Does Rivera know Clausen exists?

Read the article in the observer this morning. Between that and his other comments Rivera has made on the QB situation I have not heard him even mention Clausen. He basically speaks as if the guy isn't on the roster.

Which is a good thing. I would lose respect for any posturing about Clausen's potential, didn't get a fair chance, might fit into the scheme.

I think Rivera took the 30 minutes to decide that Clausen stinks and is wisely moving on.

Don't be supervised if Clausen is not on the roster by the end of 2011. You heard it here!

Rivera certainly knows Clausen does exist. That is why from day one all he has talked about is finding a QB. Rivera talks about that over and over and over.

I think Rivera knows not all QBs can function in all offenses. Clausen isn't meant for his and wasn't for Fox's.

Rivera has spoken plenty about Clausen. What he's generally said is that he doesn't believe last season should be taken as the be-all/end-all evaluation of him because it was a bad situation and he was thrown in sooner than he should have been. He's also stated that Clausen will have every chance to prove whether he can be the franchise quarterback or not.

Will he prove it? Unknown, but he'll be given a shot.

I wouldn't assume he goes into the season as a starter, but I have little doubt he'll be on roster through next season.

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
