Worse - D-Line or Clausen?

I would say once Clausen gets caught once badly then he loses all confidence in his OLine and starts to panic.

Honestly Williams is the only genuinely poor OLine player we have at the moment.

EDIT - Mis-read the question thoguht it was OLine.

I would say they are equally a huge area of concern. Actually, scratch that, our DEs have generated good pressure recently and it's just our DTs that have struggled.

O Line.

This guy's got it. QB can't do anything when he has immediate pressure in his face every play. D-Line isn't doing well but at least we have a couple guys there making plays (Charles Johnson, for example). The O-Line has just been pathetic. Jordan Gross and Ryan Kalil should be completely ashamed of themselves.

how many blocks did Kalil misread today? When will our line learn how to handle a stunt?

gah. frustrating.

It's not just the QB's fault we're 1-11 either..

Imbecile.

man dude, I wanted Clausen to be good so bad too, and maybe he'll do well in the future, but wow, he looked terrible today in the 3rd quarter.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
