in b4 tldr.

I said some of this in the "Cam starting" thread but it got buried underneath huggers jerking off on each other and haters crying so it's getting its own thread.

What is the Significance of Rivera Naming Cam the Starter?

In short: nothing. Zod would have you believe that this is a sneaky way of giving Cam the reins since they could simply start Jimmy and let Cam play in the second quarter like they did last week. However, Zod looks like Zach Braff and you don't trust someone who looks like Zach Braff.

Our QB competition works in a similar fashion to the way that overtime in college football does. Both teams get a possession. But whoever gets the first possession has the most pressure on them. Cam had little pressure to perform extremely well last week because Jimmy didn't perform all that well. Meanwhile, Jimmy had TONS of pressure on him because he was playing first. If he doesn't set the bar extremely high, there's a chance Cam outperforms him and gets that much closer to taking his job. To be fair, Rivera has to alternate starters and put some pressure on Cam to perform for a change.

How can I get a sense of which QB has the inside track on the starting job?

Well, right now it's Cam. But make no mistake, Jimmy has a legitimate chance to start on opening day. If he outperforms Cam on Friday, Rivera won't hesitate to name him the starter. As much as he would like to get Cam in there ASAP, he wants to win a hell of a lot more.

On the same hand, he's not going to look at the stat line and say, "Welp Jimmy's QB rating was 84 and Cam's was 82. Looks like Jimmy gets the start!" Jimmy is, essentially, going to have to blow him out of the water to keep his job.

Why is that? Jimmy is a BEAST!!!

Well GritsrGreat, this may come as a shock, but, looking at the big picture, Cam has a lot more going for him than Jimmy does. (Also just fyi I know he plays and looks like a 14 y/o girl, but he isn't so you might want to go ahead and get on the Camwagon now.) For more clarification on this, let's go through and list the positives for both QBs.

Cam:

• Stronger Arm (Better deep ball)
  
• Mobile (also gonna put better pocket presence here)
  
• More investment than Jimmy (You don't draft a guy #1 overall a year after using your first pick on another top-rated QB if you HONESTLY believe that other guy can be your future.)
  
• Will put asses in the seats. (While it is very true that our front office isn't going to cater to their fans' wants, if you have a guy at the most visible position in football who is way more popular than anyone else on your roster, the promise of splurging ticket sells can sometimes sway your opinion. Football, like any sport, is ultimately about making money.)
  
• Steve Smith likes him. (I'm not sure exactly how much Steve likes him, but he hasn't told the media that "This isn't Auburn" yet, so he's got that over Jimmy at least. And yes, which QB your only all-pro, only veteran receiver prefers is going to be fairly important. Especially when Smitty's morale seems to have a direct effect on the team's morale as a whole.)
  

Jimmy:

• Better footwork; better mechanics overall
  
• Has a year of NFL experience under his belt and did it in one of the worst situations to play in imaginable. (Say what you want to about him being a whimp or a puss, but the fact that Jimmy isn't playing golf instead of football right now after going through Fox's "DON'T CARE LOL" season says A LOT about his mental fortitude.)
  

That's pretty much it. Jimmy has been the starter because he's the incumbent, and no one was just going to hand it to Cam, even though I'm pretty sure that everyone on the coaching staff wants him to play ASAP. If Jimmy plays EXTREMELY well Friday night, and Cam doesn't match his performance, or at least be in the ball park, Jimmy Clausen will be your starter against Arizona Week 1.

So instead of blowing each other and celebrating the Cam Era, you should be praying Cam plays well, or we'll be reverting back to the Pickles Dynasty. And who the fug wants that, really?
