*long winded version of saying he was wrong without saying he was wrong*

I have said from the beginning that I just want to see flashes this year that give me something to believe in for the future. Something that Clausen didn't do once last year. He has already exceeded that.

I don't expect him to be Dan Marino his rookie year. If he goes 8-24 with 3 picks next week it won't hamper my excitement. After all, he is still a rookie. But in one game he answered a lot of questions for a "project who isn't ready" (not saying you said that but others have)

Oh, and Narwocki sucks monkey balls. I kid I kid (not really). :D

See above.

Week one was great, but it is still just week one. I fully expect him to struggle, and looking at who's coming to town, it could start as early as next week. Again though, you can't pull him. Gotta sink or swim.

Still haven't seen him take a really big hit yet (some tackles today, but no major shots). I'll feel a lot better if we can get that out of the way.

Since this poor Cardinals defense and rookie CB are the excuse for how well Cam played, I'll be expecting most QBs to throw for way more than 422 yards against them.

Right?

Do you seriously expect anything close to a 400 yard performance against the Packers defense?

I'm thrilled with the start, but let's not get carried away with the expectations.

i was wrong

i was fully 100% on the don't draft him bandwagon. i wanted Dareus or Peterson(who will both be studs) and hated the idea of taking Cam. there is a reason i'm not a GM. couldn't be more excited about the future of the team on offense but still think we're gonna come away with 4-6 wins this season.

today was a good day.

Of course not, I'm not talking about the Packers.

It's not a statement about specifically you, but I've seen a lot of Cam naysayers using the "The Cardinals defense is crappy" excuse as to why Cam did well.

If that's the reason he did well, then every other QB should do well against them too, right? I'll be expecting 422 yards from every QB. Maybe some 500 and 600 yarders from the elite quarterbacks.

Realistically, the Cardinals defense probably is crappy.

That doesn't take away from the things Newton did right though.

McDermott makes me miss our Tampa-2 and Cover-2 under Fox. But it's early, so we'll see how things progress.

I can think of some mods and members with massive swag who were a lot harder on Cam than Saltman.

McDermott makes me with we had the same talent that was on those teams...
