Cut Jimmy Clausen - Sign Troy Smith

Recommended Posts

This is not your typical obligatory FA signing thread. Troy Smith was just released by the Steelers. He more so fits the mold of Cam than Clausen ever will, oops never will. We can be developing Troy Smith this year at the #3 QB to be our #2 QB next year and going ahead. I don't think that Anderson is going to play too much longer, although it wouldn't be hard for what he's being asked to do, but Troy Smith is a better fit.

If we're talking ex-Steeler FAs, I'd rather have Dennis Dixon. I'm all for cutting Pickles though.

Hell, let's just cut Jimmy and roll with 2 QBs. Use the extra roster spot for Plax or Shock. If Cam goes down, we're screwed anyways.

I endorse this idea, though if I'm not mistaken Troy is younger and therefore cheaper than Dixon.

Eeeeh, maybe. I don't really know that Smith would stick either.

He's never really shown himself to be a pro level success anywhere and has had his fair share of chances. Just too short to be a successful pro, apparently.

He's one of the guys that I had hoped would succeed in the pros because Jim Tressel took the time to convert him from a running QB to a passer, but it just wasn't meant to be.

That said, there's no compelling reason to keep Clausen at this point.

    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet. 
    • oh now that's what you call Mother Fiuggure fans the ones that always have this fierce protective shield around the team no matter if they win or lose  & to be honest there is nothing really wrong with being a Mother Fiugguer fan they just have a different meaning or sense of what a true fan really is                                                 ☺️
