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!

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
