At least Clausen had a decent arm....

Also Wilson was clearly uncomfortable around black people which is a problem if you’re trying to be in the nfl at all, let alone play qb.

If your brothers and sisters look like this you need to get your ass transferred to LSU or something

Clausen was another guy that just played with superior talent his entire life so it didn't matter how good he was.  He didn't have a good arm but he also just sucked on the mental aspect.

I still remember writing an angry email to some Panthers email in 2010 about how awful the team was. Jerry fuging Richardson called me lol (along with a few others that had done the same). He blamed it all on Fox hahaah

i wrote an email to the panthers back and JR actually mailed me something back lol

Got to give im credit no owner would do that lmao

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.

 

 

try not to cry, cry a lot

I guess what would be considered "fair?"

Honestly, probably anything past the 2nd round is a stretch.

Your criteria was who drafted worse QBs than Weinke/Clausen/Bryce. Weinke was a 4th round pick, so why is anything past the 2nd a stretch?

Yeah, that's what I mean. Weinke would probably have to be removed. Him stinking it up as a 4th rounder isn't really particularly abnormal.

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.

You had me at "Clausen could heave it when needed". The Clausen I watched had a weak and inaccurate arm.Whatever one thinks of Bryce Young,there is no way he is worse than Clausen was.

I can say with certainty that I endured an entire season of Clausen and never ever want to go through that again. In fairness to Clausen, he came into an impossible situation with a lame duck coach and an owner who deliberately gutted the team to save money for the upcoming lockout.

But man, oh, man. At least Bryce has had his fair share of moments. I can't recall a single positive play from Clausen at all. And that’s from someone that remembered this one play from Brian St Pierre, a third string journeyman. That's how much I want to not remember Clausen.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
