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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.

      This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like.

      If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
