I'd love a win, but no Clausen heroics to leave lingering doubts heading into offseason about his future as our QB. I know that one decent game wouldn't overshadow a season of suck, but why play around with the notion...

man screw that. If Clausen can win us the game, hells yeah, I hope he does. There is no way he can play well enough to make me question taking Luck, so let him play well. If nothing else, he'll make a good stopgap until Luck is ready for the NFL, or increase his value as trade bait, if he improves.

I did put Goodson in front of him. He would be #4 if DWill was not on IR. Sharing some twitter time with Sutton :D

Sweet.

I want the win. If not the win, I want their starters limping into the postseason.

We're playing the role of the '08 Saints, the Falcons of '08 us, and the Saints, the '08 Falcons. I hope the outcome is different than it was in week 17 of '08.

Okay, I'll buy into the trade bait thing, but a stopgap for Luck? We need a veteran for that job, who can also mentor the young QB.

True, we didn't have one of those for Jimmy, but oh well.

you get a veteran no matter who our young QB is next year... be it clausen, newton, luck, or.. mallet...

that does not mean the veteran starts. I see a very likely opening day roster of clausen, rookie qb, veteran qb, with Clausen starting and giving way as the season goes on to the rookie (sooner or later depending on his play)

You guys are hilarious. For once, let us unite in our hatred of the Failclowns. You just gained a mass of fans, and there would be no sweeter way to end the regular season than to see the Falcons lose to your Panthers. Well, and to see our Saints beat TB for the division, but let's just stick to what we have in common.

Go Panthers!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
