Does anyone trust Fox/Davidson/Scherer w/ Claussen

[jpo287]

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.

Nope, I honestly don't.

But I am willing to be pleasantly surprized. I'm concerned about the same thing as well as his maturity level.

The bad part is, I know Fox knows this kid has this problem and if it is indeed his last year here, how much is he going to care to groom him the right way?

[The Saltman]

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...

I trust them about as much as I would trust Tommy Jone with him.

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.

I never trusted Scherer in the first place for what he did with Quinn and Anderson in Cleveland. The mere fact that we looked to Cleveland to get both our Offensive Coordinator and QB coach tells me not to trust Fox with staffing decisions on offense.

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.

I say start him now. What if there is no football next year? Then he doesn't get game time until 2012, then it would be 2013 until he's "experienced".

[mj4life]

let's see quinn and anderson have done what since both are no longer coached by scherer(nothing), why because they can't play(has nothing to do with playing to soon or coaching), they just stink period!!!!!!

moore needs to learn to read defenses and get rid of the ball
