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!

    • We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.
    • I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.
    • Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
