Had a nice game. He had an INT that was about 50% his fault and held the ball too long a couple of times, but he looked much improved.

Cam hugger or not (I am), gotta give some love to Jimmy tonight.

Also, can "fans" please stop fuging booing their team during a fuging preseason game? Thanks.

i liked Jimmy's game tonight, he threw one bad pick 6, but rebounded. i know people say he held on the ball too long and he did, but i think he was waiting for a WR to get open, so i dont hate that like many do as long as he doesnt do it all the time. it was a decent game, not bad, not great and the same for Cam, except, he looked VERY poise, something i was shocked to see.

Jimmy looks like the same QB however he got the ball out of his hands a lot quicker. Holding on to the ball a little longer is ok if you have that 6th sense like pocket presence, however Jimmy doesn't seem to have that yet. If he keeps improving and actually throws a deep completion or 2, I won't shoot up heroin if I hear he is starting in the regular season.

agree with everything the OP said. Held the ball too long a few times, that pick was him and Dwills fault. Looked like the unfamiliarity of the offense kinda showed on that play lol, besides that he did some good things out there...

Credit where it's due - the kid played miles better than I thought he would. I still don't think he looked like the better QB out there tonight but he wasn't as far behind as I thought he'd be.

Made a few nice throws - may end up being a serviceable NFL QB somewhere one of these days.

Clausen did well... compared to last season. To me, he looked like a solid filler until Newton is ready.

Newton looked like a rookie. He has stuff to work on, but I liked his attitude while on the field.

I think Jimmy wins as far as performance, but Newton looked like he handled the pressure better.

Jimmy looked much better than last season...but he 100% holds on to the ball wayyyy to long. That second sack by J. Pierre Paul, it felt like Jimmy held onto the ball forever. Constantly rolled out to the right most of the night, just doesnt feel comfortable in teh pocket. Cam on the other hand had a few terrible passes into the ground, but he stepped up in the pocket and didnt roll out or even once. He looked as comfortable as i have ever seen a rookie look. But he did look like a rookie...I'm very excited for his play moving forward.

Olsen is the MAN! that is all...

jimmy clausen is who we thought he was a practice player and a lost gamer. how you people can still root for him is beyond me

I tend to root for the players on my favorite team, how you can root against a player on your team is beyond me.

Acknowledging good things someone did is not "rooting" for them. Dramatization and failing to give credit might be a sign that you are a hater.

      Jonathan Brooks parts of Joe Person Athletic article dec 8

      This is where I'm at. Dowdle is a feel good story and glad he's proving his doubters wrong. I just don't see how we keep our OL intact (which is the right move) and spend on another RB after giving Chuba his money. Though the odds are against him, I do think Brooks can still be our RB2 next year..and if he stays healthy, our longterm RB1. Having the full offseason with no pressure to try and come back like last year will help. I'm also happy to see he and TD have been connecting.  If this team is smart, they go into next year with Chuba/Brooks/ETN and sign a Dowdle-light version in FA at minimum cost. Chuba is in his prime and a full offseason to fully recharge will only benefit him more. Dowdle is unfortunately a luxury item I don't think we can spend our money on. We still have other areas of need that we have to improve on the defensive side of the ball.

      so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      last time they loaded the box, shut down the run and forced BY9 to beat them, we saw the result of that. So what can we do this time to beat them? I suspect it's going to require a lot of short / intermediate passes with TE play to help

      Floyd Mayweather Jr. made hundreds of millions off realizing this. He was an exciting boxer in his early days but watching his dad and uncle struggle with the effects of taking thousands of punches to the head he realized he was skilled enough to good guys without putting himself at risk and he'd just wait for other elite guys to lose a step before facing them. The whole WWE-esque "Money" persona was built around the realization that it doesn't matter if they're watching to see you win or watching hoping you'll lose, all that matters is that they're watching. Force them to love you or hate you, just make sure they care enough to tune in. We had a similar situation with Cam. Everyone felt some kinda way about Cam. You couldn't find many NFL fans who were neutral on Cam Newton. Is was love or hate but either way it was must see TV.
