In StL he has thrown 2 TDs and 2 Ints Fumbled a few times but only lost 1. Monday will be one of the toughest tests right out of the gate. If he can play well in that game who knows what might be possible.

Well, that piece makes me feel better about Clemens.
If Tony's right, it appears he's been practicing well (all season) and has the respect of the players. He's certainly been in this offense long enough to have it mastered. His years in the NFL is a bonus too.
For me it still comes down to protecting the football as my biggest worry with Clemens.

His biggest obsticle... hmmm
Well, I can't thing of a single thing that he's better at than Sam. I think that's a good place to start... and end. I'm not going there.

Since we have not seen Clemens working with the 1's it is hard to say there are not things he is equal to or even better than Sam at. Obviously Sam is our #1 guy but Clemens is on the team for some reason.
As for protecting the football see his previous stats I posted above and realize the rest of this team is better than the team he played with for 3 games in 2011.
Gambling only works if you have the arm, mental acuity and accuracy to put it in there. Clemens doesn't.
What is Kellen Clemens's biggest obstacle? His complete lack of talent. :shifty:
He may not have Sam's arm strength, but he has enough to be earning an NFL game check for many years now. He has talent,,, otherwise he wouldn't have been strapping on a helmet all these years. Saying he has a "complete lack of talent" is not even remotely accurate. And as for his mental acuity,,, that's one of the biggest reasons he's still playing.
Gambling doesn't mean forcing the ball into obvious coverage to me,,, I take it to mean that he will play aggressively. I have always thought that Sam's first thoughts before he releases a pass is "What could go WRONG here"... I think that was ingrained into him from his first 2 years with Spags in his head. I think Killer's Gambling instincts will have him thinking "What could go RIGHT here" instead.
Truth is, Killer isn't in the top 10 as far as NFL QBs,,, but he isn't in the bottom 10 either.
Doom and gloom much?
Clearly the dropoff will be noticeable, but Clemens can still get the ball to the receivers. And other people are accurate in their assessment of his propensity to take more chances. His first read is usually the one that will yield the most yards. I've noticed that about him for years now. Sometimes that will pay off and sometimes it won't, but he didn't get in the coaches' favor by being a talentless QB.
