Clausen going camping


stirs

Recommended Posts

I'd like to think  when Jay Cutler inevitably gets yet another booboo Jimmy'll do well with Marshall, Jeffery, and Forte. He's a Smart kid nd like it or not he was a rookie in a tough situation when we played him. Hard to say if he'd improve or not i when we drafted Cam. He's been nothing but professional. I wish him the best.

Look at the ppl giving JC some tiny bit of respect and well wishes after shitting on him for the past 2 years.

 

Too late for most of you. You dont get to come off as decent NOW when you threw the kid in the gutter, called him trash, made comments about his mother giving birth to him..etc. Very FEW if ANY of those commenting in the past day or so acted as a voice of reason when he was being skewered and thrown to the wolves.

 

Get your pie for making the obligitory comment about him having a second chance, but know that its bullshit that some of us remember.

Jimmy is terrible with actual defenders in his face, we'll see how "impressed" they are come preseason.

Cam Newton, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, & God Almighty himself would be terrible with the amount of pressure Clausen had in his face.

He isn't much of a QB but he was never given a fair chance. He was ruined by Fox as a rookie. The guy was always professional, worked hard, & seemed like a nice guy.

No reason to bash him. Unless it's just misplaced anger that he gets to make hundreds of thousands of dollars to hold a clipboard & watch NFL games, then drive his Porsche to his expensive home & nail his smoking hot, gorgeous wife.

No. NFL quarterbacks are not shaky in the pocket when defenders are moving around them, Clausen had one of the worst rookie QB seasons ever. Anytime he saw pressure or even saw a defender near him he would throw the ball away or force it. As an NFL QUARTERBACK YOU HAVE TO HANDLE PRESSURE. Cam has made perfect passes in the pocket under pressure, he's at his BEST when blitzed.

I have defended Jimmy as Cam's stable goat on more than one occasion, but him showing up at ND signing day with his 4 state championship rings can't be unseen.  Wish him well but................he will always be a douche.  And just in case douche is an unallowed word...it rhymes with swoosh.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
