The Future Of One Jimmy Clausen.

[Cold Cat]

1. Other: Football is a business. Many have said it before I. He's young and learing. I'm sure with the pressure off of him he's grown as a player. Keep him around, let him play in the preseason. Get some intrest in the guy. If he garners it then good we have an option to move him. If he blows his chance to be seen well then you consider cutting him. I mean come on. Cut him now to save a million. Who we gonna pick up (FA) with that million saved.

Everytime I see #2 I just think it should be Cam...

[cultclassiccat]

If we draft a qb later in the draft then I think its a done deal that we cut him. Hopefully we can get some value for him but he could easily get cut imo.

I don't mind him staying as long as he's improving. I would let him see a ton of action in the pre-season and hopefully he increases his value to us or to another team.

[KillerKat]

I see him getting cut at the end of the final preseason game and us carrying 2 QBs

[Stroupe-a-loop]

I'd take him into another pre-season and see how he performs. I don't really see much point in cutting him now. There's no big money free agents left and no better 3rd stringers to replace him.

[carolina-chuck]

He showed an improvement last preseason. If he could show more improvement, he could generate a little interest. Though, I wouldn't mind keeping him as a backup once Anderson is gone. I don't think Anderson is going to be back after this season. Clausen could be a pretty good no.2 QB.

[Ivan The Awesome]

That's the other point I forgot to make, He did improve from last year. But Cam was just too much for him to over come. Although how long would you keep him for? Pre-season?

I doubt he gets first team snaps though. Cam has this offense on lock down. I just don't see the benefit of keeping him past the pre-season or 4-5 games into the season.

Come on Hurney, Make this happen with your magic.

[megadeth078]

The only player we could get in a trade would probably be another offensive lineman on the verge of getting cut.

Do it, Hurney.

this thread=the pinacle of off season threads...damn I can't wait until the draft

[iamcline]

Dream scenario would be that Miami picks up Michael Floyd and then he's shipped to Miami for a draft pick.

[PantherPhann89]

I think it's always best if we can trade a player, for a resonable trade, compaired to what his compensatory pick to us would be. If we haven't traded him prior to drafting a QB like Wilson then we'll cut him. If we don't draft a QB, we'll keep him for another year as inactive insurance.

[Mr ocho nueve]

Keep him while under his current contract. Cheap backup who is fimiliar with our system, i'll take him. Plus DA is on the roster to mentor young Cam and Jimmy./

We could trade Jimmy and a 6th round pick to some team with a need for QB and maybe get a 7th for him.
