I have seen some compare Clausen to Aikman...

I need to find this to clarify what exactly the topic was on, but a friend of mine told me about ESPN Today Football Podcast that discussed Fox and Co's ability to coach QBs and said they were one of the worst at doing so..

that, playcalling, and it being a rookie QB are a lot of reasons why you all can't be serious to scrap a QB after last year..

Something said on ESPN that people around here won't have much trouble agreeing with.

then that would mean Moore should be brought back to start.

b/c if Fox and Co are THAT bad....Moore had some great moments over his short Carolina career under Fox.

well a lot about ESPN is wrong.. but not everything. They do have Beadle and Van Pelt... ;)

that would be correct.. and you can look to playcalling as evidence they weren't on top of their game..

Delhomme wasn't exactly a product of Fox's coaching..

Maybe, but do we know what limits were placed on him? Everybody seems POed that he would dump off so much. Maybe Fox/Davidson didn't trust the rookie so directed him to 1 read, not there, dump short. That sounds like the conservative type of thing they would do.

I'm certain they did. Unless Clausen lost the ability to scan the field then i think the coaching staff designed lock on plays for him.

By the end of the season they had opened up the playbook but it didn't make much difference

We will find out in the next 2 years

The one thing I noticed with Clausen, is when he can roll out he is a lot more comfortable, sets his feet and throws the ball with authority.

Unfortunately didn't see that much, whether by design or accident.

Who knows. I guess we are were we are. Time will tell.

Fox, is that you?

I kid.. ;)

Because our offense was run-based deep play action pass, I personally find it hard to think they would tell him to dump off but that's just my opinion.

I didn't say dump off.

If you watched his early games most of the pass plays were such that he was looking at a receiver from the beginning. Some short passes some long whatever.

If you watched his late games he tried to scan a bit more then dumped it off because he couldn't find the open guy.

I think the staff rarely told him just to dump it off. NFL doesn't work that way.

We are 90% of the way to the obvious conclusion that he is done. Call it whatever you want.

he either will or won't.. most QBs don't make it.. you can make an educated guess, but you shouldn't come up with that conclusion because he sucked this year.. for reasons I've stated..
