Sam has already been better than Clausen on the field.

Jimmy got us a the #1 pick in the draft, a franchise QB, and a new coaching staff. 

After just three NFL starts and being pulled in week 5, Clausen was benched after completing 47 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions. Clausen also fumbled seven times, losing two, and had a 52.2 passer rating. Clausen finished the 2010 season with 157 completions out of 299 attempts (52.5%), 1,558 yards with 3 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He was sacked 33 times and fumbled 9 times, losing two.^[43]

What is Sam going to get us??

 

Sam is better than Clausen. Not enough better to matter but he is better than Clausen.

Sam is more of the Weinke/Peete class of Panthers QB.

We will be very lucky if Sam does for us half of what Jimmy did. Ie #1 pick and franchise QB for the next decade.
 

Sam has already cost us more than Jimmy did so it’s not looking great at the moment…

Man, you know Jimmy Clausen was just the worst when everyone can agree Darnold is definitely better lol

I'd probably have to check out the season if we had a Clausen-level QB.  I can't believe we even won a game with him.

Clausen and Sam are two different kinds of horrible IMO.  Jimmy brought a consistency you could count on.  The O would be no threat.  Ever.  

Sam can an have odd game here or there and has physical ability.  You can’t count on him even to properly suck.

Darnold is who you want if you want a top ten or five pick.  Clausen is who you want if you absolutely need to get the #1 overall pick.

I should know, considering he blew the Jets chances at getting Trevor Lawrence.

Sadly, it means high draft picks for the Jets and Jaguars. We're picking No. 1 and then waiting til the fourth round, right? Unless we trade down (which we will) for a couple second-round picks.

The #1 overall pick for a couple 2nds? What?

Exactly.  Clausen last year easily goes 0-16 for the Jets.  And would have done it if even the front office wasn’t trying to set them up to fail. 

Sam is always going to let you down.  You want him to get the pick you want? Well, he is going to win a couple random games just because.

In Sams defense he has scored 12 TDs in 6 games where Jimmy scored 2 in 10 games.

Sam has also won 3 games out of 6 where Jimmy won 1 out of 10. The other victory that year was Matt Moore’s against SF.

Not saying he is good, just saying not Clausen bad.

Clausen also didn't turn the ball over nearly as much. They both fail to score points, though, which is why we can't win when they're out there. Clausen had the benefit of a respectable coach, albeit one who'd mailed it in even more than his players at that point. Darnold has the PJ Walker of coaches.

I have always thought, and will continue to think until proven otherwise, that Zach Wilson in a Jimmy Clausen clone.
