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!

    • So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo. 
    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
