The fact that he is even doing this, makes me happy about his progression and development.

Same here... The way I look at it, he's MAKING the throws he's supposed to make regardless of who is defending it. If anything, that's even more encouraging because he's beating guys he should beat easily with the throws.

Sounds like both Clausen and Cam are doing well; which is a good sign for whomever plays. We need to support both.

Also, a lt of people criticize Clausen for checking down to the underneath or flat route or throwing the ball away. To me, it has to be a product of being coached by Charlie Weis at ND. If you look at Brady Quinn and his one main criticism was that he checked down a lot instead of forcing it downfield.

I'm thinking that can't be just a coincidence and it's a product of what Weis teaches/preaches to his QBs'.

Weis was big on two things: 1) getting the ball out fast, and 2) getting the ball in the hands of a playmaker. That might help illuminate why Jimmy checks it down. The problem is, he often holds onto the ball too long... Other times, he bails on plays too easily (last year, no idea how he is doing in practice). He just did not seem to grasp the speed of the game or have any chemistry with his receivers. It already appears a lot of that has changed in training camp, since he's actually looking halfway decent. Remember, last year he was pretty awful in practice... so hopefully he can really improve, regardless of who starts. Having a capable backup is very important in this league, especially when your QB is going to be taking risks on the ground for extra yards like Cam will (which is just who he is, not trying to knock him for it, it's part of what makes him a great competitor).

"Sports CLT" is the person who sent the tweet saying Newton was the best QB out there and would be starting, not Joe Person. I don't think Joe Person has said that Newton is starting; he just recently said he was "Incomplete", so who knows.

A lot of people the last few days have been saying Clausen has looked overall better but only because he doesn't have the same lows that Cam does... He also lacks the same highs. In other words, Cam's consistency is still a work in progress, but he sounds like he is getting better every day. Clausen may start the season (and possibly should, depending on how preseason goes) but it sounds likely Newton will take over a few weeks in if his improvement continues how it has so far.

More people should be talking about Eric Norwood. He's had a great camp.

By the way, I promised I'd tweet from Fan Fest today, but I got hooked into seeing Pirates 4 with my girl in Matthews instead. What a massive mistake that was.

Im sure it was

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
