just a little tough love baby! i think hes right about that play. i think gruden is a jimmy fan.
You had to have known that Gruden wasnt going to put on a ball-washing 'QB camp'. He was going to tell those QB's things that other ppl wont. the unpopular things, that would piss some ppl off.
Gruden was much worse on Colt McCoy. He made fun of his accent....
I saw it as constructive criticism, and although Colt looked to be surprised by it, I thought Colt McCoy heard what he said. I thought Colt McCoy had the best session with Gruden, I have a bigger appreciation for McCoy then I did before I watched the clip.
(dont get me wrong, he is still the #3 qb in the draft)
His answer about earning the respect of his senior lineman (while he was a freshman) was a home-run answer, awesome.
.....I saw this and was wondering why it was necessary to show Clausen's UNC performance?
The UNC play was pre-syracuse '09. that was the old Jimmy Clausen. I didnt see Gruden pick apart anything Clausen did post-syracuse '09. Going back a year and half to find something to pick a part is pretty damn good. In the clip Gruden eludes to JC that he is 'light years' ahead in the X's and O's game. Thats a direct comment about his 'pro style' experience.
MY reaction to each:
(just my opinions, nothing else)
Tebow - He talked to Tebow like he was a HS freshman QB trying to make varisty.
McCoy - He talked to McCoy as if Colt is on schedule, and needs to continue his progress.
Bradford - He talked to Bradford like is was a rookie starting QB in the NFL
Clausen - He talked to Clausen like he was a 3-year starter in the NFL.
(respecting coaches, respecting the game, coaching policy, being accountable for ALL things that happen on the field, even the stuff that isnt his fault)
