After reading it...it would seem that he is a smart QB. Dos'nt want to force it and when he did it gor picked last game. I think he will play smarter from now on. Hope so anyway...

Looked like Clausen was more comfortable with finding LaFell than throwing to Smith where he could get intercepted because of double coverage. Smart play on his part.

Yea I agree as per my edit. I think he's going o be a very good QB. In time though.

Considering know no one but the folks on the sidelines knew what was said and how it was said, it probably was overblown

Yea but you don't just walk up to someone and say something to them and throw your cup down and have to be pulled away by someone if your not angry. Says he was heard screaming at Clausen. Just sayin

With the way our receiving corps is set up it's hard for a rookie to throw to a number 1 whose double teamed...it'll be much easier when he gets more comfortable and confidence in his abilities but now with no stand out number two its going to be a struggle.

Just googled and checked youtube and did'nt find anything.

That interception early on was just one excellent play by Hall. When I saw it, I couldn't really get mad at Clausen.

After that game, I was more hopeful about the future of our WRs. We do have some good ones. I hope they're more supportive of Jimmy, the next few weeks are critical in how he develops in this league.

Not only that but the more he spreads the ball around maybe other DCs will have to start covering our others wideouts and not double Smith so much. Giving him a chance to get open more.

wow...he says all the right things...he did try to force it, he realized it, said he can't do that anymore....and moving on

I know Smitty wants the ball, but a lot of the time the problem with our QB's has been the tendancy of "focusing on one reciever"...which they have a right to do so...but....YOU CAN"T DO THAT.

Jimmy really impresses me, he really does

Can't wait to see what happens this week with Saints D. They do move around a ton to disguise their coverage. Hope hes a damn fast learner.

smitty spits venom

"It was said that I was just about to 'go off,' and I wasn't," Smith said after Wednesday's practice. "I thought it was interesting because here, I was obviously agitated and frustrated, but sometimes people think they know me better than I know myself. I think that's a joke, and I think the people that reported it are jokes."

I agree he just needs prove it on the field.
