Fun fact: you can make this thread about almost every other pick taken after Clausen in the second round outside of Golden Tate, Carlos Dunlap, or Sean Lee.

 

Jason Worilds was pretty good.  He's the kid that was due for a big contract and surprisingly retired.

I remember going to a game of Saints vs Bengals and I couldn't believe how big Carlos Dunlap is.  He's one of those guys that you can look at his size stats on the web and watch him on TV, but its hard to appreciate it until you see him in person.

Sooooo......Herbert or Love to deliver a second #1 pick?

Why? We had Clausen in Grier. With what we saw last year, Grier would have guaranteed us the #1 pick. With a D giving up 30 a game and a QB who only gets us 6 points every other game, I think mathematically our odds at 0-16 would be 99.98%. Also, let’s not forget Weinke who Clausened us into Peppers. Both of them did their jobs amazingly well and I dare say that Grier would have made them proud.

Javier Arenas was a decent player too.

Looking at the rest of the draft makes me ill....taking Donald LaFell 5 picks before Emanuel Sanders. Trading up to take Armanti Edwards 2 picks ahead of Navarro Bowman and 6 picks ahead of Jimmy Graham. Drafting Eric Norwood 9 spots ahead of Kam Chancellor.

Hindsight GM's out in force today I see.

Look, Clausen was terrible.  No argument.  However, at the time he was picked, things like this were being said:

It wasn't his personality or leadership skills that failed, dude just couldn't play.  All this shows is that QB is the ultimate wildcard position.

I was never a Jimmy fan, even when they were hyping him up as a "kid."  They talked about how advanced he was relative to his peers.  Well no poo he's "advanced," he's older than them.  He was pushing 20 when he left high school. LOL

Mel Kiper loved him some Clausen...

Quote

While most people viewed Clausen as a second round pick, Kiper had him as the fourth best player in the entire draft.

People were quick to point out that Kiper’s rankings might be biased because of his friendship with Clausen’s agent, Gary Wichard — something Kiper scoffed at.

Kiper was so confident in his analysis of Clausen that he had this infamous exchange with ESPN foil Todd McShay:

Kiper: “If Jimmy Clausen is not a successful quarterback in the NFL, I’m done. That’s it. I’m out.”

McShay: “What is your time frame, Mel? When do we make that assessment?”

Kiper: “I want eight years.”

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
