Anyone Still Want to Defend Clausen?

lol

I think anyone with any sense of objectivity can see Clausen has shown improvement from the start of the season..

against NO: higher ypa, no interceptions, actually threw a TD pass

sorry about your post

what are you seeing.

What has he improved on since his first start? how about 3 examples of areas he has improved.

lol he won't respond because there aren't any areas

step away from the stats and pay attention to the actual game..

Jimmy plays worse than his stats.....and his stats are bad.

I asked you to give a couple examples. Examples of the areas he has improved in don't require stat talk.

For him, improvement would be throwing a touchdown pass. Something he has done once in 5 starts and 3 other games in which he has seen playing time this year. People like to make the Josh Freeman and Tampa Bay comparison. Hell, even he threw 10 touchdowns last year in the 10 games he played. Peyton Manning (another QB people refer to as having a bad rookie season) threw 26 TDs in 1998. Weinke threw 11 TDs.

Clausen has been pathetic by all historical standards and he has none of the intangibles that show me he can be a successful QB. He apparently has never learned how to step up in the pocket despite having played the position for several years and being "groomed" to be an NFL QB. He bails on a play way too early and is completely unimaginative on the field.

yep, as a rookie Chris Weinke threw TDs in 9 games and had a couple of multi TD games. He threw for over 200 yards 6 times.

Clausen makes Chris Weinke look good.

Different Team,

Different Offensive Cooridinator,

Bad Comparison.

bad team. bad rookie QB.

Clausen is light years away from what a horrible Chris Weinke was able to do. I don't think the comparison is that bad.....the offenses just aren't the same. You can still compare what two rookies were able to do as rookies......and Clausen makes Weinke look good.

Why does everyone expect him to come in and light it up? Throwing the ball away is better than throwing a pick. he does need to let it rip a little more often I mean we are 1-11. It's not like we have a lot to lose. But give the kid a break we have issues when he's not in the game!

No one does. No one has ever claimed he should do that. No one has ever claimed he shouldn't make mistakes just about every game.

He is just horrible. That is not acceptable. Not when you show nothing for people to at least have faith in him to develop into something downt he road.

    • 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)
