Jimmy Clausen will always be a preseason tease, reg-season disappointment. Poor man's Jeff George. Big arm, low intangibles, bad decisions.

he had more to say on first take this morning, but I won't bother going through it. He he's been pooing on Jimmy since he was at ND. for the record, Skip is a The Golden Calf of Bristol slurper...:lol:

Skip is a bit controversial but for the most part he is right on. Of course he misses on things just like anyone else but when it comes to evaluating players or even predicting games he's pretty good.

I am hoping that hes wrong but it just seems like we cant ever hit on a QB or WR other than smitty and moose...

However, Clause looked very poised in his first game as a pro

One of the things that always makes me chuckle is when a national guy making a criticism gets his facts flipped around.

Clausen's positive is a big arm? Eeehhhh, no. Arm strength is a question mark.

Intangibles and decision making are weak points? Again, no. Both of those are bigger positives than his arm strength.

If that post had been written about Hunter Cantwell, it would have made sense. Clausen? Not so much.

I guess if Skip were evaluating DeShaun Foster, he'd say that he isn't a very good outside runner, but he protects the ball well :sosp:

Intangibles and attitude I think are why he fell.

On paper, Clausen has it all for the most part. He made some real heads up plays for his first live action though.

A bit controversial? That's kind of like saying we dropped a couple of big firecrackers on Japan to end WWII.

I don't see a Jeff George comparison at all. Some people questioned Clausen's arm strength coming into the draft. All Jeff George had was a BIG arm.

Intangibles, I don't think so. Attitude, maybe, but a lot of that apparently came from the segment he filmed with Jon Gruden. People made way too much of that.

A lot of the really vehement Clausen hate I've seen has come from people who would hate a friendly little puppy if it was wearing a Notre Dame logo.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      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.
