Makes me feel better every time I read it.

Its sad to say but I did watch some of the rams game yesterday. Their offensive line looked much better than ours...God what has the world come to?

If Bradford had taken one of those weak side safety blitz shots that Clausen took in the second half yesterday, he'd still be on the field.

Hmm. Interesting read. Unfortunately, there's something that makes me not feel better about the two comparisons:

http://www.nfl.com/players/jimmyclausen/profile?id=CLA709185

TDS - 0/INT - 2/YDS - 247/Completion % - 47.9/RTG - 46.1

http://www.nfl.com/players/sambradford/profile?id=BRA101548

TDS - 4/INT - 5/YDS - 655/Completion % - 59.0/RTG - 68.1

Now... granted... Clausen has only one start. But his numbers are on par with Bradford's numbers for the same reps.

I think the long and the short of it is this... they're both rookies and are playing as such. They both have a long ass way to go before we know if they are average/great/busts.

...and Clausen was a rookie QB getting his first start in a wet, sloppy mess yesterday while Bradford was playing in a dome.

And? I'm not saying Clausen is worse or better than Bradford. I'm saying they are both Rookies and play as such. I'm saying that to point out that people who expect these cats to come out of the draft throwing for 400 yards and 6 TDs are being unrealistic.

Well if they would have kept Vincent we'd have the same line that allowed us to run all over the Vikings and Giants...suprised people aren't making any Trade Gross threads.

I'm not making any "trade Gross" threads because I think he will be back 100% next season.. his knee surgery is taking longer to gain strength than anticipated, I'm sure.

I still don't know why we thought Bernadeau was an upgrade over Vincent.

    • The biggest problem in Washington was Bieniemy. First year starting QB and a poor pass blocking OL and your plan is to throw the ball at the highest percentage rate in the NFL? Yikes.
    • One could argue we've been there for 5 years. 
    • I believe many are just looking at this wrong.  For any to come in here, in what is absolutely an unproven offense, and suggest that we're just going to let our young QB sling it around... that is not a recipe for success.  Don't care who the young QB is.  It is absolutely best to start the season establishishing the run game, and allow Young better opportunities to flourish.   I know half of you simply thing the kid is already a waste of time. That take is pretty damn pointless at this moment.  It is in the best interest of this team that Young becomes the winner here in the pros that he has been throughout all his playing days.  I know we're in a passing league. I've heard  that most of you feel a team can't win in the modern NFL with leaning more on the running game.  All that poo doesn't matter. Without balance,  neither is going to win in the NFL.  A strong running game has to be respected by opposing defense.  They won't have a choice.  Either commit to stopping it or be ran over, and in the 4th QB their defense will be gassed and worthless.   Finding true balance will mean the passing game will exceed all expectations for this team.    When teams rely upon a balanced attack it has been proven time and time again that a good stable of running backs is needed.  Even elite passing attacks need some threat of a running game.    This season is going to be a growing season no matter what.  Leaning on the run game is a great way for this team to exceed expectations.
