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.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
