And the Start Jimmy Clausen BS starts in just over 32 hours..


Awesomeness!!

ITs going to be Brady Quinn Derek Anderson all over again....big mistake not only drafting this guy, but bigger mistake not trading him by now. Laugh at me now....

Okay :lol:

Reminds me of that huge mistake the Packers made by drafting, and then not trading, Aaron Rodgers.

Oh wait... :sosp:

Hanging on to a quality rookie and giving him time to develop is rarely a mistake. You might not have heard, but these things called "injuries" have been known to happen in the NFL. Likewise having viable backup options when your starter - although tested - is still unproven, can hardly be called a "bigger mistake".

Zod how can I remove someone's thread starting abilities?

Ever notice that a lot of the dumber statements made here happen because somebody always wants to be "the first to say it" :nonod:

I can see it happening with Moore/Clausen. Clausen was considered a top 10 talent, some claimed the best qb of the '09 draft, but dropped due to attitude problems. Moore was undrafted. The people that put where a player was drafted above everything else may get antsy.

Only Fox/Richardson can control whether it turns into a true Quinn/Anderson type situation though. I don't see them switching qbs on a regular basis. If Moore continues to show potential... the job is his. If fan opinion mattered they wouldn't have left Delhomme out there for 11 games last season. They would have saved him from himself.

I can agree with this

Fwiw, the OP is probably right regarding the complaints. If Moore has a bad game in preseason, the Moore sucks, start Clausen comments will begin.

That being said, drafting Clausen was probably the correct move. If Moore works out and we resign him for a few years, then great. We can trade Clausen for another pick, or have him on the bench for insurance. If Moore doesn't work out, then we have a couple of options.

I'd never underestimate the tendency for fans to complain (whether it's warranted or not).

Shouldn't it be start Cantwell since Jimmy is only 3rd string?

Zod, I gotta be honest, these "cute" little remarks your making about Jimmy being only 3rd string, are getting, well, tiresome.

You know as well as anyone else here Clausen is gonna be 2nd on the depth chart before long.

Not trying to cook your goose, just saying.
