Where Does Clausen Play Next Year?

We are not going to give up on a rookie QB. No matter how bad he has played. HE IS A ROOKIE!!!!!!! Rookie qbs can take years to develop. I think Bradford's success has our fans questioning Clausen but people need to realize that having a rookie Qb as good as Bradford (who broke PEYTON MANNINGS rookie completion record) is very rare and most NFL rookie qbs struggle their first year. Not to mention we don't have a great offense to help support Clausen.

I think Clausen will be cut assuming we get an aggressive and knowledgeable coach. It's time this team starts moving on from their mistakes and instead of repeating them. This team kept Dwayne Jarrett for far too long and he never improved. JC has been absolutely awful and he clearly doesn't deserve any of the play time he's been given. After plenty of starts he repeatedly makes the same mistake and has shown me nothing.

I wouldn't mind seeing Clausen and Edwards released before the start of next season. I want players not projects.

You shouldn't say such things unless you want to be ridiculed by every member, besides myself that is.

I really feel thats what will happen. The team retained Weinke after his bad rookie season thru a coaching change. I just dont see JR giving up on the kid that quickly. Not saying they wont get other QBs, but he will be here.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
