I believe Derek Anderson gets cut

[TheRed]

Nobody is clamoring for Jimmy Clausen. We're clamoring to get rid of the underperforming dead weight on this team at every position, and at the QB position, Anderson has performed the worst this offseason.

 

 

By that logic, they both should be cut.

[AceBoogie]

I've always been in favor of carrying 3 qbs. Jimmy does a lot in the film room that fans can't see. Cam has acknowledged such before. If Cam goes down we'll just have to sign one anyway. Much rather keep Jimmy than having Fua on the damn roster.

[stirs]

Will be interesting because our whole QB corps has underperformed during preseason. If that is due to playcalling and instructions to stay in pocket, run no screens, blah, blah, blah, then only the coaches will be able to ascertain who is doing what.

But yeah, OLine is in the same position with all those guys rotating in and out with the firsts and who knows who they might keep beyond Gross and Kalil.

[Achilles]

No matter...if it comes down to running this offense without #1, it ain't gonna be pretty.

I felt bad for Clausen in 2010 because he was so overrated coming out of college, he didn't really get a fair shot to develop before being thrown into the fire. John Fox was never a HC who had any patience developing QBs. He does actually look more composed in the pocket. I think DA still has him on arm strength, but no longer on accuracy.

If we can only keep one, I have no problem keeping Clausen at this point. Plus that frees up another roster spot for a position of need.

[Hotsauce]

Pickles has one "ok" game and everyone is jumping on his bandwagon?

[FattyFatFat]

We should trade DA to wal-mart for Brian St. Pierre.

[Cj72]

It appears to me that jimmy has played with a purpose this preseason while DA looks like he really doesn't give a fug.

It makes no sense to carry 3 QB's when you have Armanti Edwards on the team!  :wacko:

beat me to it

[Matthias]

First you tell me Armanti Edwards is going to make the team in spite of Fox and Hurney being long gone, and now Clausen is making headway in making the team?  Before training camp, these were probably two guys I thought for sure wasn't going to make the team this year.  Man, I suppose the next guy who wins a roster spot will be Fua.

[RelaxImaPro]

Anybody know if Testaverde is still alive?

[RelaxImaPro]

... But seriously though, I'd keep Jimmy.  He's cheaper, younger, has shown improvement and actually looked better than DA this whole offseason.  I don't know what the fug happened to Anderson, but we can't afford dead weight at the moment, even if it is a knee jerk reaction.  Plain and simple, Jimmy at least never gave up (despite his bleak-looking future in the NFL) and you can tell he's been putting in the work to get better.  If Cam goes down we're fuged anyways.

 

Besides, like it's been said before Jimmy was thrown to the fire his rookie season and is finally showing a little bit of progress.  We might as well hold on to him for now, he's cheap as fug.

he dead.

[Keith Moons Liver]

Go with the cheaper guy. It doesn't really matter who the backup is- if cam goes down we aren't winning any games regardless.
