Clifford is what he is. He’s not getting any better next year. All his returning does is stall QB development for a year. Unless there is an open competition, which will not happen.
I think Clifford is a pretty good QB - well above average. Has a very live arm and can make plays with his legs. He needs to use his head on throws like he missed at end of half - doesn't need a perfect throw when your receiver is that open.... put some air under it and let your receiver adjust to it. Threw that ball too flat and hard.... just needs to use his head there. He definitely needs to work on his consistency in terms of accuracy as well, but overall I somewhat disagree, he has the tools and seasoning to really put it together next year imho.
