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?

    • Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?
    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
