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!

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
