The Pro Clausen Thread....

David Carr showed flashes now and then, Jimmy never did. If he had been a sixth round pick from North Dakota State and played like that nobody would ever defend him. But because he's a name guy people hold out hope. When you watch the tape and really break down his play it's obvious he's just not an NFL quarterback; not mentally, not physically, not in any way. What's the best play he ever made? The under thrown duck to a wide open Stewart for his first TD against the Saints? The sideline throw to LaFell that set up Kasay's miss against the Browns? Either way, when you think about it, you could count his really good plays on one hand.

what Carr did 6 years ago means nothing. He is much worse now than when he was a rookie. Point remains, you can be utter crap....and find a job as a NFL QB. Look at what Delhomme was paid to go to Clev......and was done after Tommy John. Look what Denver gave up for Brady Quinn.....

Clausen will hang around the NFL in some form for a couple years.

over the summer some friends and i played flag football at the beach, we were one guy short from having 5 on 5. A buddy noticed Jimmy walking towards us and he goes hey guys, mind if I play I see you need one more?

Too bad we didn't have enough to play. Weather was freakin perf.

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
