Either way, we're hearing that the weekend minicamp wasn't as successful for Clausen as advertised -- and that Moore isn't yet in danger of losing his job.

"The guys on the team believe in [Moore], Steve Smith believes in him . . . and the majority of guys respect him because he's a scrapper, and [coach John] Fox loves him," a source with knowledge of the situation said regarding Moore. (Of course, if that's fully accurate, why pick Clausen?)

We're told that Clausen already has pissed off multiple receivers and at least one tight end by "barking" at them during minicamp practice, and that receiver Steve Smith "basically thinks Jimmy is a punk." Though Clausen is regarded as "smart" and unlikely to make mental mistakes, the initial thinking is that he uses excessive confidence (to the point that it's being perceived by some as arrogance) to compensate for lack of arm strength, size, and overall athleticism.

Meh, I personally would not give that much thought. Any credible source would not be saying jot about how Clausen is doing, let alone saying he is already pissing people off.

I would say that is speculation and building on the pre-draft hype of his character issues. I also do not understand how arrogance can make up for arm strength, size and overall athleticism, so that final remark is completely baseless and pointless.

if thats true then by all means let him sit for a year.

i still like the fact that he is trying to take charge. probably needs to tone it down a notch or two. i'm sure that he is going to be put in his place at some point.

On top of that, Fox "Loves" Moore? Really?

Wouldnt you think if Clausen was that bad as this article depicts at least one local reporter would have written about it? or are all of them just so much in the tank and shut off they had no idea or decided to report how positive it was during mini camp?

Any time you read a piece of information like this, ask yourself who in the organization that would be high enough up to know this would risk telling it to a source like PFT and get away with it? If the answer is seemingly, "nobody", then you probably already have your answer as to its validity.

I doubt Fox, Hurney, Davidson, and Scherer, who are likely the only people right now to know the progress on who has made the best impression, would spill any beans this early before anybody even puts the pads on.

Additionally, we have had several guys at the sessions and nobody has mentioned Clausen getting in anybody's face thus far. Not saying it couldn't happen, but that it hasn't yet.

This is a "media" member speculating what everybody thought was going to happen rather than doing any actual journalistic coverage.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
