Here's why I don't like Clausen right now

I, jpo287 types like a p*ssy, When Peppers batted down his pass, jpo287 never really even tried to get the ball back. He watched it go up and moved towards it but there was no hustle or aggression in his moves. Watch the "Peppers picks the Panthers" video in the link below and watch around the 26/27 second mark. It doesn't look to me like he's even attempting to go after the tipped ball - that's just either weak or cowardly.

I also think all those fumbles at center are because he's afraid of getting flattened by the linemen. And please don't give me this crap about how it is the O-line's fault. They're not playing as bad as most of you think. Clausen's nerves are just rattled and he runs like a scared rabbit at the first sign of pressure. Hard to protect the QB when he's running all around the place.

Now it is early in his career and he does have potential but as it stands now, he's a liability out there.

Fixed, your welcome:D

Of all the things to point out Clausen f**king up on, you choose to pick the one where the play was to throw a screen at Peppers? really?

Well I'm not sure what exactly it means but from the press conference I can assure you Fox did not chose that play. I don't know if that means the OC is indeed responsible for calling the offense and Fox thinks the guy's a retard too, or if that meant that Jimmy made a poor decision on that play.

But of all the things I don't like about Clausen, I honestly felt that one play wasn't so bad. He did looked to me like he tried to go get it back. But he did look like he was afraid of getting hurt opting to not lunge over Peppers like he was afraid to piss Peppers off or something.

Good post.

Clausen getting a ball batted down and picked by a 6'7" freak defensive end is not a referendum on his play. It also doesn't mean he throws a "low ball" because he hasn't adjusted to open throwing lanes better as a rookie. All of that comes with experience.

It could be worse. He could have gotten his ball batted down and picked off last Sunday by a rookie defensive lineman. Just ask Sam Bradford.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.
