Perspective: The day in review

[TheOracle]

Tom Brady threw 4 picks, less than 400 yards (386), and lost.

Andy Dalton threw 2 picks, similar passing yards to Cam, 0tds, looked smaller than the room, only scored 8 points, and lost.

Drew Brees won, but he threw 2 picks.

Gabbert looked decent for his first start.

Cam Newton had a rough day, was wild passing early on, but still managed to complete 53% of his passes, barely cross 1,000 yards in his first 3 games, and get the win.

In other words, all these QBs are human. Cam was bound to have a bad game sooner or later, and for how bad he was for most of the game, the two he's been mentioned in the same sentence with the most this season (Brady & Dalton) also had off games, so the storyline tomorrow will probably be "off games" for many QBs, instead of just "Cam falls back to earth".

Good day, overall.

What's funny is that, statistically speaking, Cam's off-day was better than Clausen's best game last season against Arizona.

You know what's sad? Clausen is 1-0 against arizona... just saying.

What I don't get is why do people keep putting clausen down, he's not even suiting up anymore. Leave the kid alone.

because he is not good.

SO Oracle you are done venting in the game day thread I see.Valid points, all qbs have bad games. We can't expect 300+ passing yards every game.

Which is why I keep asking why they don't move Clausen (practice squad or whatever) and get a player in a position of need that will actually see the field every week.

So what if he doesn't suit up...you don't need to defend "the kid" he is a grown man, a professional. We can make fun of him if we choose to.

I'm putting things in perspective. People were congratulating Clausen last season after that game saying he finally proved he could be the long-term answer for this team. That was his best game of the season and it was worse than Cam's worst game so far. I basically want people to shut up about how Cam played poorly today. Yes, he played poorly for most of the game, but he still ended up having a good game overall with a 4th quarter comeback W.

I'll reserve the same right to defend "the kid" from douche bags that keep bringing up how much he sucks when this was last year and he isn't even relevant anymore. It's pathetic and sad to clown on a guy that's not even seeing the field.

[Sam Mills Fan]

I'm not even a Clausen hater. Again, just putting things into perspective as to how amazing Cam has been this year.

I dont think that Cam had a 'bad' game today, just a realistic one. He made enough plays today when it mattered for us to win. He probably should have thrown an INT or 2, but he didnt.

I think he was having problems with the weather, just like most of the other QBs you mentioned.

Other than you saying that Cam "was bound to have a bad game", I agree with your post.

His throws in the 1st Quarter were terrible. If they were playing the Packers or Bears, he'd have been picked at some point. Just because it was against a lowly Jaguars team that didn't take advantage of his mistakes, doesn't he didn't make them.

He had a bad game, and one that was unexpected, since he didn't even get to 200 yards passing. He was bound to have a bad game sooner or later, but he was sailing the ball off of his back foot way too much. Win = good, but regression = bad. He regressed mechanically.
