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.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
