Anyone watch this?

lol, yea the black dude knows what's up...

Personally I say of course who does better in camp, but it seems if Moore didn't look better than Delhomme last year he wont look better than Clausen, especially when clausen is 'pre-prepared' right?

[bleys]

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...

Clausen will start.

[Kingpatecu]

Only if he wins the job in TC, I expect Matt Moore to beat him out.

In a word...no.

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

I don't think the question is should he start, but will he start.

[top dawg]

IMHO, If we are asking this question in the beginning September, then we'll probably be in a damned good situation.

Basically, this thread is about 4 months too early. You just had to be the first one to go there, didn't you?

Word.

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?

2nd rounders don't start their first year either..he will start if fox is fired next year though..

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.

[SorthNarolina]

we are the best team possible for a rookie QB to go to so starting isn't out of the question.

[SmootsDaddy89]

If he shows he's ready, he should start.

If it's close, give the nod to Moore.

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.
