Clausen's maturity

I think it should be noted how mature he has been through this whole process. It seems like he is hell bent on getting better and establishing himself as a player on this team. Whether or not that actually happens IDK..but his attitude has been very impressive throughout. It can't be easy to have everyone clammoring for a new QB. Even though I'm not a big Clausen fan, I admire his attitude thus far and IMO shows that he is capable of being a player...mentally. I'm not sure about his ability physically.

I dunno. Over the season, I could never tell if he was mature enough "not to let it get to him" or not mature enough to take up the mantle of leadership and get angry enough to fix something...

I mean, I have no evidence he has even thought about football over the last few weeks so I can't really say much about his maturity in that regard. *shrug*

edit: I mean, yeah, he didn't look emotional or very beaten in press conferences which is a good thing considering how terrible he was. But he did seem disconnected somehow, which has me concerned.

His footwork and throwing motion are just as bad or worse then some QBs coming into the Draft this year. That what Im worried about not his maturity.

This. This this this this this.

...then again, it's not like his intangibles have me leaping out of my seat to defend him, either. There are some guys who are clear leaders, who inspire, like (as much as I am not a fan) The Golden Calf of Bristol. Clausen is not one of those guys right now.

Is there a guy in the draft that has a Big arm and accuracy? If you find him let me know cause thats who I want as my QB. Clausen has accuracy and can put the ball spot on but he tends to side arm the ball when moving in the pocket and that makes for bad days. His deep ball is suspect also. IMO he would be better suited for the WCO.

Gabbert and Mallett both fit that bill according to scouts.

It will depend on the QBs coach that comes in, will he be good enough to help him adapt to the NFL game, since clearly nobody was helping him last year.

I really just hope whoever our coaching staff is...they give up on rookies after one year. Then we will have one hell of a team in 20-30 years....maybe.

I thought both of them had spotty accuracy? I like Gabbert's ability to move in the pocket but I think he should be just as much of a first overall pick as Newton. Really I would not be upset with Gabbert, Mallett, or Newton but just not as a first pick.

Gabbert and Mallett both have pretty good accuracy on both short and long balls and both have experience throwing a ton of 'em.

Does anyone else see Ryan Leaf when they look at Mallett?

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      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.
