Jimmy Chicken Poo Clausen

Boy am I starting to lose respect for this guy. I know he's a rookie but jesus christ he looks like David Carr out there. He's totally afraid to go down field. 3rd and 17 and he tosses it to Rosario for 3 yds gimme a break. Mike Goodson is the only reason he's looked half way decent the pass few weeks. It's acceptable to check down like that for the your first few games but come on this is getting pathetic. I refuse to believe that Smith, Gettis, and LaFell are shut down every pass. He's hesitant as a mofo. Reminds of that douche bag QB in the replacements.

Don't give me the offensive line crap. They suck, I know they suck, they have sucked all season and other QB's have pulled better performances with less continuity.

No QB has really looked better, but Jesus, one TD in 240 passes is Ryan Leaf numbers. Only 5 INTs in 8 starts isn't bad, but wow. He refuses to throw into the end zone.

Brian St. Pierre came off the couch and threw the same amount of TD passes as Clausen has in 8 games.

Jimmy isn't playing the QB position very well right now, but it is immpossible to judge this kid off of his performance this year. This OL is horrible. Absolutely horrible.

If Luck comes out and we draft him, it helps 0, absolutely nothing. If anything it will just ruin two young QB's in consecutive years.

The OL needs to be fixed before this team can be competitive again. Jimmy is probably not the future, but any young QB that we bring in here with this OL is going to be ruined.

True. It's Clausen's fault he didn't have one there. He didn't want it badly enough, was too willing to give it up and Sutton of course couldn't do it. Why not throw to LaFell like he had all drive?

It's just infuriating to see him get so close and refuse to throw TD passes. That's the only thing you can say, he refuses to throw touchdown passes.

You most definitely can judge Clausen this year. His tools, his grit, his smarts, his potential. You can judge little things in the game without judging the game as a whole. He has yet to show me ONE tool that will help make him a successful NFL QB.

I agree wholeheartedly that Clausen has not looked very good this year, and has not shown anything that would lead one to believe that he could be the future.

However, he is a rookie QB starting behind what may be one of the worst OL's to ever play in the NFL. That first half was embarassing at best. So I just find it hard to say that "He will never be any good". He definetly needs a change of scheme.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
