i know most will disagree with me on this but i actually think Pike is a little better than Clausen. i base this from what i have seen from both of these qb's throughout their college careers and video footage.

discuss..

I don't agree but, time will tell. Just not worth discussing at this time. At least wait until after training camp.

I believe Clausen gets the benefit of the doubt but this is like comparing apples and oranges. Vastly different COLLEGE offensive styles (spread vs pro). I don't think you can make a comparison at this point. Put them behind the same line with the same personell and see what happens

So what team are you a professional scout? Otherwise what credibility do your observations have? At least stats while not perfect are more objective.

Kind of like folks who come here and give their preseason rankings.

Please ignore the voices in your head.......they are BAD.

Pike played in a spread offense and has a TON to learn to try and evolve into an NFL QB. He also has suspect arm strength...something he did not need in Cinn's offensive scheme.

Go back to the mini camp threads. Many who were there said that Pike's passes were not tight...they were wobbbling ducks.

Clausen played in a pro-style offense at a bigger program than Pike did. Clausen was considered to be a potential top-10 pick coming into the draft, and Pike would have been lucky to go in the third round. Clausen was picked in the secound round, Pike was picked in the sixth round. You can have your own opinion, but there's a multitude of scouts including our own that obviously like Clausen better. I'll trust their judgement.

give clausen a better Oline and a better run game and an actual defense and you would have seen him do some even more incredible things and probably would have been the #1 pick overall despite the alleged attitude problems.

pike was in a system that all but guaranteed success for whoever was at QB.

check out his numbers and compare them with the guy that replaced him (a redshirted freshman) when he broke his arm and you will see no drop off...in fact you could say that he did better than pike.

sorry....clausen >>> pike.

I disagree, based on what I have seen the last year from both of these QB's and video footage.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
