Pike....errrrr......St.Pierre has to be a upgrade for Steve Smith (1 Viewer)

[gradin123]

So far this year Steve Smith numbers with Clausen at QB have been horrible. In the 4 games where Clausen saw the most snaps at QB, Steve Smith has 89 yards combined and no td's.

In the 4 games where Moore saw the most snaps Smith has 276 yards and 2 td's.

As a Smith owner St. Pierre can't be worse than Clausen. He simply put can't be worse for Steve Smith than Clausen has been. Granted St.Pierre is a complete unknown but The Ravens pass D is actually very suspect these days and I feel better with a guy off the streets than Clausen.

My projection for Smith this week with St.Pierre

8 catches for 96 yards and 1 TD

 

[gpthatsme]

CAR does have the easiest SOS for WRs the rest of the way. Don't know if that helps any, but at least it something positive.

 

[Football Jones]

I believe Clausen is going to be a good NFL QB. He made progress last week & he'll continue to get better & better.

He's a rookie. Rookie QBs will struggle, especially on a poor team (except Bradford, who has incredible talent & is on a better team). Give him time. Pike simply doesn't have enough talent to be an NFL starter, IMO.

 

[Jerry Lawler]

Completely agree that Smith is a great player and Clausen sucks. However, we've used the logic "anybody will be better than (insert crappy QB here)" for Steve Smith too many times already. Didn't work with Delhomme, Moore, and Carr, and it probably won't work when Clausen is out. Carolina needs to get some coaches who know how to develop a young QB because they've wasted most of Steve Smith's career.

Tony Pike isn't good. I'd be shocked if Steve Smith will be a viable starter for a fantasy team this year with Pike. I know he wasn't doing anything with Clausen in there, but Pike is a big drop off than Clausen.

 

[Boone22]

Brian St. Pierre and rookie Tony Pike split first-team quarterback reps at Panthers practice on Wednesday.

Pike is going to start against Baltimore, but the Panthers are trying to get St. Pierre up to speed quickly, indicating that the rookie probably won't be on a long leash. A 31-year-old journeyman, St. Pierre appears to be ahead of "slash" rookie Armanti Edwards on the depth chart. It's a nightmare situation for the Panthers, but by now we presume they're used to that.

Smith was actually good with Moore, and before Delhomme lost it Smith had a 1500 yd season with him.

What on Earth has he done to give you any indication that he will be anything other than average? He consistently overthrows, he doesnt know the plays, he is skittish in the pocket and he continues to make the wtf throws. Nothing I saw of him at ND gives me any warm and fuzzy feelings. Hopefully the panthers lose out and are in a position to draft Luck. Clausen is horrible and what you say about Bradford is not close to true. The running backs are better on the Panthers, they have a better line and an all pro wr. Their defense was decent until last week. St louis doesnt have any receivers, a horrible line and the defense gives up a lot of points. Bradford is light years ahead of Clausen and I think it is laughable that people were comparing them to see who would be better before the draft. Only Mel Kiper thought that Clausen would be anything and he has a vested interest in Clausen so that doesnt count.

Bottomline Jimmy C. is the second coming of Joey Harrington.

Totally agreed. So far this season has been a tale of two seasons for Steve Smith. With Moore and with Clausen. The difference in the numbers is eye popping. With Moore, Smith would be on pace for 1104 yards and 8 td's over the course of 16 games.

With Clausen, his pace would be 356 yards and No Td's

I don't think Clausen will ever be a good NFL QB but that being put aside he had absolutely no rapport with Steve Smith. Matt Moore is far from a good NFL QB either but Smith has posted good numbers with him.

Anybody would be better than Clausen for Steve Smith's numbers. St Pierre would be better too.

That's impossible. Clausen is rock bottom for Steve Smith and you can't get lower than rock bottom. Pike probably is not a NFL QB longterm but I have researched him a bit and he is a guy who has overacheived his whole career. You know the Ravens aren't going to know what to expect from him and will play the run heavily. I actually wouldn't be surprised at all to see Pike post somewhat decent numbers this week because The Ravens D is vastly overrated this year. They gave up over 500 yards to Buffalo.

Huh? I didn't compare Clausen to Bradford. I was simply saying how people expect too much from rookie QBs, but Bradford is the exception because of his rare talent.Anyway, I think my assessment of Clausen is accurate & I believe he'll be a good NFL QB. That said, he shouldn't be starting right now, but they really have no choice. He'll progress at his own pace. Some QBs develop faster than others for no apparent reason.

In the end, I think you're going to be very surprised at how productive Clausen will be when he gets some experience & settles down a bit. Give him time.

BTW, I believe 2010 will go down as an outstanding year for QBs. Bradford, Tebow, McCoy, Skelton, & Clausen (ranked in that order), all of whom will eventually be quality starters, IMO, are quite a talented group. In fact, much more so than the overrated group coming out in 2011.

\I am asking you what are you basing this on? It surely is not this year and he only had one "good" year at ND. There is nothing I see in Jimmy that says he can be a NFL qb. He is joey harrington.

 

[otis68]

I dropped Smith. Shallow league, have to win every week to make playoffs, and I'd need to see it several weeks in a row before I'd trust him. Rather fill my bench with #2s and 3s with great QBs and matchups rather than suffer through more crappy weeks with smith.

Clausen is terrible. I am hoping Pike does enough to never see Clausen at QB again.

 

[Jason Wood]

I don't think that just because Player A sucks we should assume Player B is an improvement for his supporting cast. Listening to my main men Cec and Sigmund, Pike is a guy that should consider himself lucky to be on an NFL roster much less starting a game.

 

[pantherclub]

I am thinking that the Panthers starting qb in 2011 is either (hopefully) Luck or Locker.

 

[Sweet Love]

I am thinking that the Panthers starting qb in 2011 is either (hopefully) Luck or Locker.

Would be interesting. No doubt now that there will be a new HC and GM (I kind of thought that if they put up a run this year, they would be OK). Too bad, b/c Fox is not a bad coach, and Hurney has a nice eye for talent except when it comes to WR and drafting QBs (he did bring in Delhomme). They should have brought in a Fassel-type to work with these guys this year, but too late for that.

They're right, he's mediocre even at being mediocre.

 

[Bri]

Ravens are going to demolish St Pierre or Pike. At least if they put Armanti in, he'd run around and entertain the fans.

 

[Dave Larkin]

I don't know if you watched any of the game last week, but Clausen played a lot better and looked a lot more composed than in previous weeks. I'm not ready to write him off yet. It's tough to play in the NFL for young quarterbacks. We give other positions time; why not quarterbacks too? Clausen, by all right, shouldn't even be playing this soon. It's been such an injury riddled season for us that we've had no choice but to put him in.

As for Pike, I'm not sure he's an upgrade. Smith will have his catches, but I don't expect any downfield big plays.

I know Clausen looked shaky earlier, but he really has little to work with. They have no TE gameplan (which is always a nice outlet for a young QB) and the RBs have been a revolving door. I understand Smith is better than anything the Browns have (for example) at WR, but sometimes two mediocre WRs are better than one good one and one terrible one. The whole world knows where Clausen is going when he drops back, and it has less to do with his reliance on Smith, than the actual gameplan's reliance on him.

 

[Bri]

I understand the experience angle but if Couch and Carr taught us anything, getting crushed by Raven defenders every other play and intercepted every third is not going to do much of anything but wreck their confidence

Clausen looked shaky for 2 out of 3 years at ND. Most people that watch football and have seen Clausen play in college and now the pros will say that the kid is not an NFL qb. Its that simple. There is a reason he fell like a rock in the draft.

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

Clausen still has a huge ways to go to prove he is going to be an everyday reliable starter in this league but he should not be given up on just yet.

Clausen has just turned 22 years of age, and has been in one of the worst possible situations a rookie qb could be in. Clausen was not ready to play this year, and would have been better off taking a year or 2 to learn behind someone else.

After being forced into action too early he has no running game to rely on and his O Line has been awful all year. He also only has 1 reliable target on his team and that target is getting doubled all the time.

It is still to early to give up on Clausen, and he should be held accountable as much as his team because his play has not been good, but let us not write him off just yet.

The Steelers always liked him. He just never got on the field. He performed well in his pre-season time I believe. He was just behind good QBs I guess.

 

[njherdfan]

I don't really understand why you'd start St. Pierre over Pike. At least see if you might have something with Pike, no? It's not like they're going to be respectable this season anyway, and it's doubtful St. Pierre will be there next season

Steve Smith is no better than a WR5 at this point. I think we'll all be very lucky if St Pierre can get him back to even the respectability of a WR3.

How could St. Pierre possibly be ready? He's only been with the team for 6 days.BTW, there were reports last week that St. Pierre had been signed to Carolina's Practice Squad, but I'm not sure how that's possible since he'd already served on Practice Squads in 3 previous seasons (which is the max allowed by the NFL). Does anyone know the exact wording of the Practice Squad rules??

Ravens pass D is 13th in yards/game, 6th in pass TD given up, 9th in yards/catch, and 18th in catches allowed. That's above average I'd say and I think they've played better since Reed returned to the line-up.

 

[nysportsfan]

I have no confidence in any QB they throw out there, given the offense as a whole. I was offered SMith for my Gaffney and turned it down.

I think Smitty has lost a step. And if he hasn't, it's a damn shame to see him wasted there.

They gave up over 500 yards to Buffalo. Their pass stats were top of the league after 4 weeks thanks largely to the teams they played and game situation. They played the Steelers without Big Ben, they played the Browns and saw Hillis run all over them so Cleveland didn't pass much. They played the Jets who obviously are a run first team and they played Cincy and Cincy won the game and Cincy never passes a lot until they get down which they never were.Since week 4 they gave up 314 to Orton, 292 to Brady, 382 to Fitzpatrick, 316 to Ryan and 231 to Henne(their only decent game since Week 4)

Depends on the player and the conversation, they're good at not commenting on someone they don't know about and giving way to the other guy.I don't see it with Claussen and didn't in college. I thought Pike and Armanti were better.

Yeah it's different facing that line supposedly blocking for a sitting duck QB but also the Ravens are the 7th rated D averaging an INT and two sacks per week. Not a stretch to project improved FP for them.

hmm might hold smith one more week and see how this st pierre thing goes, but im on the verge of dumping him for a rb lottery ticket.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

I'm sure St. Pierre throwing the ball will suddenly make Jeff King catch the ball. Clausen had a decent game last week and many of his incompletions were the fault of his receivers. I guess Fox is trying anything to save his job. Won't work and it is doing the team a disservice. The only upside is that Clausen doesn't have to face Baltimore. Maybe he'll come back the following week.
