Jimmy Clausen.

Sure, it ain't all you Jimmy. Your talent sucks around you and your coach isn't doing you any favors throwing you out to start in this mess. But the QB is always going to take a tad more blame than they deserve.

8 passing yards in a half though is 8 passing yards in half. Oh wee.

Sure, there are others out there, blindly screaming the praises of their legendary hero, Matt Moore, but only one is able to stand strong, and push all the blame on Clausen for every mistake during the course of the game, only to turn around and discover that the team fails to make plays when his hero comes in and throws 2 picks.

I got some free tickets and actually got to attend this game. We had seats way up in the 500 level, but it was nice to be able to see everybody on the field.

Obviously we've got a ton of issues on offense right now, but Clausen just wasn't going through his reads. I would see wide-open receivers that Clausen just wasn't. Or he'd scramble out and put himself into a position where he couldn't throw across his body to the wide-open receiver.

He'll learn, I hope, but it was frustrating seeing some of these guys (primarily David Gettis) wide-ass open and not getting passes thrown their way.

First, I am just having some fun.

Second, everything doesn't have to be Jimmy vs. Moore. Matt Moore was Oh Wee Mayne Player of the Week for week 1. This is Jimmy's turn. He earned it.

as for LaFell, he was 2nd in my voting.

Clausen looked horrible today guys. Come on...go ahead and blame Davidson, Fox, Lafell, the Line...hell, why not blame the Bears for being for damn rough huh?

He overthrew, underthrew, and missed guys all day. He can't move his feet to save his life, and he stares holes through Gettis...and still misses.

I said he can be good, but........he didn't prove me right today.

I think it all starts with the coaching staff.

You can't even begin to fix the problems on this team until you address the coaching.

The play calling sets every QB in our system up to fail-whether it's Jake, Matt, or Jimmy.

Our offense has just gotten so predictable, teams know when we're going to pass, so they send the house.

considering the number of yards he lost on sacks, saying he had 8 yards is a little deceptive. most of the sacks were not his fault at all.

edit: either way, he sucked it up today. I just wish he was alone in that.

true. We can give him full credit. He had 2 completions. One for 2 yards. One for 13. That is 15 yards.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
