Universal whine about Clausen thread

[communist]

Sorry let me make it simple

Greg Hardy=Lots of Promise

Charles Johnson=11.5 Sacks

also

Inside push up the middle=0

QB steps up due to no middle presence=completion

We have been able to put pressure on QB's this year but without a true stud DT we can't finish that pressure as you would say. Watch the TB games or tonights game, plenty of times Freeman and Big Ben would feel the heat but all they had to do was step up and the DE's would be out of it.

didnt i say that your complete d-line sucks?

sorry, when i looked up, johnson had 9.5 sacks...now he should have 11.5. i dont know how fast they are on espn...

ok, but u still have a major need on DT...and you wont cover BOTH of them with FA, especially with a deep DT-class...unless you switch to 3-4, but that could be even more complicated for you, couldnt it?

Brown would fit perfectly in a 3-4, he's too small for the 4-3 in my view.

*shakes head* no one knows who the play was called for, but like i said, MANY rookies do that, i am sure Manning did in his rookie year and Luck will too.

yea but manning threw 26 or 28 tds his rookie year, not 2

are you talking about an 3-4 olb?

[MWCarolina]

are you talking about an 3-4 olb?

of course, too small for end, he fits better as a 3-4 LB than a 4-3 end, my only question is can he cover or will he have to cover alot?

i am not questioning Clausen's touchdowns, i am just saying that looking down a reciever in a rookie year is a rookie mistake that every QB makes.

Oh I agree with you about DT .My whole point is that I don't think Carolina is gonna trade out to fix the Dline if Luck is on the board. Also with all honesty if Luck isn't in this draft, trading out will probably be damn near impossible

But it wasn't a receiver, it was a tight end in a 3 WR set. That is just bad QB play, rookie or not.

i agree, cant see them trading out, it's hard enough as it is even with Luck to trade down.

it doesnt have to be a reciever, it can be tight end or running back, i have seen many rookies do this, even Mark Sanchez did this.

I think Bruschi was dead on with the potential aspect. He literally has not improved anything in his game since he first went under center. It's too easy to point out things he's doing wrong in a given game, but the fact that he can't seem to fix any errors throughout the season tells something, he's simply not ready to be a starting QB for us or in the NFL.

[kk4panthers89]

if Luck doesn't declare, which I dont think he will, I think Clausen will continue to develop...if you look statistically, this season mirrors the start of his ND career...bring in AJ Green or a top flight free agent WR, and I think you will see more development...the o-line is terrible, and tons of passes are being dropped...while he hasnt developed as he probably should have, you cannot give up on a rookie after one year, especially when a coaching change is about to be made

i would take Luck first overall, i would avoid Newton first overall, too risky, rather gamble on Jake Locker (who would've been a high pick if he came out last year), Luck though is who they will and should get if he comes out.

You think Newton is a bigger gamble than Locker? Ok I UNDERSTAND now.

[mwright350]

Another one of those things that sucks to hear but is probably true. He truly does look clueless most of the time.

I'm not sure about zero potential either - but he certainly hasn't shown much and he's definitely shown that he's (at the VERY least) not ready to be a starter in this league.

Do they do hand-augmentations yet? Maybe he just needs to go up a palm size...
