So it's the offseason - Is Jimmy Clausen's career salvageable?

[Stroupe-a-loop]

Every NFL team had a shot to draft Clausen

and didn't. That's completely different than how the league felt about Steve Young when he came in.

[The Huddler]

I still think pickles could be a good QB

Jimmy Clausen I think holds a NFL passing record. 299 consecutive pass attempts without a TD to a WR

Clausen is a hemroid

[Guest Irv]

The success jimmy clausen has in the future is on himself. Is he willing to look at his mistakes and strive to get better or is he content with getting backup salery and sitting on the bench in street clothes. Every quarterback in the league has a chance to be great you have to put in your very best and more to achieve that success you dreamed of when you first got drafted.

Still think he's as capable of a back up as anyone could be here right now unless you're going to find a poor man's Cam newton out there with a similar skill set.

[jtnc]

Nope. He is too fuging scared, and you can see it. He CANNOT lead a team, people like to poo on Cam for his demeanor, but at least he's fearless.

it was only preseason but clausen looked like a different quarterback last year

When you play against guys who will be working for UPS....that can happen

Funny how we set the backup bar so low at QB...

And so high at RB for example

[KillerKat]

Young, even in Tampa, still showed good enough intangibles to warrant being traded for 2nd and 4th round draft picks. Nobody would even trade their ham sandwich for Clausen.

Stupid thread.

[KendrickPanther]

He's been a nice guy. But the NFL is no place for nice guys. His arm isn't strong enough for our current passing attack. We need a strong armed passing quarterback to back up Cam. It would be a big mistake to get a backup QB that runs the read option. That is not what we want to be pigeon holed into.

[TheRumGone]

Clausen plays scared....there is no fixing that.
