I have a feeling you have barely watched Clausen and know next to nothing about him on and off the field. |
I think Quinn's lack of accuracy is a fair point when comparing him to Clausen. However, it doesn't necessarily bolster the argument that playing in Charlie Weis's pro-style offense guarantees success anymore than playing in a spread offense guarantees failure.
After watching the two highlight videos someone posted on here a while back I initially raised concerns about his throwing motion and his leaving the pocket prematurely to roll out to the right. As the Clausen debate raged on I decided to check out a couple more highlight videos on the internet and saw basically the same thing.
Anyone who wants to pull those two highlight videos up and watch them will see what I saw. That doesn't mean that he won't be a successful quarterback in the NFL but I think those concerns are both legitimate questions based on observation.
Maybe you can view those videos and show me the error of my ways or ease my mind. If not, you can have all the "feeling" you want but unless you are willing to address those concerns directly you probably shouldn't be making implications, IMHO.
