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 really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
