Part of the reason Clausen is falling IMO

I still don't see how he blamed the WR.

He said we had play x on and I called an audible. He kept the original route, there must have been a miscommunication between us.

Where in that does he say it was the WRs fault?

If that's the perception people are getting, then it doesn't matter. How GM's Coaches and scouts perceive said actions is what matters.

It may not have been a major deal, but if a team that was thinking about drafting him was torn between him and another player, that could have been what was needed to tip things out of his favor.

There was more to it than that though... Gruden asked him if the WR got the audible and he said "yeah, he got it but kept on going..." He threw the guy under the bus...

I don't buy into the whole Clausen hype. I don't believe he proved much of anything in college and he got a lot of publicity because he was Notre Dame's quaterback.

He has all the components to be a good NFL caliber QB but that doesn't always necessarily mean much (ie: Ryan Leaf). Brees has proved that system of thought pretty much useless anyways.

He seems like just another Brady Quinn to me.

    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season? 
    • Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in. 
    • JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
