Thursday Night Preseason Games

I remember Cam scoring a rushing TD on the Bengals in his first preseason game, he was making guys look JV on his first drive. 

Yeah, I remember that run too.  Pretty epic run and I think was the play that allowed Ron to name him the starter.  It was the 3rd game.  

Cam spent most that preseason looking not ready to be a NFL passer.  Ron was looking for anything to give Cam the job.

bro if people are going to trash my QB because he's the same height as them IRL, I'm going to trash the dude that a lot of people wanted over him for staring down his receiver and throwing an awful pick on his first throw.

quote me about his receivers tho.

Bryce and CJ are actually really good friends. Awareness helps.

[TheWiz]

I'm aware that folks are here to talk about CJ and Will. But I'm here to reaffirm my undying love for HATING everything that has to do with the New England Patriots. Even their commentators. They're lucky they dont have to see us this year. 

[96Bravo]

I'll bet Stroud will be back out later. Either way, looks like same old Texans for now. O-line did look like he'll at the start, though.

The funny thing is the Pats are probably the worst team in their division. At least they have the worst roster…

[LinvilleGorge]

The Texans still look like the Texans. Gonna be interesting to see what they do if they're drafting in the top 5 again.

Looks like he does not have good support.  Not what a rookie needs.

Houston was probably the worst situation for a QB to be drafted in.

Horrible team, poor OL, not much in the way of weapons, defensive HC and a nobody OC.

Didn’t they lose that pick when trading back up for Will Anderson or was that they Browns first they traded?

[CRA]

Just for perspective and this game is already boring. 

Cam comp % in preseason as a rookie 

Game 1 - 42%
Game 2 - 50%
Game 3 - 31%
Game 4-  60% for 25 yards and his first pass TD

and obviously then went on to break almost every passing record for a rookie 

[CPF4LIFE]

I love how everything else is "concerning" untill its something to do with this team. Very funny.

They will pick a defensive player and continue to suck. Poor CJ is on his own trying to develop as a pro qb and be their entire offense.  Kinda like Cam had to do but he's less talented as Cam was.

The line was giving him no time prior to that pick, hope his nerves settle

 

 

How is this not the OL he's going to have in regular season? Did they start 2nd stringers?

[d-dave]

I saw a couple of shots on twitter, and in one he starred the guy down, in the other he was super later to a hole in the zone.  

The big knock on him was being able to process the information on the field.  Did he throw with any touch, timing or anticipation?  CJ has the tools to be a great QB, and I was all for him before we traded up to 1.  I don't want to see him fail (if for no other reason to be a successful OSU QB just so people stop making that argument).  He also seems like a nice kid (like most rookies) so you root for them.

Houston should not have him start if he's not ready.  You'll ruin him.  Look, let Davis Mills start until things slow down for CJ.  In those two shots, he looked like a deer in the headlights.

Tank Dell is nice
