SS ain't stupid. He knows that realistically you guys are 3 years out from having any kind of decent QB play(drafting a QB this year, or trying to develop pickles) Either way it is a 3 year project. He will be 35 and he knows his career will almost be over. He does not have 3 years to wait.

Your right, 3 years typically is how long it takes for a team to turn it around :rolleyes:

The only people who know what happened during this meeting are JR and Smitty. Maybe Smith just wanted to tell JR how inadequate Clausen is. Perhaps Smitty was trying to get reassurance from JR that they would be upgrading the QB position in the offseason' date=' whether it be with Luck or via FA....[/quote']

Or maybe JR is asking Smitty to finally step up and show some team leadership instead of spouting for the media.

We'll only know what was said in hindsight.

sorry guys but at this point its obvious - Smittys heart isnt in this team anymore- I dont think it has been since the first couple of games. at this point he is a distraction and dragging the team even lower if that is even possible. Time to let him go and hope that one of our rookies will step it up next year if we manage to find a qb that can get them the ball.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
