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.

      Our Buddy Chase Blackburn Fired

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47371200/sources-rams-fire-special-teams-coordinator-chase-blackburn LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams have fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis. The Seahawks (12-3) overtook the Rams for first place in the division and the top overall record in the NFC thanks to the 38-37 overtime victory. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. In the Rams' first loss of the season, 33-26 to the Eagles, Los Angeles had its final two offensive possessions end with blocked kicks. In the Rams' Week 10 victory over the Saints, kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal attempt. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Los Angeles replaced long-snapper Alex Ward with Jake McQuaide and Karty with Mevis, who had not missed a kick until Thursday night in Seattle. Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      It was a bad play from Icky but the OL didn't give up a sack until late in the 4th quarter and Bryce just stood there like he was canatonic. If our 3rd year number one overall pick can't overcome one single sack against a rebuilding Saints team that should only have 2 wins this season then it isn't ever going to happen   This is your quote. I mean I’ve quoted it twice. It was followed by calling people that defended him fugers and several other meltdowns I can also quote.    Shame you for working for a living??? Wow this is a whole new level to your victim mentality thing you like to do. You don’t have to watch games live. Or don’t spend an entire thread arguing about something you didn’t get the full picture of. I miss parts of games all the time. That’s just life. Not even going into the whole losing all respect thing.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By frankw · Posted

      Rams ended up firing ST coach and former Panthers coach Chase Blackburn after the loss. Sounds all too familiar.
