Andrew Luck vs. Jimmy Clausen

I don't personally think any realistic team takes a QB with their top pick two drafts in a row, unless the first one died before the following draft. I will say what I always do, I have no idea how anyone can watch this season and think we weren't young enough in the passing game.

I been watching game footage on Luck so that I could develop an opinion on him. Holly crap! Call it hype if you want this kid is really smart. It honestly looks like he is playing on a level higher than every one else. If you watch him play you will see what I mean.

Like it or not every other team in our division has a franchise QB. As of right now playing a rookie WR at QB is starting to look like a viable option for us. Clausen hasn't even proven the ability to be mediocre. For the record Mallet looks decent. I never liked Locker. If we get a shot at a Healthy Luck we would be crazy not to pick him up.

We need a Franchise QB. screw all this wait and see if so and so develops. Spend the other 9 picks on linemen and let em all battle it out in camp for all I care.

Weren't we high on Locker just before that!?

The real question is what we do if Luck doesn't come out!

That solves the problem for you IF Luck comes out you take him no brainer, but if not then i think you stick with and try to develop Clausen, and then take AJ Green or trade down for multiple picks!

I'd normally agree, but we're also going to be going through regime change here. New coach may not think Clausen is the guy. And unlike Yasinskas, I don't agree that being able to develop Clausen is necessarily a condition for getting the head coaching job.

And yeah, Clausen was our top pick, but still a second rounder with a second round contract. I could see him being traded to a WCO team for whatever they could get.

Realistically though, that scenario's still a little far out, but I'd say the chances of it happening go way up if Jim Harbaugh gets the job. If it's one of the other guys (Grimm, Zimmer, Frazier, etc) then I wouldn't bet on it as much.

While Luck has a lot of potential to be a very good NFL QB, IF Hurney is still the GM, then the magic phrase to become the new HC could be "I can make Jimmy a great QB" (pattY).

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
