But for the scope of this week's trip to Arizona, the attention is on Walker. While he beat the Lions last year, he also threw two interceptions in the end zone that game. He also threw three picks in a relief appearance in the finale against the Saints, and they've talked to him all offseason about making better decisions with the ball.
Still, they all expressed confidence in him to add some of that sizzle to an offense that has scored one touchdown in the last three games, and McCaffrey said they believed he could do that for reasons beyond his previous start against the Lions.
"He's so much more than just that game," McCaffrey said. "I see him every day in practice; I see how he works, just talking to him about what he sees and how he sees it. Just like any position, when you have someone new come in, you want to get comfortable with him. But he's got great poise, knows the plays really well obviously, and he's a great leader."
Walker said he believes he's much more prepared than he was a year ago at this time, saying the biggest difference was "understanding the system, knowing where guys are going to be at."
Beyond that, he wants to enjoy himself and play freely, while staying within the confines of the offense and not being careless with the ball.
"Just doing my job, not doing too much," he said of his focus this week. "As a quarterback, when you feel like you can make a lot of plays, you tend to do a lot more than you need to or are asked to do, and things start to go bad. So take what's there, play the game smart, and go out and lead the guys and have fun and play great football."
