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 can't speak to the sample size on the double ACL tears, I could look into it but I am unsure about the quality of data I am able to find. Anecdotally, I don't think that is common for sure.  Well one giant red flag for Dobbins is that of the 3-5 serious injuries he has had in his NFL career, 100% of them have been the same leg. That's not good and it doesn't bode well for his longevity at all. As I have said several hundred times in this forum(in this case it will be in regards to Thomas Davis), outliers are memorable for a reason....because they are outliers. You don't base your decision making on outliers. That's.....stupid. I am also not high on Etienne but he does play special teams and Brooks does not. Currently, I couldn't blame anyone in the FO for choosing a 3rd string RB that can play special teams and has actually played more than 23 career snaps in the NFL in 2+ seasons.  I am not advocating for cutting Brooks but I don't think it's a player I would consider for anything other than a 3rd string role(and likely competing for it, at that) if I am building a roster for 2026. It's not like they are going to get to see him at 100% in 2026.

      I'm not going to argue against black helmets, but love our silver helmets. No one has anything similar. If you took all the logos off all 32 team's helmets, you could pick out our helmet easy.
