I met Jimmy Clausen last night

Recommended Posts

He was at Bevmo near his old high school in Westlake Village, CA looking for a nice bottle of champagne for a wedding.

I went up to him and told him that I am a huge panther fan and sat through the 2-14 season and always cheered him on and wished for the best. He was appreciative because I'm sure he never gets that, especially in our home town.

Totally wanted to take a selfie but he was with his mom and they seemed busy.

Just thought I'd share :jimmy:

My fav part of this is that Im expecting every thread to be an april fools joke.

Yet this one i beleived from the first word. No one would waste 5 minutes of their life making up a jimmy c story.

You shoulda just snapped a pic with his mom

He should have got a selfie with you.   Twitter:  Proof that Mom is not my only fan.

 

Seriously, I will always wonder if we didn't break him.  We put him in a situation with 2 rookie, mid to late-round WRs, a scrub OL, and a terrible OC.  

 

He was beaten up so badly--be DEs and fans---that I really think it mentally ruined him.  It is easy to sit there and say, "He needs to be tough and take it...etc"  but at 21 years of age, could you?

even in the armpit of the 2010 season i couldn't hate him

 

he was drafted by a GM on a long cold streak and was playing for a head coach who didn't want him and wouldn't have cared if he got run over by one of the TV cranes on the sidelines.  through all this i don't remember him bitching to the media or acting like the diva he supposedly was.

Clausen was not mentally ready before he even stepped on the field. That team was 2-14 because of Jimmy Clausen. Sure we had a weak o-line but we still had Steve Smith, LaFell, and a David Gettis that wanted to play football. 

 

The team was not the reason Clausen would never throw down field. All he ever did was check down. He simply played like a chicken and didn't want to throw picks. That same squad was competitive with Matt Moore at QB. He's the guy we should feel sorry for.

    • Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
