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?

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
