Jimmy Clausen era begins?

moore is proving that he can't cut it as the starter, on clausen's drive he threw to the rb's out of the backfield a play that's been there all day long the last two weeks. it might not get you big plays all the time but i will take the 7 to 8 yds that goodson seems to get every time he touches the ball instead of forcing it to smith all the time. as far as starting clausen to early, if he's not tough enough to handle the pressure now, THEN HE IS NOT THE FRANCHISE QB THAT MANY THINK HE IS

kungfoodude back to troll.

Maybe that's true but he is making VALID points! Maybe that is why you had nothing else to say?

Our season is most likely over but at least we can have some hope in winning a game with Clausen. Matt Moore has been continuously exposed for what he is... A high school QB that found luck to get on an NFL field. You wont hear anything about him after this season

Fox might have realized he rushed Moore along after the concussion and decided he needed to sit. Or since Fox never really liked Moore that much, he was on a short leash and has decided to start Clausen from here on out. Who knows. All i know is that I didnt see any difference between the two.

Clausen threw a pick trying to get it to Goodson seven yards away. To hail him as clearly better than Moore at this point is absurd. Right now, they both look like garbage.

The difference to me is that Moore never at any point during this season or the preseason has looked comfortable as the starter. He honestly looks like he doesn't want to be out there. At least Clausen looks comfortable back there.

I mean, it's hard to expect the world of him....he is a rookie QB. And it doesn't look like he has the running game to lean on or Steve Smith to throw to. I just think we need to give him and chance because any hope of this being a successful season is fading quickly.

Isn't this season starting to pretty much look like a worst case scenario, however? I say just keep Clausen in and let him get some burn. Nothing Matt Moore does even resembles a successful starting QB. Rebuilding is here, let's just accept it and move on.

I hope and pray Steve Smith gets traded so he can experience actually having a decent QB throw to him in his career.

Yeah lets turn the kid into the David Carr.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
