We have watched what, 5 games this year? I don't recall a single fumbled snap by anyone not named Clausen in our matchups.

Bradford has got to be close to leading the league in turnovers. I guess he is hopeless too.

Clausen has a problem with snaps because he's trying to move too fast and not securing the ball. It's a rookie mistake that will correct over time. One thing he's not doing is throwing a lot of interceptions by any measure so pick your poisen.

just sayin....we have watched 5 Panther games now. Only QB fumblin in those games has been Clausen....which means it is not the ball. That is what this thread is about.

Clausen has 6 fumbles. None were forced.

Bradford has played every game. 0 fumbles.

One guy has a fumbling problem. One doesn't. Why are you bringing up Bradford?

and yeah, if you don't look down field and check down...you generally don't throw picks....well, unless you throw lows balls those tend to eventually turn into picks being batted around. But let's try to stay on topic....

Also before looking at Bradfords TO Number you need to see him play first. I know at least three of his interceptions have been late in games down by a considerable margin forced to try and make plays... One was a hail mary, another a 4th and goal, a couple more down big trying to make plays.... I only know this because I'm in St. Louis and at the bar the Rams games are on the big screen.

Don't let stats tell the whole story for you... it will mislead you.

Logic doesn't work with these people. It's either Clausen is god or you are an idiot. There is no room here for real analysis.

No one that I've seen said Clausen is God. We are simply saying he's a rookie, was drafted in the 2nd round, this team suck, let's stick with him through the year and see what we have.

this thread is about his fumbling issue......we all should be able to agree he has one and that it is an issue......and hope it gets better quick.

I watch the Rams play every single week. I have Sunday ticket and have seen all their games including thier game last week against the Lions. I've done a lot of work in St. Louis and followed the team in recent years. So rest assured I am not being misled any more than fans who think a rookie quarterback is the overwhelming reason why the Panthers are 0-5

The classic double standard happened last week when I watched Bradford have a ball tipped by Suh and promptly intercepted by Suh. Yet no one talks about Bradford throwing low or missing audibles or being top 3 in the league in interceptions. He gets a break because they have had some success albeit against terrible teams.

I am pointing out Bradford because he and Clausen are both rookies. Yes Bradford is having more success than Clausen right now. The jury is still out on both.

it's clearly an issue. agreed it needs to be corrected quick. but we should also agree that clausen's fumbles are not the difference in any game he's played in this season. i could start a thread about how few interceptions he's thrown but that hasn't made a difference either.

I would say QB play has been the reason we are losing and not winning.....QB play has been the difference. I would apply that to all 5 games this season. His fumbling has impacted games b/c it impacts drives.

I think you are too fixated on Jimmy only having 3 INTs.....and what you claim that means.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
