We would all love to believe that Fox had no idea how to coach young players and didn't game plan around Clausen. That would be sweet.

But when Rivera can't do anything with Clausen and Fox finds success in Denver, maybe we will all admit that the QB is our biggest need and move along.

Maybe

Bookmarked. Right or wrong, you'll see this comment again

Give up, Rock. You are arguing with people who claim to be experts at mediocrity and sucking. They now have a sports writer to lead them. Ineffective play at QB (Moore and Clausen) might be systemic. He never singled out the reasons, but some hear what they choose to hear. Besides, if he were a talent evaluator, he would have a better job too. If Clausen comes out in 2011 or 2012 firing on all cylinders, I expect a few usernames and avatars will get changed.

I believe his point was that when the Oline is "Healthy" they are a strong and very good unit. We need a RG in FA.....and then to bolster the depth.

We do have three outstanding backs....set there.

If the QB play is elevated, the combination of Smith, LaFell, and Gettis can definitely get it done at a high level.

His comment was merely pointing out that it does not matter what happens at RB, OL, and WR....if the QB play is not elevated we will continue to lose.

He is not saying that we should stand pat at WR or Ol....just that QB MUST be addressed. And he is correct.

Why is it so easy to pick out the Clausen 'nad-handlers in these threads?

If you say so. For myself, anyone that has the stones to publicly say that the O-Line was fine in the 2010 season needs to have their "Football 101" badge revoked (including any commentators)

I agree with the O-line play, I am not a Clausen fan but there were plenty of times the guy didn't have the time to drop back and even try and make a play. They also had a hard time opening holes for any of our backs, so the O-line play was less than average for me last year. We go with what we have this year, hopefully we get a vet QB to compete and tutor Jimmy and Otah comes back healthy.

Steve Smith is over the hill and got outplayed by two rookie WRs.

Steve looked fine when he had a competent QB in there. Do the numbers. They are as good with Moore as they were with Clausen...only Moore had him for 5 games and the Jim for 10. I'd say he's got something left if he's got a QB that isn't scared of him.

Still crossing my fingers that Jim will grow a pair this offseason and mature into a real life NFL QB and show all of you haterz out there wrong :p

It's as easy to pick out the Clausen "'nad-handlers" as it is to pick out the Cam "'nad-handlers" in a thread.

See below.

I'm glad to see that Newton is being talked about in the media now as a legit prospect for us. Here's to hoping Hurney pulls the trigger on him.

Right on time.

The o-line did suck with poor play and injuries. But both Moore and Clausen did them few favors. If the defense knows you can't handle pressure and fold under a blitz what are they going to do all day? You stop blitzes by making the defense pay when they run it. Neither of our guys did much to handle it at all.

So yeah the quarterback needs to take some of the blame as well.
