Jimmy Clausen

[CRA]

I respect his game.

you respect he played on a stacked HS team that beatup on scrubs in a league where those caliber of teams couldn't hang w/ the JV programs of even the Rock Hill high schools?

you respect the fact he didn't win in college and racked his few wins agaist nobodies.

I respect Jimmy the person as I have no reason not to, he seems like a nice kid. I would buy him a beer if I saw him and shoot the poo politely. But his game has never been impressive and was embarassing last season.

He's very tough and passionate. I respect him for that.

LOL Ashor just trolled the lot of you.

I can respect that as well.

That doesn't mean his game isn't complete crap and never did much prior to entering the NFL worth noting.

Interesting clip. Most every pass was a dumpoff or short pass. What we saw last year was similar to the clip. Funny he was supposed to be the pro ready Qb last year and this clip shows primarily dump offs and short passes with one main read sometimes 2. Somehow I expected a lot more.

Ummm, seriously?

He had around 5-6 passes over 20 yards, which was around 20% of his passes in the game.

Look at the defense they were playing against, they blitzed almost all game long and so ND hit them with screens...

He was 8th in the league for most sacked with only 10 starts. Our pass protection was non-existent. Bradford was sacked only one more time than Clausen with throwing nearly 300 more passes.

David Carr effect. Learn about it.

That's fine, call it what you will, but he was being directly criticised for something that was plain untrue.

That is called bias.

So it's Clausen's fault that he was thrown in there prematurely without the following: running game, good receivers, or a respectable offensive line?

Honestly i hope for the best for Jimmy. I feel bad for the guy because he had no help by the coaches and our team SUCKED ASS, not just Jimmy. Now that Cam is here to tear things up for a long time to come, I hope Jimmy is traded somewhere that is willing to help him grow as a player. I wana see him do well and succeed. It just wont be here unless Cam dies or somethin lol he will eventually be a average-good QB in this league.

WRs had no problem when Clausen was on the bench.

Running game did the same as always - start slow, finish strong.

OL play was comparable to the rest of the division. QB play wasn't.

Comparable to our division? The next closest to Jimmy's sack total was Freeman and he was brought down 28 times and started every game this season. Six more starts than Clausen and five less sacks total is not comparable.

Running game was only comprised of Mike Goodson playing his heart out.

We only had one receiver to go over 100 yards in a game and that was against the 49ers when Jimmy didn't get to play a single snap. 49ers were terrible and Jimmy probably would've had comparable stats to Moore that game.

There is a difference between getting sacked because the O-line is bad and getting sacked bc you can't get rid of the ball.
