'07 CA QB Jimmy Clausen (Signed LOI to Notre Dame)

[koonja]

Sorry, it's the troll in me .

GB knows what I'm talking about and there's no problem here.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Yeah, no problem.

I'm actually surprised you had a problem with that. I thought you liked ****y, lol.

This isn't a dating or 'hook up' site.........

Probably the best thing that could happen to him! If we could have just had a decent defence his last 2 years at ND!

A decent OL would have been helpful as well.

I can see how that sounded weird.

I'm saying, I expected GB to be a fan of the 'new school' rather than the 'old school'. AKA, like the swag and brashness of college football players, and not really care about their attitudes as long as they don't go over the top.

 

[calvegas04]

Maybe he can be a QB coach for HS recruits or something

 

[ohara831]

They gave him a "few" chances?

They drafted him onto a terrible team with terrible coaching.

Changed his head coach.

Changed his Ocoordinator

Drafted Newton

I live here. Watched every single game. I have been to training camp to watch them practice a few dozen times. They did give him several chances to prove he could handle the job. He made bad decisions all the time in practice and the coaches were drilling him over and over about using his brain when looking over the defenses and about keeping cool in the pocket. I really wanted him to succeed here, but he could not. That is the entire reason they drafted Cam.

So proud of Billy Madison aka @JimmyClausen for going back to ND to finish his degree while he's rehabbing his shoulder #Proud #FrankTheTank

 

[Irish2015]

Makes sense why I saw him yesterday on campus. Did a double take and couldn't figure out why he was here.

 

[DillonHall]

What? Clausen graduated back in 2011.

 

[cody1smith]

What? Clausen graduated back in 2011.

Could be wrong but I think he left early.

Uhhh that's weird because he definitely walked at my graduation ceremony in '11.

Exactly.

He did. But he came back to finish his degree. I distinctly remember him at the Arts and Letters ceremony and at Finny's with Golden on the weekends.

AHh... I see. Man I wish that dude would have stayed,

 

[RyCo1983]

Yeah they both went back and got their degrees...Golden went to Tennessee first and transferred some classes over and then finished up in South Bend...

Maybe Clausen was close to having a 2nd degree?

Not letting me post his tweet..

But, jimmy officially graduated today, must have been taking a few courses since being put on IR back in September.

 

[koonja]

3rd time's a charm!

 

[irishfan]

Nice, good for JC to go back and get the degree.

Really wish a team with a proven system like the Pats or Packers would pick him up...

 

[KPENN]

Apparently has signed with the bears

 

[CanadalovesND]

I do remember that Trestman worked with Clausen in the months leading up to the 2010 NFL Draft.

 

[blueNDgold44]

Would love to see Jimmy make the team but don't see it happening with Palmer, Jerrod Johnson, and David Fales all competing for the 2nd and 3rd spot on the roster. And that's if they even decide to keep 3 QBs on the roster.

Somewhere, woolybug can't stand up for several hours due to excitement.

No offense but.. who?

Are those two guys really better than Jimmy? Only problem for Jimmy's chances is his inactivity.

And they will keep 3 QBs because Fales is just a rookie.

 

[irishandy]

Good luck Jimmy, go make us proud!

 

[irishfan]

Trestman is a QB genius. IMO Chicago is the best spot he could've gone apart from the offensive juggernaut teams (Pats, Packers, Saints) who seem to have systems anyone can run successfully.

I agree. JC has the arm to beat out those guys. He "should" be able to make a roster in the right situation.

I don't agree with that. I think Chicago is the best place for him to land, even over those teams. Green Bay, New Orleans and New England are more the product of a great QB than a great system. Chicago is definitely the marque system, which can make good QB's better.

Marshall and Jeffrey might be the best WR duo in the NFL right now. Add Forte to the mix and there's a lot of firepower there.
