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.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
