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 frankw · Posted

      His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
