Patrick Peterson Will Start For Cardinals

For most of training camp, a debate among the Cards’ depth chart was whether rookie and No. 1 pick Patrick Peterson would start the opening game. He was behind Greg Toler and A.J. Jefferson, and, all things staying the same, I think Peterson would have come off the bench in the beginning.

But obviously all things didn’t stay the same. Toler got injured and is out for the season. So Peterson has now been elevated — above veteran Richard Marshall — to the starting lineup.

Found this to be relevent in this forum given the opener. I was pretty vocal about wanting PP7 (now PP21, um nope doesn't sound right) back at the draft, but Cam has since won me over. I'd like to see Peterson struggle Sunday, and succeed week 2 on out. Found the bolded part particularly entertaining. Can't imagine why.

#89 > pp21

I don't think Peterson will be on our #1 and I know smitty isn't as fast as he was in 2005, but if the formation dictates it and they do have him covering eightynine at some point, and smitty breaks his ankle with that nasty top of the key pivot thing he does and takes it deep, I might literally cry tears of joy.

he will probably have some growing pains as a rookie corner, hopefully it's against us

guy seems like he has legit super star potential so you never know. can see him burning us for a big punt return at some point in the game.

Hopefully our ST doesn't resemble the one of the last 2-3 years, because it has been awful.

Same as y'alls, I was hoping for Dareus or Peterson...or Green, but I'm behind Cam now. Ironically those other 3 would fill pretty holes on the team now, but that's just the racist in me talking.

Yea.... and David Gerrard under center, but on the flip side, there are just as many good free agent options available for WR, DT, and CB (err maybe not CB as much) as Gerrard is for QB.

      If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times).

      Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1.

      You aren't going to ever get him out of the equation. As he has stated previously, he believes it his right to make the final call on decisions.
