Does anyone trust Fox/Davidson/Scherer w/ Claussen

I know there's a bunch of folks wanting Clausen to start but do you really trust these guys with him. Yes, Ryan and Flaco are examples of rookies succeeding their first year but they are the exception - not the rule.

No doubt Moore looks a bit overwhelmed right now and Clausen is here to take over. I just don't have enough faith the current coaching staff to believe they can develop him properly. After all, look at what Davidson/Scherer did in Cleavland and what Fox has done without Henning/McCoy. Do you really want that team of coaches "developing" Clausen. Does anyone remember Weinke or Carr? Don't think it couldn't happen again.

no, but the staff will be dismantled next year so let's just hope they don't *** him up too bad.
agreed.

he just needs to have time with those players on the field to develop chemistry for down the road. it will help make any adjustments to the offense easier to handle, imo.

i don't see the new offense being much different than this one, though...at least it's still going to be run focused for the foreseeable future. when you have a new QB starting out you do that. it's obviously the this teams greatest strength anyway. fox/davidson being gone doesn't change that.

it would be nice for Clausen to sit and get a year under his belt before we throw him in with live bullets.. especially with the team looking as it has thus far..

but he could use the experience, I guess, with the lockout coming..

there is a side of me that is excited to watch Pickles play...

My concern is, is it really worth the risk? If they do start him and turn him into Weinke 2.0, then we are screwed for a couple of years - regardless of who the next coach is. And for what, maybe a couple of more wins in a throw-away season!

If they do start him, I hope they at least wait until after the bye as that would start him against the 49's and Rams instead of the Bengals and Saints. It would also give the coaches a little extra time to work on the offensive line and receivers.

If I were going to start Clausen, I would wait for Otah to come back and for Dude to move in to RG, if that is what they intend to do. Not fair, but you can't spend 2 QBs waiting for the OL to start producing.

Moore needs stablity--play calling, protection, route running, job security--he has not had this.

As a leader, he should step up, but maybe he senses that this is Clausen's team, and he is only biding time. With the recent veteran turnover, he knows he is not the QB of the future--He knows that they would not pay him good $$ with Clausen ready to perform. I feel sorry for him. His line is inferior (right side), his OC is inferior, his WRs are inferior, and he is expected to get results. NFL doesn't work that way. He is set up to fail, so don't be surprised when that happens. If I were Minnesota or a team like them, I would jump all over him in free agency.

We have a very good group of QBs in the NFC South. Clausen will have to step up for us to keep up.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
