why.

#89 > pp21

I don't think Peterson will be on our #1 and I know smitty isn't as fast as he was in 2005, but if the formation dictates it and they do have him covering eightynine at some point, and smitty breaks his ankle with that nasty top of the key pivot thing he does and takes it deep, I might literally cry tears of joy.

he will probably have some growing pains as a rookie corner, hopefully it's against us

guy seems like he has legit super star potential so you never know. can see him burning us for a big punt return at some point in the game.

Hopefully our ST doesn't resemble the one of the last 2-3 years, because it has been awful.

Same as y'alls, I was hoping for Dareus or Peterson...or Green, but I'm behind Cam now. Ironically those other 3 would fill pretty holes on the team now, but that's just the racist in me talking.

Yea.... and David Gerrard under center, but on the flip side, there are just as many good free agent options available for WR, DT, and CB (err maybe not CB as much) as Gerrard is for QB.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
