Clausen should start against the Titans...

Not really, but wouldn't this move make sense? I'm in the Matt Moore bandwagon camp, but wouldn't letting Jimmy play with the 'big boys' let us see what (if anything) we have for the season. We already know what Matt can do with the number ones, so give the kid a chance.

Anyone agree?

Point #2: We've heard enough about our ST problems, and I don't want to start a new thread about that, but...

In a situation that matters (for example, fourth quarter, 5:00 left, like against the Bills last year) why don't we have Smith return the punts? I understand why he's not back there for all of them, but why not for the important ones?

And, the making fun of me can begin now.

Once again coming from a Clausen fan I can't stand when people post completely misleading and/or fabricated thread titles. It's attention whoredom at its worst.

That said, Steve Smith would be a good punt returner except that he would be worth the 15 yard penalty for a backup specials teams guy to take out of the game on a fair catch.

Moore is going to be our starter so he needs to get the reps with the ones to get in sync with them. If MM's timing with the receivers was nearly perfect in the first two games I would understand your point some what. That obviously isn't the case though. The More times MM throws to a guy in preseason the less time it takes for him to get on the same page in the regular season.

There are two ways Clausen will start this season:

1. We lock up a first-round-bye by week 14, and the last two games we rest starters.

2. Moore tanks, are 4-6 by week 11, and he suddenly has a mystery injury.

I think you'd have to add a (3) for a bad record after week 5, with week 6 as our bye week.

      A Quarterback in this mold is and was always going to take a long time to develop. I think he still has quite a bit to go.  We didn't draft him for his foot speed or arm talent. We drafted him to be the leader and commander of the offensive unit. and he is growing in that capacity on a weekly basis. Being smart and being able to make the correct adjustment and get your team into the right play and being able to get the ball to the right spot is the most important thing an NFL quarterback can do. You can scheme around it, you can simplify, you can try everything, but those skills make a dominant NFL quarterback more than anything else. More than anything else, that's what the Montana's, Brady's, and Manning's do. And those are the ones you want. What we are seeing with Mahomes is a guy that has the brains, unique arm talent, and above average foot speed. He may go down as the greatest. I don't see that in Bryce's future.  He's got a long way to go, but he's showing he's capable of being that game managing, offense controlling guy. While that type of quarterback is the most dominant, it also takes the longest to get them game ready, and if they don't ever get to a dominant level, they often don't pan out. So it is a risk.

      This is fake news as Trump would say. Nobody’s comparing seasons the nfl pundits ESPN first take si.com and other outlets are stating what we’re saying in this thread it looks like he’s regressing. Now to address your statement their leading their division ummm have you seen their defensive rankings compared to ours. You’re cherry picking which you can’t do with me I’m not a poster who’s here to argue I like thoughtful in depth convos. They have the 4th ranked defense put that in Carolina don’t you think we’d probably lead our division this year realistically. With the offense you’ve seen the last four weeks being average let’s just say with a 4th ranked defense how’d do you think we’d look or how many more wins would we have? You can’t say oh but they still lead their division knock it off it’s bc they have a terrible division and an elite defense. CJ is dealing with issues Bryce dealt with bad Oline and he has weapons but they’ve missed time and when out he’s looked below average having multiple 2pick games, the man’s had a 4 sack game followed by a 8 I repeat 8 sack game that’s a bad Oline leaving him to regress so Panther Bryce fans can’t pipe down we’re just stating facts bc yes they’re winning with a elite defense give a little more context to your statements it Matters!
