QB starter per Lombardi

[CRA]

I get the man crush on Cam. I am excited about him too. But I don't see how it's so easy to dismiss using useless practices with a QB who knows the system to give the rest of the team more time to get a handle on it. There is a reason he was brought in and logic says he is to warm the team up for Cam to take the reigns.

Anyone who looks at this preseason for the Panthers as a clue to who the staff has fingered as QB1 is not looking at this very intelligently.

I disagree, I think preseason will be a huge factor in who the #1 QB week 1. I think ideally Rivera wants Cam to be that guy week 1.....if he ain't ready either DA or Clausen will start the year off based on preseason/practice.

I think DA is a saftey net......not a plan for the start of the year.

Signing DA was a nightmare. We will not win 1 game he starts, I would bet against us in vegas

All the hate being thrown at Anderson makes me hope he goes out there and lights it up.

Oh hell no. Not starter for the year. This is about starter in preseason. the thinking is that since he know the offense the best he can get everyone up to speed fastest. And since it's preseason, bad passes can be overlooked as long as everyone else has their assignments down. This creates a much less nightmarish situation for Cam to inherit.

At this point it might be relevant to see who starts the first preseason game. As for the regular season, it is way too premature for that.

Not to be schedule nerd, but the Giants game is next Saturday, 8/13. I've seen several threads mentioning the 12th as the first game.

That is all

Its soooooo soooonnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!

No kidding.

Signing Derek Anderson was a nightmare? I'm sorry the ordeal was so difficult for some of you.

Agreed. there was a time when I wanted him to be a Panther so bad. Now he is. A pro bowler who is still young and is the only QB on the roster who knows the offense.

Some posters on here are ridiculous.

Clausen will almost certainly start.

DA hasn't even practiced yet. There is more to team chemistry then knowing the coaches playbook.

Putting Cam in to start puts ALL the pressure on him. That would be in sane. You bring him in against a second string defense and build his confidence. I would be shocked if this didn't happen.

Clausen will get a chance to show what he can do. Chud will want to see what he is really dealing with here.

[carolinarolls]

let me clarify

again

this is for the first preseason game. I got corrected on the date of the game so I am sure somebody else understood that. This is not for the season opener.

WTF does team chemistry have to do with Pre-Season?

Hate to sound like Mark Packer here but Pre-Season means nothing and is practice.

In all honesty this is a silly reason to have such desires.

It's not what is best for the future of the organization. Clausen or Cam would be best in that spot

[blackcatgrowl]

Very un-exciting... I'll rather see JC before DA.

:svengo:

Why? So we can start 0-1 for the preseason?

DA knows the playbook and has been around the block....I could see him starting just as easily as Clausen. DA knows more......and any QB walking in off the street could have more chemistry with Smitty than Jimmy.

I think Cam gets his first preseason start game 3 pending his first 2 go as planned.
