For those who don't watch the whole video, Rivera had some good things to say about Jimmy Clausen, noting that he's seen real improvement over the last year. I've heard similar things from other observers that Clausen has worked very hard on improving and wouldn't be surprised if went ahead of Derek Anderson in the depth chart at some point. Apparently some higher ups are holding out hope of leveraging Jimmy into a decent trade bait at some point in his contract.

Yeah, I picked up on that. That would be the best case scenerio for everyone. Clausen is a lot younger than Anderson and could serve as a solid #2 back up. At the very least it could give him some trade value. Go Jimmy!

Good luck to Jimmy. It was a dream come true to think that the franchise QB of my team was from my home town, but unfortunately it just didn't work out.

I hope he can have a decent career in the NFL even if it is as our backup.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
