I Think we got the lemon QB in the draft

Damn that not a good look for a pro ready qb coming out.

Real talk, Jimmy can't even get over 100 yards!

You know what I'm tired of him skipping the ball off the ground on quick smoke screens and on missing hitches there has to be a difference in rookie learning and not being that accurate. He's missing deep routes with underthrown balls maybe we just have to enjoy this lemonade

That we DO throw a lot of short passes.

I'm glad you provided that stat, but I want to point out that I don't think that it's our offense is designed for us to throw short passes, Clausen throws short passes.

Part of many people's concerns about him coming out in the draft was his habit of checking down, which inflated his college stats, and his inability to throw it deep, or at least throw it deep well. That stat shows that concern was legitimate. Difference is, I think he and Smitty weren't getting along well before Smitty was injured and he was looking him off, and we don't have a big YAC guy beside him.

We are easily the worst offensive team too, and Clausen is only a part of that. He does seem better suited for a WC offense.. however, he isn't last in 40 yard completions at least! haha.

Not that it is possible to ever prove it, but I firmly believe that if you put any rookie on our roster, and hell, almost any QB, they would be bad if not terrible, too. =\ Not sure what happened between the end of last year and this year. Loss of Moose, Hoover, and Otah that huge? :(

He is in 20+ ones, though, and he can definitely make 20 yard completions.

I do not think his arm strength is one of his major issues. People have pointed out a bad release point etc, but I never remember reading about that in his scouting report. Did I just miss it, or has our QB coach worked wonders on our new rookie?

The thread is comparing to other ROOKIES, some who have started LESS than 3.

true enough. Mccoy only needed one game to equal Jimmy's TDs(and INTs, lol) in his three starts.

However, let's hold off on crowning Mccoy - or Bradford, for that matter - for a bit yet. Same with tossing out Jimmy.

His game against Chicago was one of the worst QB performances I've seen in a long, long time. His game against NO gave me some hope, but Chicago definitely was baad.

At this point, drawing any conclusions other than "Bradford has played pretty well in some games and not so well in others, Mccoy played ok for a rookie in one, and Clausen played absolutely abysmal in one" would be premature, imo.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
