Stats are for losers. It is what it is!

bradford has been pretty bad the last few weeks, but he still broke a couple rookie records... completions and attempts I think it was. he's still looked better than Clausen, though amusingly enough, I think that if he played here a lot of the same complaints would exist about him relating to his down the field game.

Bradford: 354/590 3512 yards 18/15 TD/INT Passes on 20+ yards: 36

Pickles: 157/299 1558 yards 3/9 TD/INT Passes on 20+ yards: 16

Bradford had a great season but really struggled most of his last 5 games... and yes, a lot of it has been on the receivers.

Clausen has just struggled all season, though 2 of his last 3 games he threw a TD pass in. Woo go Clausen.

So Jimmy has the following:

Half the amount of attempts

Just shy of half the amount of completions

Just shy of half the amount of yards

Just shy of half the completions over 20 yards

Just a shade more than half the interceptions

The only thing where these guys have been that different is TDs.

Bradford is a better QB and should progress from here, however everyone thinking that a better QB would do much better in the offensive system this year is missing the point. Our offensive production has gotten worse and worse since Davidson has taken over, as our offensive philosophy becomes more and more outdated.

Clausen was only part of the problem, mainly due to him being a rookie, however there were far more pressing problems than just a rookie singal caller. It's no coincidence that ALL the Qbs who played for us this year posted sub 60 QB ratings.

jimmy actually has more passing TDs and less INTs over the last 5 weeks, but he still blows.

I agree. I don't think a great QB would have done great here this year. Clausen misses some open passes, but hell, he is used to being hit on every play. Get him some time in the pocket.. If he still looks like poo, move on with him. Do I think we should pick up Luck? Yes.., but Clausen could still be a decent QB.

This was just having some fun, and something a little different than all the Luck/Harbaugh BS.

But, I do agree that Davidson and Fox were the problem more than Clausen. If an OC would actually call plays to show some of Jimmy's strengths, instead of trying to force him to do something a certain way you want, maybe we would have seen some progression. Not defending Clausen at all, but I think he could have had a better year with another staff. The rookie WRs stats prove that to an extent.

[mav1234]

both you guys are right on.

Clausen may not be "THE FUTURE OF THE FRANCHISE", and though he didn't help himself all that much, he really didn't get all that much help from the team either.

Exactly.

It would be foolish to declare Clausen a lost cause after this year. Once he got into the mindset that he was the starter for the season he actually played a bit better towards the end of the season and was MUCH more aggressive with his throwing.

If Luck comes out, he is the #1 pick. Without a doubt. Unless you have a bonafide franchise QB, you take the best Qb there is, no questions asked. Then we have the luxury of Jimmy lighting it up in the new scheme and someone chucking a lot at us for one of our QBs.

I just think people are getting carried away with Jimmy being the sole reason we have struggled. Our offense struggled before this season and got worse when we had 3 rookies in 4 of the skill positions in the passing game.
