Clausen versus Weinke- a better comparison

Everyone is talking about Clausen versus Bradford but honestly what about Clausen against our very own Chris Weinke who was a fourth rounder who never developed.

Weinke game 1- 13-22 for 223 yards- 1TD- win against Minnesota

Weinke game 2- 27-41 for 276 yards- 0 TDs- loss to Atlanta

Clausen- game 1- 16-33 for 188 yards- 0TD- loss to Cincinnatti

Clausen game 2- 11-21 for 146 yards- 1TD- loss to the Saints.

Weinke's offense scored 20 points a game- Clausen's 10 points.

Look at who Weinke had around him- no better cast than Clausen, in fact you could argue it was worse.

Go back and look at Collins first 2 starts as well and you will clearly see that right now Clausen is the 3rd best rookie we have had start for us behind Weinke and Collins. And that doesn't bode that well for the future.

i honestly attribute much of clausen's struggles to not getting reps with the starters during camp and preseason.

the comparisons you guys are making should not only be vs rookies, but vs rookies who came in for injured or benched starters into the regular season.

did anyone see kolb fumble his first or second snap when he came in for vick yesterday? those sort of things happen when you have been away from the starting offense, not because you are a bad quarterback.

again the mistakes in these first few games resemble much of what should have been ironed out in the preseason.

Joe Flacco?

Joe Flacco?

Flacco has started since game one of 2008 so I don't see your point.

Ohh his first two games he definitely balled out.

Game 1 15/29 for 129 yards a 4.4ypc average and 0tds....he blew them away here.

Game 2 13/19 for 129 yards again...oooo better ypc average...wait for it, wait for it.. 0 TD's 2INT...OMG MVP!

Through his first 5 games he had 1 ONE ONE TD vs SEVEN 7, 7 interceptions.

Different kind offensive thinking when Weinke started. Fox doesnt throw the ball as much as Seifert did.

Go back and look at the games, we ran more with Weinke as Quarterback the first 2 games then we did with Clausen. In Weinke's first game was ran 30 times for 93 yards. In his second start we ran 20 times for 84 yards.

In Clausen's games we ran the first game we ran 22 times for 87 yards including 6 by Clausen. In the second game we ran 23 times for 118.

Another myth debunked.

Face it folks. Through 2 games Clausen hasn't looked good at all and didn't look as good as Weinke.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.

      I mean, our TE room does suck but we had other pressing needs and no surefire upgrades in the draft. I was surprised at how many TEs went in the first three rounds. I think most everyone was. You want a guy who projects at least as a guy who has the potential ceiling to be a starter in those rounds and I didn't see 11 of those in this draft. Off the top of my head, I think that's how many TEs went in the first three rounds. It was in that range. That's roughly 10% of the overall picks. Definitely did NOT see that coming with this TE class.
