Where Does Clausen Play Next Year?


Ruff

Recommended Posts

Many expected a second rounder--we can say he was a top 10 pick but now you know why teams desperate for QBs passed on him--to overcome rookie WRs, 3 scrubs on the line, an inept Offensive Coordinator, and win games. When has that ever happened? Look at Manning's first year in Indy. As much as Clausen showed why he wasn't ready (or Moore, or Pike, or St. Pierre, etc), the fans showed how quickly they turn on a player.

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.

Thanks for clarifying the previous troll. I see you didn't include Clausen being "the future" in this post.

Edit: separate from the comments above.. and for the record... I wouldn't compare Pat White and Clausen.. the outcome may end up being the same, but hindsight is hardly a worthy prophet..

I wasn't making a comparison in terms of QB play.

Just simply pointing out teams will part with guys after 1 season....even 2nd round picks. If you don't work, you don't work. Carolina will part w/ at least one drafted QB. I don't think they will part w/ both but Clausen is so bad I wouldn't totally rule it out after the new HC gets in here and goes through camp.

Pretty much.

Does he stay with us? Do we trade him away to the some other team, and if so, what value would Clausen actually bring?

Seattle, Pete Carroll tried to recruit him to USC and i think he would trade a 5th or 6th round pick for him or sign him when he's released with a darkhorse canadiate being the Redskins.

    • 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.
