The Perfect (Sh*t) Storm

Taking in all of the current situation we're in - especially offensively, I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter who the QB is right now...

Why?

We're in the perfect sh*t storm. This isn't a trash JR thread per the usual, although he deserves every bit of that - this is specifically about the personnel, or lack thereof and why this offense is doomed...

*We have the least amount of starts among all 3 QBs on the roster out of every team in the NFL.

*With Smitty out, the same can be said for the WR corps as well.

*Basically we have a whole new right side of the OL, with Schwartz and Bernadon't. The OL play is sh*t overall across the board.

*2 of our first 3 picks can't play (whether active or inactive), when we had an immediate need at WR.

*The WRs we have either don't get open consistently or drop the ball too often

*Clausen doesn't let the play develop and checks down

*Moore does, but he gambles and throws into coverage

*No mentor to tell them what they're doing or looking at

*No "feel" on reads between WRs and QBs

*THE BIGGEST PROBLEM - PLAYCALLING, it just complicates all the others. The personnel is limited by the playcalling and the the playcalling may be limited b/c they don't trust the personnel.

Out of all that, although I believe 99% of the vet releases didn't hurt us, letting Moose go did. Clausen may be damaged goods now b/c of Fox's handling of the situation... Idk that he was the answer anyway, but, I definitely have questions now. This is just a disaster.

dunno what's going on with Clausen, but he looked beyond terrible today. Saying he isn't NFL ready after today's start is probably the biggest understatement one can make.

In a way, I think they need to start him after the bye to see how he responds... because if you bench him now, he is pretty much screwed.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
