The Pro Clausen Thread....

Yes, but yours is laughable.

The wait and see approach is the only approach that any reasonable football fan would make right now.

Clearly mine is an exaggeration. And Jimmy will have my support for as long as he plays for us. I just don't think he has what it takes, and that is based on more than just one year in the NFL. Obviously I don't know that he is a bust. I'm just pretty certain.

There are two types of people on this board.

Those who know for sure that Clausen is a bust.

And those with actual football knowledge.

These two traits cannot exist in the same person.

Plain and simple, the jury is still out on Clausen. No one knows what he is capable of within a legit NFL offense and adequate coaching. To pretend otherwise just makes you look like a football ignoramus.

In another year when he still stinks can we bump this thread and have you apologize?

Get a vet and start Clausen and still draft a QB early if talent permits.

Clausen needs a solid chance. Last year he was thrown out there and played teams who knew what we were doing 99% of the time. Constant bland, predictable plays. It wasn't only the coaching but the team lacked anybody that could help Jimmy out. One thing if for sure Jimmy is tough, he took a lot of poo this year and played the last game, close to Carrs level and doesn't appear to be having a melt down. He still deserves a solid chance.

how about JON GRUDEN as OC and QB COACH since GRUDEN is a QB expert why not talk to him about coming an coaching clausen and the other qb we have.HE sure will teach him how to prepare in the NFL and how to think quickly like if he is throwing the ball don't tak to many steps back and learn how to get rid of the ball like one thosand two onethosand three onethousand and ball gone or tuk it in and run.

Totally agree.

I'm kind of glad that Luck isn't entering the draft, because I think we have a lot more needs than QB, and since we just drafted Clausen and Pike, I'm glad we can spend the first round pick on something else, like DT.

I'm willing to give Clausen 3 years, if after that he still sucks then I'll pile on him too. That's what true fandom is all about. :)

    • 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 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
