Anyone Still Want to Defend Clausen?

I don't think anyone is solely blaming Clausen. Hell I'm a Moore guy and I don't solely blame Clausen. However you can't deny that Jimmy is playing scared out there. Moore could at least chuck it down field and convert 3rd and long. Jimmy has played OK. His check down self was good enough to win last week but it was blatantly obvious today that he gives up on the play too soon.

Moore and Clausen have both made bonehead interception but Moore will at least excite you with some big plays down field and a Steve Smith performance of 70yds or more. I'm not trying to hate on Jimmy too much I know he's a rookie but you cannot deny that he's afraid to go down field.

I'm still waiting for anyone to give a reason to be optimistic about clausen that doesn't revolve around the opposite side "must not having watched the games"

He is a rookie so he still has years to improve. That's about the only positive I got.

Not in the NFL he doesn't. Clausen will be gone from the NFL by next year at the latest. Never to be spoken of in NFL areas again. He sucks worse than any QB I ever remember.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
