Looks like we get Clausen's pickles for week 16

Jimmy Clausen will start in Week 16 against the Lions.

The Bears benched Jay Cutler, leaving Clausen to make his first start since 2010. Per NFL Network's Mike Silver, Bears players believe Clausen will "light it up" in Marc Trestman's quarterback-friendly scheme "simply because he'll run the offense as prescribed." Clausen has potential for plug-and-play value in the Bears' pass-based attack, but gets a difficult first matchup against the Lions. He'll be no more than a QB2 option and daily-league dart throw in Week 16.

That sucks. In my championship game in my money FF league the other guy was set to start Cutler. Fuck. Just looked and he picked up RG3.

The Lions have been able to break a few ominous team trends this year, which is good. Now they'll have to break yet another - that of making QB's like Clausen look like Joe Montana.

Hopefully someone has a funny jar of pickles type of sign at the game. Golden opportunity right there...

No recent game film on him makes it a little tougher. Look for him to be loose and slinging it around with recklass abandon.

BREAKING NEWS: NFL will allow Mark Trestman to use "Canadian Rules" vs the Lions on Sunday, permitting Bear receivers to get running starts on every offensive play in an effort to even the odds a little.

as long as they only get 3 downs to get 10 yards, fine.

He'll be throwing SHORT routes, just like Minny did last week. Put 10 on the line and make Forte eat some dirt.
RB What issue of People Magazine is that?

Talk about a gift from the Bears. I think what you call this is assuring yourself the worst possible record to make sure you get a great draft pick.

Claussen is atrocious. Brandon Marshall is out. My only issue is -- Chicago will actually use Forte now, as there is no way they let Claussen air it out all game, unless they want to get him killed.

I loved seeing Forte with only 5 carries. Hopefully the Lions rush defense continues their dominating play and shut him down.

I can't believe clausen has been in the league four years already, where does time go.

I thought the guy was out of football!

If it's the SOL the Bears upset Detroit and Clausen gets rich thanks to the Lions.

If the Lions have turned the page hey kick the Bears ass with all the issues they have.
