Confirmed: $$Steal of the draft = Jimmy Clausen

Not all pics are the QBs fault. Sure they count, but that was not his point-you twisted his point so you could be a smart ass. That makes you a dick. If you think that was Clausen's fault, hang him. I didn't see it that way. Clausen did well. If you didn't see positives, you are the idiot.

My point is, last week everyone was criticizing Charles Godfrey, and saying because his picks were tipped that they didn't matter, or were less significant. So I used that same logic with Clausen. pure sarcasm, but if you can't see that he was effective when he was called upon, and moved down the field, then you didn't watch the game.

at least he gave me something to cheer about. He actually moved us down the field. If we could of punched it in the game would have been more interesting, but we still would have lost. Anyway Jimmy in one series completed more passes that moore the whole game, that's sad. So with the qb's we have available Jimmy is what we should work with.

clausen is better than moore. he provided a spark to the team. it's not his fault the OC is playing the third string running back in the fourth quarter as we're trying to make a comeback.

clausen should have been given starting reps in OTA's, training camp, and preseason and he'd be at least as good as bradford. but he wasn't. he'll need 3-5 games to get as much experience as bradford now has.

why are we of the mindset that rookies absolutely must not start? there are a few as of late that have been doing well.

clausen was pro ready, he just needed the time with the first team. he didn't get it. that time was given to an untouted, undrafted 3rd string QB who moved up through the ranks by those in front of him falling to injuries and being traded away. simple as that.

time to make the move for good. give him the rest of the season because there is no chance we're making the playoffs. we drafted clausen for a reason. at this point, what do we have to gain by waiting? wouldn't it be better for him to start next season with 14 starts under his belt or start next season with no starts because we continue to stick with other QB's who are well past the point of needing to be pulled?

    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
