Clausen not rolling over on being the starter

[Razzy]

He gets a chance like everyone else.

Clausen will be traded before week 1

[Ricky Spanish]

that's cute, he thinks he can play with the big boys

[rayzor]

i hope he does enough in TC and preseason to garner legit interest in him.

i don't want him to start in a regular season with the sole rationale being to boost his trade value. imo, it isn't worth newton not getting the starts if he has a solid grasp on the playbook.

[jasonluckydog]

as much as I have invested in Jimmy I need him to do well to make some $$$$

The reality is the backup is one injury away from starting and the last few years should tell us that we almost always need more than one QB starter to make it through the season. Smart fans should be hoping Clausen improves a bunch this year especially if he ends up starting at some point. And our history would suggest he will.

You guys are so mean.

Good, competition breeds excellence.

Everyone on the roster should feel like they are competing for their job every snap, this didn't happen enough under Fox.

For what?

this.

rosters under fox have been hand picked before OTAs/training camp ever begins.

Like I've said before, I really hope JC betters himself and becomes a starter.

I really wanted him to do well his rookie season, but it didn't happen. Now that Cam is here, I would much rather Cam succeed and be our franchise guy than JC.

I do however hope we hold onto JC, much like the eagles with Kolb. We should groom him, keep working with him, and have him be a solid back up for Cam. That, or he is a insurance policy in the event Cam doesn't pan out, or Cam gets hurt.

And if JC shows he has the ability to be a starter, we could eventually, down the road, perhaps get a 1st round pick from a team with a need.

The seahawks have supposedly offered a 1st rounder to the eagles for Kolb.

So who knows, maybe JC ends up being a major success. I certainly hope so.

"A quarterback who is willing to fire away is called a gunslinger. Clausen was a holster."

I agree that he will get way better over time, maybe starter material for another team in the future. Keep him and let him mature into something worth trading.

Sorensen's best line was when he implied Clausen was a pocket passer and could not "make something out of nothing" during a broken play like Cam Newton can/will. Cam will provide much more instant gratification, which will please the fans...for a while.

[Hairless Cat]

you have no idea what cam is going to do

no one does
