Worst Situation in the NFL

Still not a very good definition. I would like to hear what kind of career QB rating you think an average QB has, comp. %, TD to int ratio, etc. "Game manager" is more in the eyes of the beholder than anything.

BTW - I mentioned Max Hall in my very first post. So, scratch that.

And just because you take a vote of the general fans doesn't mean you get a quality answer or the correct answer. You just draw from a larger sample of people who like to take part in polls but who have no clue about the question or the person. You see this in our political voting all the time.

EDIT: By the way, Clausen had some quality coaching while at ND. Or should have anyway. Something DA did not.

To be fair, Mike Riley is one of the best college coaches in the country he just doesn't get a lot of credit because he is up there in Corvallis. They always play a tough schedule (#1 in the country this year) and knock off big teams year in and year out. He's offered jobs every year (USC this past season) but turns them down because he loves the town in Oregon. If you look over the past 7-10 years, Oregon State has the 2nd best record in the Pac10 behind only USC (best record if you actually take away those wins for the Bush thing) but no one talks about them.

Riley also spent time in the NFL and ran a pro style offense up until this year when they ran the fly sweep offense because of the Rodgers brothers.

You said quality coaching, not the best QB coach ever. You said Clausen got quality coaching and DA didn't, which isn't true. I'm all about facts, even if it goes against my argument because I'm with you on this one.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
