Pike > Clausen

[Dpantherman]

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..

all of that stuff is garbage when they get on the field. let the preseason get here, then we can have this discussion

[RazzleDazzle]

I never liked Clausen in College, I like him now since he is a Panther but he choked a lot.

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.

Hey now I spent 5 minutes on those

[PanthaSan]

I like Clausen just because he is from my home county. Although he did rip my old High School to shreds every time they played.

I figure that's scientific enough for this time of year...

[eViL jEsTeR]

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

but that's just it. they weren't behind the same line or played with the same offensive styles. therefore, clausen, even if equally talented as pike (which i belive he's more talented) is far better prepared and ready to play in the NFL.

Clausen could easily start for this team and achieve some level of success similar to other starting rookies of recent years. Pike, is not ready to start and we'd be in trouble if we needed him to start week 1.

if moore goes down in preseason, we'd likely be ok. if moore and clausen go down in preseason, cantwell will most likely get the start. if pike isn't as ready as cantwell to start week 1, then there is no way he's currently better than clausen.

not really. his defense choked alot. guy had several fourth quarter comebacks that were ALL him.

[Miaoww]

Yeah Clausen was that ND team.

His O-line was garbage. His receivers couldn't stay healthy. His defence was pathetic.

[Jangler]

Moore> Clausen> Pike> Wienke

i luv this board...ahahaha

Pike who?

[coxc63]

well... to be honest with you. if i base my opinion on what i have seen footage of, I think that claussen is probably the best QB on the team. everytime i see a video of that kid, it impresses the poo out of me.

but rookies have an uphill battle to prove that they are the best, especially when the guy you are trying to replace just went 5-1 and threw 8 TDs to 1 INT.

Some can argue that it was claussen's receivers that made him look good, a lot of his highlights came from short passes that the receiver turned into a highlight play after the catch, that's why tate was rated so high, his ability to get th yac

It sounds like he would do well with Smith, then.

I respect the OP's position. Time will tell, but I think Pike has good potential

[top dawg]

LOL. Probably a little harsh, but I'm just having fun, OP.
