Clausen article

I understand he has a lot of haters.  But I think everyone should give the man props for class.  Not what we expected from him...makes that even better.

 

He always seems to say the right things and does not try to draw attention to himself.  He may not be a great talent, but I respect him.

Uhhh ... tough to respect a guy who shows up on signing day in a fur coat and a Hummer limo.

 

However, I do respect the fact he tanked our '10 season so we ended up with Cam, blessing in disguise.

I think Clausen has really always had class. He was given the Cam Newton treatment from the beginning, unfortunately for him the media was correct and the real Cam Newton came along.

He will always be serviceable but he doesn't have much to be classless about all things considered. Glad he's a panther but also glad he's only our 3rd string QB.

Honestly, I can't say what type of talent he has because I can't really count that one season.  I know that I can take a hint by him being on third string, but I would still like to believe he has more talent than was displayed when he was on the grand stage.  Moreover, I would think that Clausen has to have learned something from the sidelines (like he said) that would allow him to harness that talent.

 

The story hasn't been completely written on AE, but I wouldn't mind Clausen following a similar track this year.  I wish him well.

BTW, regarding fur coats and hummers, most kids coming to the NFL have to grow up.

In all fairness to him being a third stringer, DA may be the best backup QB in the league.

This idea seems to be a joke around here, but I think there's a glimmer of hope he plays exceptionally well all preseason and we can trade him for a future 7th or some crappy player and knock off 500k in cap space.

    • Sure, he's said that, but what it really means is that he's just going to insist on being a two way player and the Jags want him as such. But he won't be a starter who plays every snap on both sides in Week 1, if at all during his rookie year.  This is the NFL, no rookie, no matter how good they might be, is going to be able to go through their first mini and training camps while splitting time on both sides of the ball and be ready to be a week 1 starter and go full time both sides. And if a team does that, then they're dumb. I think their plan is to start him mainly on offense to give Lawrence another weapon, and I'm guessing it means he'll be a rotational CB early in the season, maybe he comes in when they go to nickel, even if he then plays the outside and someone else shifts inside.
    • Keep the peddle to the mettle the devils are gassed
    • YAC isn't the only way to be a threat. Thielen's ADOT was 11 yards last year. He's stressing a defense beyond its first level. Renfrow's 2023 ADOT was 5.6 yards. He's settling into a soft spot under a zone and the defense bets that they can rally and tackle before he gets to the marker. That kind of popgun slot receiver play is fine, but we should hope to be able to find that ability in someone who can also bring another skill, whether that's a vertical threat, or some jet sweep/screen game YAC  ability, or even just being very large and blocking well. Every time we trot Renfrow out there, we limit what the defense has to worry about.
