The deal was sealed

for me when Clausen under threw Gettis by 8 yards and 5 yards to the left on th defensive holding penalty...That should have been a touch down. If we get Gettis a qb he will be the next big thing in Carolina. Same goes for Lafell. That throw was pathetic.

How about taken a sack on 4th and 3 or the countless balls being knock down by Dlinemen.

Heard Eugene Robinson on the radio today talking about a bad pass Clausen threw. He said if it had been a better pass, it probably would have been picked off.

And so, in a resigned voice, he said "I guess we should be thankful for a bad pass."

To me, that pretty well summed up our season :(

Im still divided on the issues. There are alot of different factors Clausen has had to overcome, and not all quarterbacks have good seasons (Bradford has been an exception this year) their rookie year.

But yes Clausen has thrown some of the crappiest passes Ive seen since my brothers high school football game. His looks are horrible and stares down receiver like people stare down Cletus Delroy Spuckler in a Von Maur. Not to mention Clausen isn't a very tall guy.

I agree completely. I think both LaFell and Gettis have a lot of potential here.

That being said, both of them dropped balls they should have come down with. It's not entirely on Clausen.

Dropping a pass happens from time to time but consistently being unable to put the ball on target and running backwards when faced with pressure is not something you wanna see.

    • 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
