Not feeling sorry for a guy who has managed to make millions as a backup QB in the NFL.

 

He's getting more than vet min?    I like the dude.........I hope he can succeed somewhere........   but wtf would anyone look at what he has produced on the field in either spot duty or in his role as full time starter,  and decide to pay him more than the vet min?

How did he end up with Baltimore anyway? I know he lost that game starting for Chicago in Seattle.. no surprise if Fox booted him though, I'm sure that was a flashback to 2010 that nobody wanted

The Bears started him against the Seahawks and expected a miracle.       Clausen is a short pass thrower that went against a short pass,  swarming defense.......and the outcome was what it was expected to be (expected by nearly everyone).      

 

I wonder if his game against the Seahawks today will spell the end of him,  in Baltimore?

I feel bad for him, and hope he can do something. He isnt great, not good and maybe not even fair...but something needs to be said about his start in the NFL. We threw him into a nearly impossible situation with an O-Line that leaks like a net holds water, a personality like 89 all up in his grill, and a coach who just didnt give a damn as he was on the way out..

 

Not that any of that explains away a lack of talent, but his growth was stunted from the start.

He has made millions over his short career so far....did not say he was making millions per season.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
