Via Twitter...

A lot of interest in Clausen: Limited arm talent, small in the pocket, poor throwing mechanics, needs functional space in pocket to deliver.

QB w/limited passing skill sets need lot of team (run game, defense, sp teams) to have any success. He didn't have that.

Would help to have some context to know what he means by "a lot of interest" (guessing he means him personally; pretty sure he's not talking trade).

See, what I find weird about that is...

Didn't Gruden say (along with 99% of analysts) that Jimmy Clausen had the best mechanics of anyone in the draft last year? Their knocks on him were about his character... not his arm. :confused:

This is kinda my problem with everyone piling on as well.

Most of the "tv scouts" had him rated much higher than he went, and almost everyone thought that he would be at worst a good starter in the league.

I still can't figure out what happened.

and a lot of people have talked about how comical the Gruden "QB sessions" are b/c he is far from a QB guru.

Gotta always remember that lots of "expert analysts" have their reasons to endorse or knock players.....and a lot have no clue what they are even talking about.

I want to see what he can do with a real staff.

still think if you want to see what Clausen has to offer he has to have a change in a WCO. His skill set just makes him a doormat in the offense's Carolina is running.

he won't see the field much and he shouldn't see it if the only point of it is to help drive up his stock.

best and most realistic chance for us to get the most value is some desperate team (of which there are a few) looking for a QB who thinks/hopes that he has a lot more potential than last year would cause you to believe.

the more time he sits on the bench, regardless of coaching, the less valuable he becomes.

i just want to see what some other team is interested in offering up for him.

not sure he's going to get to show anything here this or any year he's in carolina.

Has Cam now been elevated to Superhuman that has a built in Morphine drip that will allow him to never feel pain, therefore he will never be injured! Awesome! Take that Jamarcus Russell!

be lucky to get a 5th or 6th rounder for Clausen.

I would imagine if he is as horrible as some report he was in practice last year this upcoming camp......kid might just not make the cut.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By strato · Posted

      I agree.  I don’t think I have ever been accused of being a Howell fan. No more than fan of some other random QB.   But I watched and I saw. He has some talent. Maybe I didn’t watch close enough to see his weaknesses.

      We signed Lloyd

      By strato · Posted

      He is a pit bull when it comes to that.  And after he missed out last year on Williams, it seems he is trying a different approach, looks like. Don’t hold back. No half measures, because someone will come and full measure your ass. Close the deal. He left a little opening for The Patriots last year.  He closed so far this year. Of what we know about.

      Steelers sign RB Rico Dowdle

      By strato · Posted

      They have been doing the mercenary one year RB now for a little while. Foreman..  It works pretty well. You can find ball carriers. The passing game trips a lot of those guys up. Pass blocking, route running, they have a lot to know.    Rico wasn’t a great pass blocker but he got in the way most of the time. He is a really good pass catcher.     He’s tough. Needs to find out why he was cramping late in the games. If he can fix that maybe can step up even more. Wish him luck. I think he’ll do well.    If Brooks can be something, what a bonus that would be at this point.  I really believe they went for him because of his extra layer with being a good receiver. And we need more of that with what we are working with trying to move the ball.
