Get ready to see Anderson start

Ok we lose this game, then later in the season we are fighting for a playoff spot and end up not getting in because we decided not to play Cam today, we'll see how many still think sitting Cam was a good idea.

Next week is the Lions. Sit him then. For division games, if you can walk, you play.

I do not have a problem with DA starting so Cam can get start getting more reps in next week. He barely practiced this week which hurts in itself. What I do not like is the idea that if DA starts, that Bersin is inactive cause those two have good chemistry.

[KillerKat]

And I agree. But this is week 1. Not week 17 with playoffs on the line. Lets just win today regardless.

Playoffs are on the line every week. Especially for division games.

True, but would you want to risk our franchise qbs long term health? Say he did start and get a season ending injury. What then? yeah hinesight is 20/20 and you can look back and say, "welp cam shouldn't have played".

[PantherWake]

I hope this means Cam will play next week and we don't have to go through this again

Say this is week 17 and we need this division win to get in the playoffs. Do you start him? Your choice then should be your choice now. You would run the risk of putting him on IR right before the playoffs then too. These games determine the brackets.

I don't like not playing your starting QB against a divisional opponent. I understand the reasons why here...but we don't have the luxury, in this division, to concede a loss. I like DA, but I don't see him leading us to a win today. If we win, it'll be because our gameplan was to play lights out defense and run the football hard.

If we rely on DA to win this for us, we're fuged. C'mon OL and RBs. You gotta carry this offense. DA can make the throws and run the play-action, but I don't like the thought of him throwing 28 times today.

Cam will play if he is healthy enough to play. DA will start if not. It is as plain and simple as that.

[Proudiddy]

The brightside is, DA could start for half the teams in the league. He is the best backup out there... that's comforting.

The downside is, HE IS NOT CAM. Our offense becomes extremely limited and less dynamic obviously, without Cam. What scares me is how dysfunctional our offense was last year, so many time Cam bailed us out from horrible playcalls and a poor supporting cast. Cam essentially has been the entire offense.

I'm hoping some of the chemistry we saw from DA with KB in the preseason carries over today, Stew continues to look incredible running the rock, AND Cam heals quickly.

No your choice then and now are way different. If you start him now your talking about adding 16 other games plus more if we make the playoffs. If this was week 17, he'd only have to fight for one game at the very least.

This is a valiant effort to cover for the team but Ron has made very clear he isnt making this decision with today in mind.
