With Moore Gone, Clausen to Shine.

I will probably get bashed for this but here goes. I believe Clausen will be a bit better now that the pressure of Matt Moore is gone. He can accept that this is his team now for the rest of the season without worrying about losing his job. The rest of the team will have to accept Clausen as their qb as well. This will lead to better team chemistry and thus better productivity.

I really thought that Moore was going to be the long term answer here. But sadly I think his career in Carolina, and probably the NFL is over. After all, who wants to take a shot on an uproven QB coming off a throwing arm injury?

I couldn't pull for Clausen before, because I wanted Moore to get his fair shake and have a season to prove himself.

But with Moore's fate sealed, I am now 100% behind Clausen, and hope he does well for us, and maybe can solidify himself as a starter for us.

I hope Fox at least lets Clausen play more than a game or two in a row regardless of how he plays. We need to see if he can actually play or not. I know 100 people will say he can't play based on a few games as a rookie seeing how they are experts and all, but we need to see what he can do.

we don't even know if Clausen even has the job this week. Clausen has already been benched twice this year for 2 different QBs.

whoever they toss back there to take the snaps...i'll be pulling for them to do well. they're both wearing the same uniform.

Ditto I absolutely hated Clausen for three years being a USC fan but if he's the starter on Sunday then at 12:55 I'll be cheering like crazy for him and hoping he lights it up....

it made a lot of sense. Pretty sure at that point Foxy knew Moore was done.

He wasnt referring to Moore being replaced by Clausen because of Moores injury. He was talking about why would they bench Clausen for Pike. Rookies have to go through their learning pains. Peyton Manning didnt have a good year his rookie season. The season is already lost why not keep playing Clausen, Pike isnt going to solve anything Clausen cant.

I'm pretty sure CRA meant that putting in Pike was a good move because the game was already lost and at this point we aren't sure if we have a QB that can lead the team. Why not give the other rookie a chance and see if he fairs any better. At least that's what I took from it....

Clausen has to play every snap knowing if he makes a mistake Fox will pull him, and that's not conducive to helping a guy's confidence, nor is lining up behind the garbage OL we trot out.

He's made plenty of mistakes without getting pulled. He made numerous mistakes for four straight weeks without getting pulled. There's nothing wrong with evaluating both rookie QB's in a game that's completely lost already....

      My fantasy team...I'm going all-in

      And for those curious to see a more complete picture: If CMC can't go (which he probably will, as I heard they're just being overly cautious), then I will move Chuba into the dedicated RB slot and will indeed begin my season with T-Mac and X playing. Keep pounding all the way.

      They already were down rice, when Worthy went down and you're relying on old ass kelci and juju and a run game that looks weak as hell you're going to have a bad time. I still won't be surprised at all when they're in the super bowl in February. Philly is going to stomp them next week though

      My fantasy team...I'm going all-in

      By TD alt · Posted

      My fantasy league is named Any Given Sunday. It's a Yahoo friends and family league that's existed since 2008. There's no money involved, just bragging rights. The participants love it, and we love mixing it up and talking sh¡t to one another. I've won the trophy five times (and almost a close sixth), so they love beating me (and seeing me win, oddly). I'm on a four year drought though. So this year I kinda said, "fug it, I'm going all-in on my guys." Amid that, I did something that I never do and went RBs one, two and three, with the critical---some would say the "crazy" move being Chuba at three. So now I'm light on receivers. But, I was ultimately able to get my guys. Dave Canales is already talking crazy talk, suggesting that he's not going to let Chuba run wild in so many words (so I learned in the other thread). I bristle at that. I'm giving Bryce a lotta faith by extension. He's on the wire (but I may as well have played him for all Dakota did the other night). I obviously believe in Tetairoa. He could be my WR1 (other than Scary Terry). I picked up X late, and I'm hoping that he will make the league hate that I did because it was kinda disrespectful for him to be drafted in the 12th round if you ask me. As for JT Sanders, I picked him up as an aside because as we all know, the pickings at TE are slim (especially when you have to try and build a complete team after taking three RBs so early). I hope that Sanders comes through, then I might be looking good.  So, yeah, I kinda went all-in. If there was ever a time for our offense to come alive, I need them to do it this season.  Bryce needs to continue on his ascension from the end of last season, and Canales needs to let Chuba run the damned rock. We have insurance in Rico (as do I), so let Chuba do his thing. If our offense doesn't work this season, then we're just fùcked, and so am I most likely. But I have faith. Now let me go move Golden back to W/T spot. I have faith in X, but no so much that I'm playing him over Golden tomorrow.
