Clausen is better than Quinn. But just to ease your nerves, Clausen will most likely go in the Top 15. We couldn't get him anyway.

i wasn't sure, I've seen Clausen, never saw Quinn at ND. I just wonder if hes a system QB. long ball has been in question. but you are right, he wouldnt land to us anyway.

It will definitely be in the back of my head whenever I watch him. Clausen can make all the throws though. Coming out of college, I don't feel like Quinn was as gifted as Clausen is. But I am definitely interested to see how he turns out. Quinn just always seemed like a tool to me...if that counts for anything.

it's not like he grew up in the spread. The Weis system is the exact same we use. So it's not like he has to learn the WCO after playing the run and shoot, or learn the Coryell O after being a read-option/veer/flexbone QB.

Tom Brady is technically a Charlie Weis QB.

good point.

Clausen's the only guy Weis picked. Quinn was picked by someone else. Brady was recruited and picked by someone else.

It's like the difference between Kyle Boller and Aaron Rodgers. Jeff Tedford made Boller look good enough to draft, but he picked Rodgers as his QB and made him into a star. There's definitely a difference between making a senior look good and hand-grooming a guy from start to finish.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
