I don't worry about what other QB's are doing. Every individual is different and qb's will develope at a different pace. Clausen has improved, and thats really all that matters for us. If he continues to improve, then he could be a good QB for us.

FWIW, Clausen's improved play is partially related to gains in experience by Lafell and Gettis. The improved running game helps a lot as well.

Would you consider Andrew Luck's game irrelevant if he does the same thing as Bradford and we pass on him? Get over your man crush on Clausen because Andrew Luck is going to be the pick if he declares.

I'd hope we pick Luck.

Again, what does this have to do with Clausen?

Or do you think Pike, BSP, Null or AE could put up Bradford-like numbers?

I'm just trying to get a gauge on expectations.

Are our expectations that low that Clausen is in a category of his own, even with players with the same experience as him?

Is there "Jimmy" good, "Jimmy" bad, "Jimmy" great, then normal levels of good, bad, and great? Where do the "Jimmy" levels fall?

Can he not be compared to other rookies, regardless of where they were picked?

Sure, Bradford looks way better than Clausen. Hell, Bradford in the first half of that game looked better than anyone this week so far.

I'll let you in on a little secret, too.

The Rams look better than the Panthers. By a mile... and not just at quarterback, but the entire damn team from coach on down looks better this year.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
