Wasnt much of a real competition Clausen was always going to get the backup spot.IMO

“I wouldn’t know what to tell you right now,” Davidson said of who'll be the team's No. 3 quarterback. “We’re still trying to evaluate that situation and get both of those guys the opportunity to show us what they can do. John (Fox) uses the analogy all of the time that we don’t pick the team, they do. It’s very true in this situation.

“We believe the one and two (spots) have materialized and have yet to see who number three is.”

Cantwell's got it.

No. Cant-do-well is a joke and his career in college and the NFL has proved it. If Tony Pike can get some freakin playing time, he'll show you why. He's extremely accurate and makes good decisions. The first preseason game he played well but only got 1 series, and a WR dropped a big ball on 3rd down.

You knew Davidson was gonna go out and get a Notre Dame backup for his Oregon St. QB after seeing how well it worked in Cleveland. Who care's who's third? :)

Before you know it we're going to be bringing in Delhomme to bail out our QB situation.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
