At least Clausen had a decent arm....

Mighty Mouse has nothing to offer. Yes Clausen sucked, but he could heave it when needed. This chump can't throw it twenty yards. They somehow found a guy worse than Clausen with no arm....good job Tepper. He is your boy and your guy.

No he didn't and he never did. Bryce is who Clausen thought he was. Clausen just threw the balls Bryce won't because he was also dumber with nothing to lose without that first overall paycheck. 

Clausen had the worst arm I have ever seen and tiny hands to boot. Bryce is just your typical NFL bust level talent without the hunger or need to earn a roster spot...yet

Clausen threw "flatline" passes along a low trajectory that made them easier to disrupt and / or harder to catch.

Randy Fasani was the worst. 
 

I think Matt Moore may have had one of the best arms, but he just never developed right.

Clausen was the worst passer this team has ever started and it is not even close. I thought Steve Smith was going to kill him on the field because Clausen kept throwing balls at his feet 

I remember saying at the time that I thought at least one of those was deliberate, done as an attempt to "send a message" to Smith.

Yeah, good idea 😖

There's a line in Remember the Titans where Coach Herman Boone says to QB Ronnie Bass "you can throw the ball a mile but you can't pitch it six feet".

There are definitely guys who do great throwing bombs but struggle with short and mid-level "touch passes". Lotta guys with strong arms have that issue because they don't know how to take some of the mustard off their throws.

Hell, Brett Favre broke guys' fingers.

I'm not sure.  I remember Clausen being worse than Young but when I look at Clausens highlight reel on Youtube he's clearly making throws downfield off of his back foot that Young simply can't - unless he's running forward to launch it.

But yeah Clausen didn't belong on the field whereas Young will occasionally climb the pocket and deliver a strike.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
