Funny how the only people that thinks Cam had the better outing have avatars of him. Man-lust is blinding them.

Jimmy had ONE legit incompletion last night, that's the one he threw away when nobody was open. Fiametta didn't catch his pass, while high, he got his hands on it. LaFell went out of bounds and even though he caught the ball, it didn't count. That's it folks, every other pass was caught. Jimmy also threw 3 passes 20 yards or beyond. That's in reference to he only threw dump offs all night.

Cam didn't play bad, actually pretty well, but huggers aren't going to admit pickles outplayed THEIR guy. Sad actually.

You don't outplay a guy when you throw a pick 6. I'm sorry your expectations for Quarterbacking are so low.

:(

So you think one bad play is a body of work? Cool, I'll remember that when Cam blows up for 3 TDs and 300 yards but happens to throw a pick 6 and say 'ah he sucks, after all he did throw a pick 6.'

however, Newton didnt throw a TD which is why i say he didnt outplay Clausen, it was a draw (for now). Anyways, i think they start Newton vs. Miami, see how he does with the starters.

Yeah, Lafell was to busy dropping them. :cam:

But I can agree with that.

i honestly dont think Clausen outplayed Newton, but Newton didnt outplay Clausen either in my book, i gave it a draw for now. Each had good moments and bad moments.

Heck, I'm not even saying Jimmy played awesome or that Cam did badly, however after watching the game for like the 3rd time now, Clausen was the more solid QB. He had the one mistake, that's really it.

he also dropped one of Clausen's and gave them a penalty when Clausen QBed, honestly though, like i said, it was a draw. Newton didnt throw an INT, but he didnt throw a TD and Clausen threw a pick 6, but threw a TD and rebounded. it was a draw and now it's Newton's chance with the starters to see how he does, then after that i dont know.

You should take another swing at that.

Lol, I never thought I would see a Clausen v. Cam debate.

He has improved, but some people need to watch some elite QBs and then watch Jimmy and Cam again... Then let me know which one looked better and who has more promise going forward from what they did last night... smh...

No a pick 6 isn't his entire body of work from last night, but it can't be ignored. Part of being a starting QB is minimizing mistakes, especially ones that lead to turnovers and/or points. Jimmy is still failing in that aspect.

If I'm not mistaken, he has as many pick sixes in his career as TDs now. That can't happen. Also, the floater to Fiammetta in the flat could've had him killed. None of Cam's throws did that. So if that's your version of an NFL starting QB, all I can say is WOW.

Cam throws low right? Nope high, therefore he could get someone killed too? So we are talking about hypotheticals now?

Only high throw I remember from last night was to Armanti after he got behind the coverage... Missed a TD by about 6 inches.

Another thing to do with hanging our receivers out to dry is ball velocity.

Ask Smitty why he has a problem with Clausen. If Cam misses it usually isn't on an injured duck.

In all of Jimmy's time in the NFL including preseason play.....has he ever moved the ball as easy as Cam lead the offense in his very first NFL drive? granted it didn't result in a TD but Cam looked very solid behind the starting OL.

That is 2 weeks of work going into that. kid could legit sooner than most give him credit for......I also think Cam's play with the 1s should be distinguished from the 2s.

      I think taking T-Mac changes how to look at XL and the season he had, especially in retrospect. If you look at his rookie season from the viewpoint of "we traded into the 1st round to take him as our #1 WR of the future" then yea, he had a god awful rookie season and I'd be scared about his future.  But we've now drafted T-Mac, it allows us to now go back and look at XL's rookie season in a totally different light. XL was a late bloomer, essentially having only one college season of experience, he was always going to be VERY raw last year.  If we knew at the time that one year later, we'd have a true #1 and XL "only needs to be a future #2 and potentially doing it from a power slot position" then I'm not so sure he had all that bad of a rookie season. Because he still had 49 catches for 500 yards and 4 TDs, which really is a pretty darn good rookie season for a player as raw as XL was/is, especially when you consider the QB struggles we had last year, and even once Bryce turned things around a bit, we were still a run based team and Bryce's stats were anything but mind-blowing.   Personally, I think it's one of those situations where people are too focused on the negatives with XL and not seeing all the positives and potential he has given how raw he still is.  Which is where viewing him as a future #2 vs #1 makes all the difference in the world in looking back on his rookie season and projecting his future role/ability. If he's worked on his craft and cuts back on his drops, it's very reasonable to think he could be a 70 catch, 800 yards, and 5 TD type of player for us in year 3 when he's the #2 after Thielen is gone. How many teams have that type of talent as their #2 WR behind a guy putting up 1,200+ and 10 on a yearly basis as their #1 as I fully expect T-Mac to be doing? Then if Coker also improves slightly and is kicking in 600-700 yards himself, then you've built yourself a Top 5 WR room.

      Mel Kiper's long illustrious history would also indicate that neither does Mel Kiper. It's almost like this poo isn't an exact science or something and that there's a lot of different variables that go into whether or not a guy is successful. It's just that according to Mel Kiper, everyone else is an idiot and he's perfect. LOL

      Pats traded randy moss to aquire Ryan Mallett.  Insane. Guess Mel Kiper was right. NFL doesn't know how to evaluate quarterbacks
