I have never lied about Clausen though.

He does know how to diagnose plays, executing them is one thing but at least he can talk about them. Cam's was like watching The Situation at the Roast of Donald Trump, just brutal.

So, Clausen should go coach high school football or something.

Auburn didn't run a complex system.....so what. They didn't need one. Why get complex when you don't need to. They went undefeated and won a NC runing that simplistic crap....they could do it b/c they had a freak at QB. You give a good coaching staff a talent like Cam......and things most likely will work out fine. IMO, if you don't want Cam......then the real question mark is the coaching staff.

drawing circles on a board can be taught, and usually it's the coaches that are the ones doing the drawing. i personally believe he's willing to learn, I think he has the capability of learning, and we have the coaching staff that is able to teach.

Yes but he's so far behindddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

you don't know that.....people claimed the same thing about The Golden Calf of Bristol. The Golden Calf of Bristol looked light years ahead of Clausen. The Golden Calf of Bristol looked every bit as good as Bradford when he played last year.

I agree with what your saying about Auburn's offense. Yes is was simple, but its not the job of the college coaching staff to prepare every player for the NFL. They have to win games with what system they think is best. I can not fault Cam Newton for that at all and I personally though he did a good enough job drawing up that play on Gruden's show. Learning the verbal and complexity of an NFL offense is I feel that he can do in time.

I have to disagree with you though about a coaching staff would he crazy to not want him. If he does not fit what Carolina wants to do on offense, then he should not be drafted.

I would rather the panthers teach someone that knows very little and is willing to learn, than one that thinks he knows everything and really doesn't.

We're talking about X's and O's and yes we all know how far behind he is

At the risk of catching some people's wrath here the system isn't that simple. The play calling was. Instead of the verbiage that Gruden used it was a simple play call. Almost like calling a play in basketball.

But in a lot of ways Newton will be learning a new language which will be challenging but he will get it.

And also to be fair about Gruden, the only QB that could ever learn Gruden's verbiage was Gannon.

I remember a story where Brad Johnson, who by that time was a seasoned vet in the NFL, couldn't figure out what the hell Gruden was saying when they were in Tampa Bay :lol:

There is a big misconception out there that the Auburn offense is incredibly simple. The offensive plays and the reads you must make as a qb in the offense are no simpler than any other college offense. What is simple is the language used to call the plays. Being a HUNH offense does not afford the qb the time to call a complex sounding play. That does not mean that the play that is called is not complex in its execution.

I agree with that.....that is why I think drafting Clausen and Pike was dumb. You draft 2 QBs when you know that you are about to bring in a brand new coaching staff.....and have no clue what would fit there offense.

If Cam doesn't have the skill set that would fit the offense then I agree, you don't draft him.

So. Are you gonna assume that he can't pick up an NFL offense because you have presented no evidence to back that up.

Clausen at least knows play design theory and could talk about it like he isn't semi retarded

That's not a good way to prove your point.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.

      Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one.

      See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
