ESPN First Take

for those that missed it, at first he went on and on about how The Golden Calf of Bristol was a great pick.. then comes Clausen..

he didn't say a damn word about his experience in a pro style offense, or his accuracy or the fact he can make every throw, the only thing he talked about was his leadership/attitude/etc. went on to say that several teams passed on him in the 2nd round(included Raiders, Bills, Vikes) for a reason, without specifying a reason besides leadership problems.. and then said the reason Carolina picked him was a "he's available, why not?"

the others at the desk all said he was a steal, and that he'll have the best chance to succeed in Carolina because of the o-line/run game/Steve Smith/etc. Skip just had to be different so he said bust.

It makes me happy that Skip thinks Clausen will be a bust.

It makes me happy that we weren't grouped with teams like the Bills and the Raiders who "made the right move and passed on him." I mean really? Questioning a draft pick because the Raiders passed on him?? What a joke...

I hope that he doesn't have the chance to be a bust. I would love for Moore to take this job and own it like a true Pro Bowler.

I think that would be the best case senario for this team. For Clausen to get the job would probably have to mean that Moore blew it, or else got hurt.

Part of the genius about picking 3 QBs this draft is that even if Clausen is a bust Pike might be good and Edwards could be our version of a smart high character Michael Vick. Best of all we didn't pay an arm and leg for them. Really we couldn't have done much better at this point.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
