I have read just about every article and quote from Clausen since we drafted him and it's become clear that he loves using the phrase "At The End Of The Day". No wonder Fox loves this kid so much, now they can sit in the meeting rooms and talk about how at the end of the day it is what it is.

"They gave me a bunch of different choices," he said. "But at the end of the day, I saw Matt Ryan - a rookie quarterback a few years ago - wear number 2 and I kind of liked it."

"It's pretty much the same playbook, but at the end of the day there is a lot of new stuff, too."

"All of those attributes carry (over), but at the end of the day you've got to get to know your teammates first and foremost."

:puke:

If cliches bother you that much, you should not be a sports fan.

Of course. Because sports fandom and cliches have always been joined at the hip and are one in the same.

If you can't take cliches, sports aren't for you......:rolleyes:

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
