Want a laugh?...Skip Bayless calls Clausen "A Poor Man's Jeff George"

[Dpantherman]

Jimmy Clausen will always be a preseason tease, reg-season disappointment. Poor man's Jeff George. Big arm, low intangibles, bad decisions.

he had more to say on first take this morning, but I won't bother going through it. He he's been pooing on Jimmy since he was at ND. for the record, Skip is a The Golden Calf of Bristol slurper...

[LinvilleGorge]

Don't pay him any mind. He's made a career out of being controversial. He just spews a bunch of BS and for some reason people still pay attention.

[JungleCat]

At least Bayless has his own first name right.

I think Scott Fowler has more credibility than Bayless

[w1bke4s]

Skip is a bit controversial but for the most part he is right on. Of course he misses on things just like anyone else but when it comes to evaluating players or even predicting games he's pretty good.

I am hoping that hes wrong but it just seems like we cant ever hit on a QB or WR other than smitty and moose...

However, Clause looked very poised in his first game as a pro

[DickolausJ]

I would say Clausens intangibles and descision making look much better than his arm right now.

poor man's Jeff George = Skip Bayless in tights

One of the things that always makes me chuckle is when a national guy making a criticism gets his facts flipped around.

Clausen's positive is a big arm? Eeehhhh, no. Arm strength is a question mark.

Intangibles and decision making are weak points? Again, no. Both of those are bigger positives than his arm strength.

If that post had been written about Hunter Cantwell, it would have made sense. Clausen? Not so much.

I guess if Skip were evaluating DeShaun Foster, he'd say that he isn't a very good outside runner, but he protects the ball well :sosp:

Intangibles and attitude I think are why he fell.

On paper, Clausen has it all for the most part. He made some real heads up plays for his first live action though.

A bit controversial? That's kind of like saying we dropped a couple of big firecrackers on Japan to end WWII.

I don't see a Jeff George comparison at all. Some people questioned Clausen's arm strength coming into the draft. All Jeff George had was a BIG arm.

[Davidson Deac II]

Agree with the others? Moore has a better arm than Clausen. Clausen is more mobile. The thing that will determine who is the longterm starter, will be their decision making and accuracy.

Intangibles, I don't think so. Attitude, maybe, but a lot of that apparently came from the segment he filmed with Jon Gruden. People made way too much of that.

A lot of the really vehement Clausen hate I've seen has come from people who would hate a friendly little puppy if it was wearing a Notre Dame logo.

Agreed. What game was he watching?

I seriously doubt Skip actually watched this game (or any other Panther game).
