About Pike and St. Pierre, be honest here

If Pike had started, and turned in the exact same performance as St. Pierre, wouldn't a lot of you be overlooking the two bad passes at the end and praise him as our QB of the future?

Praise him? No, I would overlook the one long pass and say that type QB play doesn't give a team a chance. Ravens gave up the long ball b/c every other pass was an ineffective two yard dump off.

The ball came out faster and more decisively yesterday than it has from either Pike or Clausen. Hell it takes more reps for a college spread O QB just to learn how to take a snap from center than our 2 guys have. We had a chance yesterday into the 4th quarter and that's more than most people gave us. I wouldn't mind seeing St Pierre again. He is #2 right now.

Yes... I'd say he had a good game for the most part, and has a bright future - BECAUSE HE'S A ROOKIE AND NOT A 30 YEAR OLD CAREER 3RD STRINGER JOURNEYMAN WHO WAS SITTING ON HIS COUCH UNEMPLOYED A WEEK AGO.

There's a huge difference. St. Pierre performed like he should have considering the circumstances - he shouldn't have been playing and there was really no logic behind it.

Additionally, I read somewhere that if you take away the 88-yard pass to Gettis, his yards per attempt was somewhere around 3.1. That is disgusting, and worse than Clausen. Now, it could have been because he had to checkdown due to not being familiar with the offense, but that's why he shouldn't have been in there.

I'm willing to bet Pike would've had a considerably higher, mid-high number on yards per attempt if he played.

St. Pierre played admirably, but the picks were bound to happen, and he shouldn't have been in there. Period.

I say up til the 4th qtr St.Pierre played great. He played better the Moore, Clausen, or Pike. But all good things always come to an end for us, its like they pull are qb's aside and have them throw the game, I always had those suspicions with Delhomme but this tops that easy. Pike didn't play as bad as Clausen but he just looks so damn un-mobile and drives me nuts watching a turtle in the pocket. So take your pick.... I say St.Pierre "gives us the best shot at winning", just don't bribe his ass

I disagree, and actually... Pike isn't your typical "lurch" big guy, one of his best attributes is his mobility, it was actually one of the biggest positives for him coming out. He also does well outside of the pocket.

Watching highlights of Colt McCoy, Vick, and even Eli Manning last night, I became that much more disgusted with Clausen. Again, I'm not pulling for or against any player outside of who gives us the best chance to win. But watching Clausen under pressure is like watching a lethal injection with no paralyzing agent... He can't move, which contributes to him just throwing it away at the first sign of pressure. He's unbelievably slow and unable to avoid pressure - he has NO elusiveness.

We have 2 QBs who have missed games due to concussions because our line cannot protect them.

Everything was off of 3 step drops to take away the pass rush. You can't throw down the field like that because receivers don't have time to get there. The Saint was chosen because his experience practicing in the league allowed him to get the ball out a half second faster and more decisively than anyone else we have.

The game plan was typical Fox trying to stay close with a chance to win at the end. It worked until we actually tried to win the game throwing down field at the end.

I get that, but like I said, Pike is mobile. Armanti is mobile. That helps negate crappy OL play. Additionally, Pike is 6'6" and has been in our system since training camp. So the yards per attempt weren't just by design and BSP shouldn't have been the starter.

If we ran a college spread Offense you would have a better point. Under center is a whole different ball game. It has to be taught in the NFL now because even High School teams run the spread. Play action and a decent running game gave us a small bit of balance on O yesterday against a very good D. I really doubt a running/mobile QB would have done better against Baltimore's speed.

I would actually like to see the Saint with a few more practices under his belt.

    • I don't think we need to argue over the existence of the drops. Look at the film. Instead of arguing about was this a drop or was that a drop we should be looking at the throws from Bryce and recognizing the fact that there are so many 50/50 balls and passes that receivers have to make physical adjustments to even attempt to haul in. You cannot just put everything on the receiver at all times. For the WR to have success the QB has to be able to more often than not put them in a position to succeed. And we also have to be able to acknowledge when the QB is putting the receiver in jeopardy and that did happen Sunday particularly with Renfrow. I mean even a guy like TMac with his catch radius has faced a challenge hauling in passes from Young. And we're pretty hyped about him. Legette and Sanders I will say have underwhelmed. That's something the head coach needs to sort out. But we still have a really good RB room and we have the highest paid OL for 2025 by a significant margin. Nobody here even necessarily expected Bryce and the team to win many games. They just expected to see competency and something really anything to build on going forward. What we did not want to see was multiple steps back again. And with the investments that have been made there's really no excuse.
    • I firmly believe that ship is sailed.  When he came out for his presser, I literally just watched it thinking how the guys in that locker room feel listening to this same poo every week.  Sure, there are other shitty players on this roster, and definitely some coaches, but when the one guy on the field whose play can make or break your day is consistently atrocious, where they’re doing poo like Dan shows in this breakdown…. Bro, we’re in year 3 and you don’t recognize they’re in zone and a defender is waiting to break on the pass you just stared down for 2 seconds?  And okay, that happens to every QB from time to time, but again, we’re in year 3, and you did it not once, but multiple times in one game.  Somebody else shared in a thread yesterday, I think it was, that the Jags didn’t even run anything exotic.  They didn’t blitz.  They didn’t try to confuse him.  They literally ran zone the majority of the game and rushed 4.  And the poo he did in this breakdown, especially that throw to Renfrow, looked, from memory, exactly like the picks he threw to Jessie Bates repeatedly.  So imagine that guy coming in the locker room and trying to say anything to you.  Even if it’s an apology.  I don’t want to hear it.  You are costing us a chance to win, and if you know you’re not capable of doing better, fall on your sword and take your ass to the bench.  That’s what a good teammate would do.  A shitty one keeps going out there selfishly doing the same dumb poo he’s been doing.  And Dan didn’t even show the scramble to stumble to fumble, which also seems like Bryce has done more times than I’ve ever seen one player do in my life already.  It’s just comedic at this point that anyone is still pretending he is anything but what he’s shown to be.  I really just wish he would bow out and give the players who are actually doing their job a fuging chance.
    • I think he has a chance and his mental makeup is a big part of why. I also think the Bears got a little complacent over the course of that game because the Vikings were completely inept on offense for most of it and once it started clicking for the Vikings the Bears couldn't get their head in the game and realize they had to wakeup and dial in again.
