Too many people not making sense here

Some people are already calling a rookie qb a bust? So you expect a rookie qb to put the worst offense in the NFL on top? I wasn't a fan of the Edwards pick, but why are people already labelling him as a bust? I myself don't think he'll be a good one, but I will at least give him the benefit of the doubt first. I have this said many times, and will continue to say it.....Rookie qbs are like rookie Sps in baseball. You can't expect them to be great right off the bat, they should get at least a couple years to prove themselves before being labelled as a bust. If Baseball Managers weren't patient with Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, Johan Santana, Roy Halladay, etc. They would never know how good those guys would turn out to be. Will Clausen be a good or great qb? I don't know, but he should at least have enough opportunities to prove himself first.

And for the poster (I won't mention his name) who said that most of the great qbs have been top picks, there are many of them who were not even a first round qb, including the guy considered by most has the greatest qb of all time.....Joe Montana.

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
