Jimmy Clausen: Murdering Your Fantasy Team


I will admit it. I hate Jimmy Clausen. I hate his douchey hair, the fact that he went to Notre Dame, and his shitty brothers that went to Tennessee. Now, he is murdering fantasy teams around the United States. Here are the stats him and his tag-team partner * Matt Moore have put up through 5 games.

Completion Percentage: 45.3%
Yards: 796
TDs: 3
Ints: 7
Fumbles: 10!
QB Rating: 43.6

* I'd consider the Clausen-Moore tag team the Hart Foundation and last years Brady Quinn-Derek Anderson the Road Warriors team in the crappy QB tag team division *

Going into this year Deangelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, and Steve Smith were all highly regarded fantasy commodities. So far all three have taken a collective dump on your team. The reason why is "Jimmy Legs" provides no threat in the passing game. He can't get the ball to thie big playmaker, Smith (5 catches for 33 yards in Clausen's starts). Thus, teams have taken away their running game. The Panthers are averaging 99 yards per game on 3.9 yards per carry. This is down from 156 yards per game on 4.8 yards per carry in 2009. As someone who owned Williams and Smith this year, here is to hoping Jimmy Clausen sits on a plunger when he squats to pee this evening.

You did NOT just compare Quinn-Anderson to the Road Warriors!!! The Road Warriors AKA the Legion of Doom are commonly regarded as the greatest tag team of all time, WCW and WWF included! The Hart Foundation was a good tag team to too...I must have missed your point or something.
