Clausen - Personal Beef with Smitty Affecting His Play?/Overall Improvement?

[PantherProfessor]

he needs to put in a phone call to Jake. He made a living off terrible throws to 89, just heave it and leave it, smitty will do the rest.

maybe a crate of cactus coolers would smooth things over? :skep:

the number show he completes normally 50 something % of his passes for about 160-170 yards or so. Generally with an INT.

what steady improvement are you talking about in the #'s?

Not including the first game against Tampa

when He came in at the end of the game

Completion percentage per game. First four games, three were under 50%, since then all have been above 50%.

48%

52%

Average yards per catch

Three of first four games under 3 ypc. Last 5 games, 5 or more ypc in four out of the five games..

First two games, six fumbles, since then 1.

like I said in the post you quoted....50 something %.

Jimmy's first 3 starts (w/ little run support).

-He averaged 131 passing yards a game.

- with 2 INTs

-1 TD

Jimmy's last 3 starts (w/ what has been a great ground attack)

-He averaged 136 passing yards a game.

-with 2 INTs

- 1 TD

Pretty similar production from the pass game IMO

[Davidson Deac II]

8 starts total

First four, lower percentage of passes completed for fewer ypc. Last four, higher percentage of passes completed with higher ypc. Passing game has been more efficient. Still not great, but obviously better.

I'd be willing to give Matt Moore the same pass as Clausen. And that's not saying either one of them are excused because I think both have the potential to and should play better than they have. I also thought Fox threw Clausen in there pre-maturely. You think back to the beginning of the season, DeAngelo and Jonathan looked like high schoolers out there because they had no where to run. And that lies on the offensive line.

But if a team is able to shut down our run like every team did until lately, we're in trouble no matter who is under center.

I don't think they deserve a pass either. Both get paid to perform, bottom line. I just find it funny how Clausen gets excuses but Moore simply sucked.

my comment was he just hasn't shown steady improvement.

He has brought the same amount of production in the passing game now as he did at the beginning on the season. Numbers are almost identical in production from him.
