For the most part, players always compliment each other. They're not reliable source. None of them spoke up last year to say that Jimmy Clausen is garbage, therefore I do not take their opinions too seriously.

Wrong. His own teammates weren't defending him in the media and didn't have anything good to say about him besides he tried hard... Just ask Smitty.

This isn't just "awww, he's pretty good. he's trying to be good and that's what matters." No, they are saying his performance is indicating he's special.

SN: And not making this about Jimmy. TBH, I was going to make a thread about him because I'm really impressed with how he's handled things. After the first TD throw, he was the first one to run out and dap Cam up. I love seeing that. Props to Jimmy.

Another thing, Cam said after the game that he is still learning and understanding that this isn't college anymore. I can't wait to see him really get used to seeing these NFL defenses. Imagine in a couple years when we have the whole offense completely installed and perfected and Cam is comfortable enough to call audibles pre-snap. Oh man.

Matthews was talking junk to Cam the entire game. I can't repeat some of the things he said. Cam kept cool and didn't even look at him, not giving him the satisfaction. I was impressed, apparently so was Matthews.

I'm glad you were there for the first hand accounts between Cam and Clay. TBH, I was hoping someone would cut block the sh*t out of Clay during the game b/c I could tell he was talking non-stop sh*t to Cam.

I'm sure you picked up the exchange when Clay chased him out of bounds in the 4th for no gain... You could see Cam was smiling and thought it was gonna be a friendly exchange after the play and then Clay looked back at him, said something, and then Cam stopped smiling, turned away from him and went back to the huddle... Meanwhile, Clay kept talking.

I also didn't appreciate the celebration after Clay wrapped him up from behind on the scramble on 4th down where he pointed at him on the ground.

I was really hoping someone would f*ck Clay up, and I've actually liked him from afar until today.

Regardless, I expect guys to be competitive and talk smack, but he seemed like it was personal during the game... So, I was surprised to see him say anything good about him.

Trash talk is a part of the game. I'm sure our guys are giving it as well. Steve Smith is probably the best example... guy never seems to shut up.

"I knew he would be good, but if I told you I knew he'd be this good this early, I'd be lying to you," said Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji, who had one of four sacks of Newton. "He doesn't get frustrated. We threw a lot of stuff at him today and he was able to sit back there and make some of the plays they needed."

It's a part of every game. It's not a matter of getting your feelings hurt, I just always approached competition by letting my game speak for itself... So, sometimes I get pissed off when people are making plays and talking sh*t non-stop. I appreciate mutual respect more than sh*t talk. Unless it is someone talking sh*t on our side (like Smitty) lol...

Yeah it's part of the game. Clay was nowhere near as bad as Dockett. I didn't see Clay give Cam anything extra on the ground like Dockett did.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
