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?

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
