Should Clausen start?


Lumps

Recommended Posts

ideally, he sits on the bench for 2 years while Matt Moore builds his value. Clausen comes in after proving he's going to be a really solid QB in the future and we get draft picks from Matt Moore...

what I would rather NOT see is Clausen have to come right in and start...

will it happen? well, for the betterment of his development, let's hope not. So now you know the scale to which he starts...

so let's hope: Matt Moore is a solid QB, Clausen sits the bench and learns the game, when he's ready- we can only hope Moore has a lot of trade value and Clausen is THAT GUY....(who's ready to be a great QB)

anything other than this is baseless speculation until we see results from Moore and Clausen.. One thing I'm hesitant on is how much I want to put into preseason results...

So what your saying is even if he looks better in camp, Moore should start anyways?

Or that him looking better= no other choice, so he should start?

Looking good in camp is worlds away from starting an actual pro game.

More than one rookie has been ruined by starting too early (including our own Kerry Collins).

No way I want us going that route.

In a word...no.

Rookie QBs should never start unless you have no other choice.

can't ask for a better situation for a rookie QB to come in and succeed, though. solid run game that carries the ball 500+ times, good go-to guy at WR, incredible o-line. i don't think he should start but i won't be stressing if he does. it's a pretty safe scenario.

kid needs to grow up a little before he's handed the keys but i don't think he'll wreck if they do hand the keys to him.

    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.
