I am not a Clausen pick fan, BUT...since we got him:

1. When you look at his skills & pedigree, you have to agree he has the potential to be a

top 5-10 QB in the league. He has a gun & is very accurate, plus excellent mechanics.

2. We needed a 'quality' back up & there were none to be had (esp. since Campbell got

traded, later(?) in the draft). Clausen was great to fill that role, IMO.

3. You have to take the value when there is any possible need for the position.

4. Moore has some bit of 'unproven' to him (even tho I strongly support him & didn't feel

the need to get Clausen). A great team always has a backup plan.

* The only thing I don't like about the pick: Clausen has an major ego & I feel he will keep

running his mouth, even if Moore wins the starting job; that can hurt team chemistry.

Just my thoughts, but I like the Clausen pick the more I research him & look at his ND film. I expect Morre to win the starting position & I hope FOx does not play favorites to Clausen to 'prove' something....if he does, it will probably be Fox's last year here. It is not often a rookie QB comes in & lights it up. Not Rothlesberger or anyone else for that matter. There are very few who carried their team as rookies.

The Browns completely mis-managed the whole process. Not only did they jump the gun by giving Anderson a huge contract extension (at the time), despite having a 1st round draft pick behind him on the roster (making two well paid QBs...), but they also never declared a starter. They actually juggled the starting spot well into the season, which prevented the offence from ever having a genuine chance to develop a rhythm.

The fact of who the QBs were and where they came from meant nothing. The facts that they kept the whole organisation in limbo by treating them both as second stringers prevented both from ever having a fair shot.

it makes perfect sense. too many good receivers dropped farther than they were supposed to, thus we didn't have to spend our 2nd round pick to get a good receiver. we got one with our 3rd rounder. therefore, in hindsight, clausen was the right pick in the 2nd. there would've been no point in getting a receiver in the 2nd with the whole pool of quality receivers that dropped to the 3rd.

Alright, I see your real point now; your post left your point open to interpretation.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
