The reason why he hasn't shown up on-field is the biggest shock of all.

He was drafted for his athleticism, and then it turned out that he couldn't handle the physical demands of having to run all the time as a receiver/returner.

Ironic, eh? :sosp:

He may work himself into NFL shape next season. That's what they have to hope for, I suppose.

Then when he learns not to gas after 2 routes, he will have to handled getting hit.

I remember that one play in pre season where he was hit and he skid back like 5-6 yards.

early in the season I feared it would slow his development at WR to put him in at QB.

But now? Hell, this season is ruined, we won't know what we have from AE at receiver this season anyway.

Right now, this team needs a spark. It's not even about winning, just about being competitive, and frankly, Clausen is not competitive.

It's funny really. He was drafted because he was a playmaker...just like the many other guys in last year's Draft. We knew the transition to WR would take time, even though he came in out of shape. Yet here we are at 1-12, and they still don't put him out there. There's a good reason for it too. Don't believe the Apptards, the kid just doesn't have it. Feel free to quote this and call me out on it at any time next season.

He was drafted to be our Devin Hester.

Sadly, right now, he'd need improvement just to be our Leon Washington.

Both Hester and Leon were conditoned to running frequently while in college.

Edwards was a QB, allbeit a running one, but nontheless there is a much bigger transtion athletically that Edwards has/had to get over.

The most comparable player I can think of that had been succesfull is Antwaan randle el.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
