We might just have something special here with Jimmy Clausen

It's a shame that he's not going to be able to show off for as long as 89 is injured with this ankle thing because he literally now has a worse receiving corps that he did at Notre Dame, but I am REALLY starting to like what I see from Clausen. Most of his issues from last week were cleaned up in just one week. He just needs to find a way to have less passes batted down at the line and he could be a Pro Bowl quarterback within a few seasons.

only thing Clausen had done today is stare down just about every single throw.......hard to call the Stewart play great since NO simply didn't even cover him. That is going to get him picked likely on the last drive when we attempt to get into field goal position.

From what I saw today, there's a lot of potential. He was put in an end-of-game situation and showed out. However, there were too many plays where he wasn't on the same page as his receivers (I like the rookie-rookie connection forming though). Tough loss today.

Thats the difference really. If Clausen were like Jake, He makes the play. Instead we don't and we are 0-4.

Please keep in mind that 0-2 belongs to Matt Moore...while if D-Will would have followed the play, Clausen would be 1-1! Playing much better teams than did Matt.

Please don't say we are 0-4 like its all Jimmy's faults because there are some on here that will believe you.

pretty sure he people hating on Clausen weren't watching the game I was, or are expecting miracles out of a rookie QB with a terrible coordinator.

The throw to Gettis was amazing. He got the ball to Jarrett where he needed to, but his clock management was terrible and he has to get the ball out quick and avoid that sack (PS: Our coordinators are idiots and somehow don't expect blitzes from defenses known for them in high pressure situations)

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
