From all second hand accounts I have heard of things about town he is a total dick head. Maybe he has grown up in the past few years though.

I don't know if he is an ass or not but since Cam arrived I haven't heard anything negative about pickles from any players so I give him props for that. A lot of people would have made themselves into a huge headache and caused issues getting replaced like he did after one season when the organization was crap around him but Jimmy hasn't done that(or i haven't heard about it).

Jimmy never has been liked in Charlotte, a lot of people hated the pick, disastrous rookie season, inactive all 16 games for the past two seasons...etc. He isn't used to that. People in South Bend bowed down to him. He literally was sitting on top of the world. Now he's one of the worst QB's on an NFL roster.

He was literally sitting on top the world? Or by literally you mean figuratively?

he had one shot. it was his rookie year with awful coaches and no talent. his supporting cast gave zero craps. we gutted our team.

frustrating.

Nah, Fox's style was essentially to help weak QBs have success.

Clausen played in the NFL just like he did at Notre Dame. That wasnt Fox. Clausen made his OL look like poo and player scared at ND.....and never impressed. Only difference was his scared style didn't totally implode Notte Dame when they played West Coastal Texas Univserty Tech.

He doesn't appear to be the douche he was portrayed as however. I think the fact he is a good guy has kept him on this roster

When Jimmy was the starter he would frequently respond to tweets, so I don't know if I buy him being a jerk. He seemed pretty down to earth to me.

He had one shot and most of that was with two rookie wrs, a lame duck coach, and a gutted roster. Maybe he was going to suck anyway but he never had a chance.

Was just listening to late hits on NFL radio and a listener from Charlotte called in and asked if he thought Colby Cameron could beat out jimmy Clausen in training camp.

Gil's response was " Brian I don't know you and I don't know if you can throw a football but I'd take you over that quarterback from Norte Dame"..

 

haha As Ice Cube would say; Roofless!

Pickles' career is the epitome of the perfect storm. He came to the wrong place at the wrong time. 

 

Is Pickles' case really about him not being able to play in the league, or not being given a real opportunity to play in the league?

One incomplete season with a staff that didn't give a poo may lend itself to jokes, but does not necessarily mean that it lends itself to reality. The Jimmy Clausen story began as a dream that turned into a nightmare during the start of his professional career due mainly to circumstance, but that doesn't mean that it will end as a horror. Perhaps it will end as a dream deferred.  

 

One thing about it: I think that Rivera and Gettelman will give Clausen an honest chance to make his case in Carolina. 

 

I'm certainly not going to listen to some national media type who probably doesn't know poo about the intricacies of the team.

It's so funny the way Cam made us forget about Jimmy. I almost forgot he was on the team.

I will never forget 2010. The pain is etched in my mind forever. It was more painful than 2001. Weinke did a better job than Clausen and we were more competitve although we still sucked. Just in 2010 if we were behind by 3 points we were done. We never seemed to come back for a win.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
