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.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
