Clausen actually looked like a pro QB today


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Not so fast, Pantherland. Clausen actually looked pretty competent today. Not perfect, but confident.

The coaches actually took the training wheels off to a degree, and Clausen actually was able to pretty much take advantage of what little time that the O-line was providing and make some plays in the short passing game. This is the first time that he didn't actually look like he was playing scared most of the game, and it would be refreshing to see even more of a progression in that area as the season goes on.

Wouldn't it be nice to see what the kid can do if he had even a couple of seconds of more time on each play? It just makes me wonder what could be. Perhaps Clausen isn't the comprehensive bust that many have assumed.

clausen did some good things today, he was mostly taking three step drops and throwing hitches and slants. He also threw a couple nice back shoulder fades, and one nice deep ball to ss. But he still has trouble throwing routes down the field, and over the middle of the field. That will be his inevitable downfall.

Agreed, today was far and away his best day. Of course, it helped that we finally had a 100 yard rusher for the first time this year.

The early fumble, and four bad plays by King hurt us a lot today. Might have had a shot if we didn't get off to such a bad start.

Clausen certainly has a shot at being our starter. Just look at how poorly Freeman played last year, and his improvement this year.

imagine if our defense had actually stopped them, or the refs hadn't gift-wrapped them some points...

clausen looked like a pro qb but you're going to need to do more than he did to really thrive in this league. for a rookie he did well though.

True, but right now week to week improvement is waht you want to see.

Plus, with the way this OL is playing it is going to be hard to tell exactly how good he is.

    • So you believe that Levis had a better day throwing deep because one of those was a TDs? Asking for clarity on that as it was already clearly demonstrated that Bryce would've had a TD had Moore not dropped it in the back of the end zone. The entire purpose of their metric is to look at the throw and grade that because the QB has complete control over it. That was made abundantly clear from the video provided prior to that. Nobody is trying to manifest him as a top-10 player. He had performances during his return from benching that measured in the top-10 in different metrics. The issue at play is that because those stats support Bryce's progress (and refutes that his ceiling is his floor), that you and other people that don't care for Bryce being the Panthers' QB are going out of your way to either a) ignore factual data, or b) cast uncertainty on the methodology. There's no actual interest in stats and facts like as you mentioned previously. All of the non-PFF info, like passing yards in a single game, is also not entirely reliant on the QB. That's one of the points that Jimmy has hammered home but y'all continue to try and sidestep: that the ability to throw deep relies more on elements like timing rather than physically having a howitzer for an arm. Yes, arm strength does play a role but let's not be coy: the entire narrative that Bryce is not a capable deep ball thrower is 100% rooted in the same reasoning that folks had for thinking he wouldn't survive an NFL hit... bro is too smol. We have plenty of data (AND film) that show this. Whether or not the people that don't want it to be true stop clinging to what they want to believe instead is up to them.
    • This isn’t a bad deal for the right people. Sure not everyone has that kind of money to burn. But $10k for everything including all travel (that includes a private flight), lodging, meals, tix to the game? Meeting former players? It’s a lot of logistics that if done solo would take a lot of time to coordinate. When I was younger I spent my time to save money, and now I spend my money to save time. 
    • Displays of luxury spending like this are the only thing that will wake up the poor peasants currently shouting at each other. At least, that's my only way to optimistically look at this trash.
