Clausen's maturity


unicar15

Recommended Posts

I think it should be noted how mature he has been through this whole process. It seems like he is hell bent on getting better and establishing himself as a player on this team. Whether or not that actually happens IDK..but his attitude has been very impressive throughout. It can't be easy to have everyone clammoring for a new QB. Even though I'm not a big Clausen fan, I admire his attitude thus far and IMO shows that he is capable of being a player...mentally. I'm not sure about his ability physically.

I dunno. Over the season, I could never tell if he was mature enough "not to let it get to him" or not mature enough to take up the mantle of leadership and get angry enough to fix something...

I mean, I have no evidence he has even thought about football over the last few weeks so I can't really say much about his maturity in that regard. *shrug*

edit: I mean, yeah, he didn't look emotional or very beaten in press conferences which is a good thing considering how terrible he was. But he did seem disconnected somehow, which has me concerned.

His footwork and throwing motion are just as bad or worse then some QBs coming into the Draft this year. That what Im worried about not his maturity.

This. This this this this this.

...then again, it's not like his intangibles have me leaping out of my seat to defend him, either. There are some guys who are clear leaders, who inspire, like (as much as I am not a fan) The Golden Calf of Bristol. Clausen is not one of those guys right now.

Is there a guy in the draft that has a Big arm and accuracy? If you find him let me know cause thats who I want as my QB. Clausen has accuracy and can put the ball spot on but he tends to side arm the ball when moving in the pocket and that makes for bad days. His deep ball is suspect also. IMO he would be better suited for the WCO.

Gabbert and Mallett both fit that bill according to scouts.

It will depend on the QBs coach that comes in, will he be good enough to help him adapt to the NFL game, since clearly nobody was helping him last year.

I really just hope whoever our coaching staff is...they give up on rookies after one year. Then we will have one hell of a team in 20-30 years....maybe.

I thought both of them had spotty accuracy? I like Gabbert's ability to move in the pocket but I think he should be just as much of a first overall pick as Newton. Really I would not be upset with Gabbert, Mallett, or Newton but just not as a first pick.

Gabbert and Mallett both have pretty good accuracy on both short and long balls and both have experience throwing a ton of 'em.

Does anyone else see Ryan Leaf when they look at Mallett?

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
