So know we have 2 young QBs with no confidence

I know we have no receivers but I felt Matt Moore was pulled too soon. Now we are in a situation with both young starters looking over their shoulders with every bad pass.

I have yet to see a pass that Clausen can make that Moore can't. And several that Moore can that Clausen can't. Clausen's arm was a big question mark coming in and it's obvious that he has to "heave" the ball with a lot of body to get a pass out to the sidelines. He also tends to drop back into the pocket and instead of watching his reads, tucks the ball as the pocket forms and starts to scramble. He just isn't ready. Not his fault.

On a bright side Jeff King got another false start to start a drive and Jordan Gross didn't. To my knowledge.

Discipline seems to once again be lacking with this team. Poor tackling, stupid penalties and once again the worst special teams in the league.

Just my thoughts. I hope we can keep at least Stewart or D Will but its not looking great.

Cheers!

I expected this to happen once he was drafted... a lot of us were. After 08, I didn't expect this situation to happen, mainly cause I expected for us to go hard after a receiver.

One of the worst situations to have with a team, a young team at that, is a QB controversy. Smh

They should complete a couple of passes to ugly receivers to get their confidence back.

Agree. I don't know if there has ever been a more pathetic core of receivers without Smitty on the field. Would be nice to have Otah back too.

I felt today they should have stayed with the wildcat. Why not? You obviously won't score with a conventional method.

Made a prediction before the game that we wouldn't pass for 50 yards. Everyone said I was crazy but I think if that wasn't spot on it had to be close.

I didn't see the Bradshaw comment but kind of remember hearing it. My main concern is that he seems to "tuck and run" almost every pass.

I said after game 2 that it was too early to start Clausen. He isn't seeing things quick enough. He needed to hold the clip board a little longer. The proper transition would have been to let Moore start through this game and if he doesn't turn it around start Jimmy after the bye week. Today he was too quick to check it down and appeared to play scared.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
