I thought Clausen looked good...

Once he settled down he looked like a very promising rookie. The mistakes he made were either from lack of experience or are easily fixable. Don't bench him now an ruin his confidence. We are no where near a playoff team this season, leave him in, get a top 5 pick, kick tail next season with an experienced Clausen. The end.

I am waiting for the dunce who thinks Clausen played poorly to come in here and say "BUT HIS THROWS WEREN'T THE PRETTYFUL!!!!111!11!!!"

I like Clausen's 2nd half. Hopefully, with another week to prepare for another opponent, he can play a full game like he played the second half.

Also, that damn glove reminded me of Carr the whole game. God I hate that glove.

Hope they don't bench him next week he's the future and he needs the experience like Freeman got last year. Games like this will only make him mentally tougher if he's allowed to play no matter what through the ups and downs as a rookie.

Playing for an high draft pick anyway nothing to lose but gain in game experience together with our young QB and our young offensive weapons.

Somewhere someone in the fetal position in their matt moore jersey said to himself....

"Zod is wrong, 9/11 was an inside job"

I think that MM would be considering himself fortunate to leave. Today just confirmed that it was not him, but something bigger.

Just think about this, today was Jimmy's turn, to come out and surprise the Bengals because of a lack of film on him.(Remember that Matt had this advantage in his first game) Now the Saints have something to work with. Let us all hope that Davidson has some tricks in his bag to help Clausen out next week.

Once the change was made, then there is no going back. Fox played his trump card and now he has to live with it. He wanted a spark and well, this is the result.

Go Jimmy, you have my support!

Completely agree 100%. It is promising and something to look forward to seeing more of in the future. Looked like the game slowed down for him. Then again, look how the guy on the other side of the field played. Palmer is a former pro bowl QB who could get nothing done. As soon as I saw the field today I knew it wasn't going to be good for passing.

I had been saying all week not to expect much against a really nice Bengals passing defense when they have the best CB tandem in the game right now.

In the previous weeks I saw a Matt Moore get worse as the game went on and I saw Jimmy Clausen improve the more he played. Leave him in there and let us build chemistry now.

Zod has earned my first pie!

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
