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)

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
