Check Down

Recommended Posts

Who is the smarter QB, Cutler or Clausen? Clausen will check down when he doesn't see anything, Cutler tries to stretch the field every play and won't check down and thats why he has an concussion. He won't throw a 3 yard pass for his life! I hope and pray Cutler gets the start, our defense is better than the Giant's, and I think we will pick him off at least 3 times if he starts!

As someone mentioned Clausen checks down in part because he's a rook but also in the abscence of short passing plays thanks to crappy playcalling. This team has not reached the point of vertical passing that requires 6 seconds for routes to develop. They should be throwing screens, jet slants, quick outs, stop passes, and play action.

Again, if anyone with Sunday ticket watches the Rams... they do this all day long. The key is to get the ball in the hands of playmakers as fast as possible.

For many years I've had a long standing disgust for the Broncos. I watched with glee as they blew playoff game after playoff game, then finally blew chances to get to the playoffs all-together.

Thanks in large part to Cutler. He is a terrible QB. Trading Orton for Cutler was not an upgrade for the Bears.

That being said, I don't have that much faith in Clausen, a rookie, right now. But I'm excited to see how he develops. He has some good looks on the ball from time to time and could probably mature into a good player, but he's running an uphill race right now. He's doesn't look ready.

I'd suspect this will be a very low scoring game.

P.S. You said our defense is better than the "Giants"?

Uh... they spanked us, and scored the most points on us so far.

Yes sir, but our QB gave up 18 points to them by throwing 3 picks at their goal line. Oh, Gamble had a bad wheel that game too

why are you bashing someone who's only been in the league for 4 games? And then your comparing him to someone who has been in the league for 4 yrs.

Cause Clausen actually looks like a 4 year guy and Cutler looks like the same Cutler. I know Denver is real happy, trust me, I'm from there and my family still lives there. We thought McDaniels was stupid, I guess he is pretty smart for his age!

Okay...

NFL.com stats disagrees with you.

Giants are #3. We're #18.

No, our defense is not better than the Giants.

You didn't watch that game? You didn't see Moore throw those picks?

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
