Anyone Still Want to Defend Clausen?

lol

I think anyone with any sense of objectivity can see Clausen has shown improvement from the start of the season..

against NO: higher ypa, no interceptions, actually threw a TD pass

sorry about your post

what are you seeing.

What has he improved on since his first start? how about 3 examples of areas he has improved.

lol he won't respond because there aren't any areas

Jimmy plays worse than his stats.....and his stats are bad.

I asked you to give a couple examples. Examples of the areas he has improved in don't require stat talk.

lol get the fug out

Then tell me what he's improved on.

He only fumbled the snap once today and usually he fumbles it 2 or 3 times in a game.

It is amazing to me how little emotion Clausen shows out there, nothing.

So? How much emotion does Flacco ever show? He seems to be successful with the extremely little emotion that he shows.

For him, improvement would be throwing a touchdown pass. Something he has done once in 5 starts and 3 other games in which he has seen playing time this year. People like to make the Josh Freeman and Tampa Bay comparison. Hell, even he threw 10 touchdowns last year in the 10 games he played. Peyton Manning (another QB people refer to as having a bad rookie season) threw 26 TDs in 1998. Weinke threw 11 TDs.

Clausen has been pathetic by all historical standards and he has none of the intangibles that show me he can be a successful QB. He apparently has never learned how to step up in the pocket despite having played the position for several years and being "groomed" to be an NFL QB. He bails on a play way too early and is completely unimaginative on the field.

yep, as a rookie Chris Weinke threw TDs in 9 games and had a couple of multi TD games. He threw for over 200 yards 6 times.

Clausen makes Chris Weinke look good.

Why does everyone expect him to come in and light it up? Throwing the ball away is better than throwing a pick. he does need to let it rip a little more often I mean we are 1-11. It's not like we have a lot to lose. But give the kid a break we have issues when he's not in the game!

Different Team,

Different Offensive Cooridinator,

Bad Comparison.

bad team. bad rookie QB.

Clausen is light years away from what a horrible Chris Weinke was able to do. I don't think the comparison is that bad.....the offenses just aren't the same. You can still compare what two rookies were able to do as rookies......and Clausen makes Weinke look good.

No one does. No one has ever claimed he should do that. No one has ever claimed he shouldn't make mistakes just about every game.

He is just horrible. That is not acceptable. Not when you show nothing for people to at least have faith in him to develop into something downt he road.
