Let's see how Cam's first start weighs against other first overall QB picks.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Russell actually threw 2 picks and had a fumble his first game.

As was said, the best game of Russell's career.

Also,we won't dare compare Cam to Peyton. That honor is reserved for more worthy QBs like Andrew Luck...Sheesh

You know, that is a good point. Had Luck come out and had the same kind of day, would people be wondering if it was a fluke? Would they wonder if he was going to go all Hollywood in the near future?

It is very interesting to observe how analysts' preconceived ideas influence their evaluation of a player's performance.

I went with first start, since they'll have a week of preparation leading up to the game as the intended starter.

Yes, and he was picked like 100 in the draft which meant he went to an already good team.

More like 200 something.

You do realize the team with the #1 pick, the worst team in the league, also has picks in the 100. Saying he was picked 100 means he went to a good team is retarded and completely false. Da'Norris Searcy was picked 100 by the Bills the last draft. Guess that means he went to a good team huh.
