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.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
