Would anyone else feel comfortable with Anderson starting?

i would HATE it, first off, it doesnt help out Clausen and second, he hasnt shown me that he's the best of the three yet. Clausen threw a TD vs. the first team defense, Newton showed poise that i was shocked to see out of a first time NFL starter and Anderson played like himself. he had a TD that was on a short pass, but i wasnt a fan of a play where he almost threw a pick, but in my book, Clausen or Newton should start.

I figure they brought Anderson in because with the lockout the young guys basically have 4-5 weeks to learn the offense. It's likely not enough time to be ready for the regular season.

Look for Anderson to get a bit more work the next 3 weeks to see if he can be a placeholder for a while. If he starts the season and they do badly for 4-5 games, look for him to be relegated to the bench. If he starts the season and the team is winning, look at him to stay there 'til Jimmy or Cam look good enough to dislodge him from the position.

in my book he shouldnt start, he should be the 3rd guy who just teaches the young guys the offense.

    • If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?
    • It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay
    • If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
