Does anyone trust Fox/Davidson/Scherer w/ Claussen

I know there's a bunch of folks wanting Clausen to start but do you really trust these guys with him. Yes, Ryan and Flaco are examples of rookies succeeding their first year but they are the exception - not the rule.

No doubt Moore looks a bit overwhelmed right now and Clausen is here to take over. I just don't have enough faith the current coaching staff to believe they can develop him properly. After all, look at what Davidson/Scherer did in Cleavland and what Fox has done without Henning/McCoy. Do you really want that team of coaches "developing" Clausen. Does anyone remember Weinke or Carr? Don't think it couldn't happen again.

no, but the staff will be dismantled next year so let's just hope they don't *** him up too bad.
agreed.

he just needs to have time with those players on the field to develop chemistry for down the road. it will help make any adjustments to the offense easier to handle, imo.

i don't see the new offense being much different than this one, though...at least it's still going to be run focused for the foreseeable future. when you have a new QB starting out you do that. it's obviously the this teams greatest strength anyway. fox/davidson being gone doesn't change that.

it would be nice for Clausen to sit and get a year under his belt before we throw him in with live bullets.. especially with the team looking as it has thus far..

but he could use the experience, I guess, with the lockout coming..

there is a side of me that is excited to watch Pickles play...

My concern is, is it really worth the risk? If they do start him and turn him into Weinke 2.0, then we are screwed for a couple of years - regardless of who the next coach is. And for what, maybe a couple of more wins in a throw-away season!

If they do start him, I hope they at least wait until after the bye as that would start him against the 49's and Rams instead of the Bengals and Saints. It would also give the coaches a little extra time to work on the offensive line and receivers.

If I were going to start Clausen, I would wait for Otah to come back and for Dude to move in to RG, if that is what they intend to do. Not fair, but you can't spend 2 QBs waiting for the OL to start producing.

Moore needs stablity--play calling, protection, route running, job security--he has not had this.

As a leader, he should step up, but maybe he senses that this is Clausen's team, and he is only biding time. With the recent veteran turnover, he knows he is not the QB of the future--He knows that they would not pay him good $$ with Clausen ready to perform. I feel sorry for him. His line is inferior (right side), his OC is inferior, his WRs are inferior, and he is expected to get results. NFL doesn't work that way. He is set up to fail, so don't be surprised when that happens. If I were Minnesota or a team like them, I would jump all over him in free agency.

We have a very good group of QBs in the NFC South. Clausen will have to step up for us to keep up.

    • Happy Thanksgiving y’all. Thankful for a very good team and for this group to talk canes.  Eat drink celebrate our win bs the rags. This team is cup ready. 
    • I don't think should be seen as an insult, legitimately. Teddy's floor was consistently a good game manager to his ceiling of border-line top 10 QB who's arm strength didn't blow you away but could make all the throws and generally made good decisions and had some sneaky athleticism.  Teddy started on quite a few teams. He had a good start to his career, had a horrific injury that could have ended his career, came back and played himself into being a starter, got a contract here (and subsequently became another victim of Tepper's impetuousness), and then started games for a few other teams. Teddy could have been a franchise QB had he not suffered a freak injury, and then he just never ended up in another stable situation. He still had a good NFL career that could have been great without that injury. Teddy before that injury did look like a franchise QB, and I dont think that's a bad comp for Young nor an insult in terms of what his career could be based on that comparison.
    • Absolutely the wrong take. We have to run and gun. We have zero post presence. We just have to make shots. We just can't hit water from a boat tonight and we're turning it over to boot. Then you have a poor shooting opponent shooting lights out.  Looks like a long season ahead of us though if Hubert doesn't adapt to this roster. We have to play a pressure trapping D and get out in transition because we aren't beating anyone in the half court.
