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.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
