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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
