Why do people say stupid things, such as "Well, Clausen was going against the second string D." Clausen was being protected by the second string OL for the most part, had a second year FB and undrafted RBs behind him. No established WRs, and the D was blitzing and stunting like crazy. THis is not against Moore who I know is better right now, but just because I think so doesn't mean I am anti-Clausen. Not many second round QBs would have done well in that situation.

Moore had many of the same problems. No Smitty, W. Wright and Lafell started, I think. DWill played a little, but he had no Stewart. They both did fine.

As for those all over Gross, I don't care. It is preseason, so if your man beats you, tackle him before he Tbones the QB. He was probably told that.

Jesusthug, lol. haha.. ha... hahahahahahahahahahaha

so yeah, anyway... My opinion on the matter is that Moore looked like a deer in headlights Thursday night. I still think he deserves to start, and he'll get the nod from John Fox, but you have to admit that Clausen looked pretty damn good. He needs work, this is clear, but I like his moxie. I think Moore is getting used to not having Smitty and Moose around right now. He'll get the hang of things though.

And to say Moore didn't show enough in those last five games is just ridiculous. An opponent's defense isn't just their secondary... half a teams secondary is their defensive line... without pressure, the secondary will just flat out suck. And I'm pretty sure Jared Allen isn't a slump like Peppers. They got after Moore early on... but you know how Moore showed why he belongs under center? He did exactly what the coaches asked of him... handed the ball off to J-Stew and Sutton... then when the time came, he made a big play down field. Just because he didn't throw for over 300 yards and 4 touchdowns in each of those 5 games doesn't mean he's not suited to be our starting QB. He manages the game very well, and when you have DW and J-Stew in the backfield, what's the point of airing it out while you've got your fingers crossed that it doesn't get picked off?

and I'd like to add that Clausen was playing against backups, but they'll all be suiting up for game day come week 1. which means, they're NFL quality players, some of which could start on another team. for instance, Mount Cody (Terrance Cody)... he could play the NT for half the teams in the league probably.

The Ravens backup defense is probably better than a lot of teams starting defenses.

There has been far more hype for Moore since last year my friend. All he did was have a mediocre performance that was hailed as the second coming! The guy is a shitty QB period. Im not sure that Clausen will be the man either, it's to early to tell. But so far pre season game 1 goes to Clausen.

Can you please explain what is mediocre about having 3tds 0ints 299yrds with a passer rating of 123.2 on sunday night football in front of the whole nation against one of the best teams in the NFL?? And dont try and say he was throwing to anybody wide open he was just raw and maybe you shouldnt try to cut down his performance just because you want clausen to play.

I'm on my phone so its hard to check but if its the Viking game he did throw at least 1 td to a wide open wr and he fumbled twice. We just licked out and got the ball back. Fumbling is sort of an issue. The Viking also ranked 10th in the NFL for most passing touchdown given up so it wasn't like Moore was carving up an amazing secondly.

If you are talking about the Giants game than all that needs to be said is the only team in Football to give up more touchdown in the air was the Lions. They were both good games but give them some perspective and don't leave things out like fumbles.

Look I just want the best Qb when the season starts!Im not sold on Moore as a starting QB. Neither are most people I talk to that are level headed football fans! To me he seems like a good back up that can win a couple when needed. Maybe I'm wrong> I don't claim to be the authority on anything I don't do myself. But The Vikings game (which I have ) and have watched countless times-The Steve Smith reception For the TD was the only pass you could say was good throwing into coverage. He had to make a play on the ball so it's not like he has spectacular accuracy. Tell me what Matt Moore has done besides those gimme games? What makes you think he's the man besides Jake being so bad in contrast!

THe reality is that the only starting quarterback we have with any experience is Moore. So far, Clausen has completed 6 passes in a meaningless preseason game, You try and belittle Moore's accomplishments without pointing out the obvious which is no matter how little the experience, it is still light years ahead of Clausen right now. How about at least waiting until Clausen has done something before we put him on an the same level as Moore.

We all want the best quarterback to be playing. Most of us simply feel that a proven commodity no matter how small the sample is better than a totally unproven commodity until further evidence refutes that. Lets see Clausen actually lead the offense to at least a field goal before we annoint him the starter.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
