How does Jimmy Clausen feel today?

I was just wondering after Cam's start how does Jimmy feel? Pretty sure he feels like he will probably never get the chance to start here now. Do you think he is happy the pressure is off of him? Maybe he is thinking about how can he get released so that he can get another shot to start somewhere else? Or maybe he is thinking this backup thing isn't so bad and maybe I can do this for another 6 years then Coach at ND. What do you guys think?

Rodgers had to sit behind Farve for awhile. He wasn't ready right away. Most rookies aren't. Newton is a rare breed. That isn't to say Jimmy can't be a solid quarterback but we don't have the system or patience that a guy like he needs. He will find a home somewhere with a better setup suited for him.

Jimmy is actually in a great situation right now. He wasn't ready to play in the NFL last year and now he gets time to sit and learn. If the Panthers get a chance to showcase him at some point to increase his value (if he has improved), they could get back some value for him. Will he play this year? VERY unlikely. Anderson is the backup and Newton by all accounts bought himself 15 more starts with that debut performance.

Someone will take a chance on Jimmy, as long as he keeps working hard to improve he will get his shot elsewhere.

I'm thinking Jimmy is feeling much like he has felt through this whole process. If he is smart, he might actually learn something.

Just because he isn't THE guy, why is there a need to trash on him? You can't say the guy didn't try, so why the constant desire to try to belittle him at every step...

      Or just don't be an ass and hang out in the left lane. Just use common courtesy. The people who tailgate and be an ass are no better and its not a surprise that a lot of road rage incidents occur when inconsiderate people and assholes cross paths. Just make an effort not to be either. "Not allowing the bully to bully you" is also being an inconsiderate ass to the people behind the "bully" who would also like you to GTFO of the left lane.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      It was completely disgusting and the most obvious fix I’ve ever witnessed. Deflating. It’s probably gone on for decades but high def TV has truly outed the egregious ‘officiating’. When was the last time a small market team was allowed to win a SB?  Offensive holding is it, and it’s so predictable. 2nd and 7 turns in to 2nd and 17. Defense pins their ears back, covers the slot guy and TE roaming the middle, and watches for the WR/RB screen. D line needs to maintain gap integrity. The deep shot to the WR down the sideline is a low percentage play so no real worry there. Most average O lines won’t be able to convert.  Loser getting too close to FG range in a close game? Holding. Winner needs a short field? Holding. DCs love them some obvious passing downs. Narrows down the playbook and significantly puts the odds in their favor. Put a team in 2nd/3rd and long all day and they are NOT going to win that game. It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of the relationship of holding calls and game outcomes.  This is where having skill position people that can go yard on any given play is so valuable.

      It can still be enjoyable.  I don't think the players are in on it.  I mean, I think they probably understand the "business" but they are trying.  So it's fun to watch them.  But I admit I'm not even close to emotionally invested as I was before the SB50.  It also just happens it's usually on a Sunday and I don't have much going on anyway.  I really think it's just one head ref that can push a game the way he wants it from instructions from the man upstairs.  Why else do they keep bad refs?   I don't think it always works out when they try to push the game though but more often than not it works.  Sometimes a team can beat the refs and the opposing team but it's rare.
