Here's a new Jimmy C question for you

Last year, the knock on Clausen was that he was a prima donna and something of a jerk who would throw his teammates under the bus in a heartbeat.

It seems like everyone has their own personal favorite thing to complain about, but has anything like this been an issue at any time in the past season?

Most of the attacks on this message board are unwarranted imo. People here cant seem to take everything into account, including things not seen on the field, and after last season around here it's: "anybody but Peppers, Fox or Clausen because they have exposed my inner feminine and we just cant stand to lose and i want to win now"(in a baby/dumb bitch voice).

More than that I think it was his ability to lead that was in question

A QB that finger-points a receiver will never make it in this league.

Sometimes it is subtly implied that a finger is pointed, unless a QB goes the extra mile to make sure it isn't. I'm talking a QB patting his own chest and mouthing "my fault", even when a missed catch is clearly on the receiver too. A QB that inspires confidence in players by going on camera and dissolving blame from a struggling receiver is going to get more out of ALL of his teammates.

Jimmy seemed to come close to this clairvoyance a few times, I expect it'll improve.

Jimmy need's another shot next season, I can't remember him throwing anyone under the bus, maybe he did but I never saw anything about it. Give him a fair shake with a healthy oline and then we'll see.

I'm fine giving him anther shot...but he needs to develop on the sidelines at least for a year before getting it.

    • If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.
    • We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.
    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
