Sam has already been better than Clausen on the field.

Jimmy got us a the #1 pick in the draft, a franchise QB, and a new coaching staff. 

After just three NFL starts and being pulled in week 5, Clausen was benched after completing 47 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions. Clausen also fumbled seven times, losing two, and had a 52.2 passer rating. Clausen finished the 2010 season with 157 completions out of 299 attempts (52.5%), 1,558 yards with 3 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He was sacked 33 times and fumbled 9 times, losing two.[43]

What is Sam going to get us??

 

Sam is better than Clausen. Not enough better to matter but he is better than Clausen.

Sam is more of the Weinke/Peete class of Panthers QB.

Man, you know Jimmy Clausen was just the worst when everyone can agree Darnold is definitely better lol

I'd probably have to check out the season if we had a Clausen-level QB.  I can't believe we even won a game with him.

Clausen and Sam are two different kinds of horrible IMO.  Jimmy brought a consistency you could count on.  The O would be no threat.  Ever.  

Sam can an have odd game here or there and has physical ability.  You can’t count on him even to properly suck.

I should know, considering he blew the Jets chances at getting Trevor Lawrence.

Exactly.  Clausen last year easily goes 0-16 for the Jets.  And would have done it if even the front office wasn’t trying to set them up to fail. 

Sam is always going to let you down.  You want him to get the pick you want? Well, he is going to win a couple random games just because.

In Sams defense he has scored 12 TDs in 6 games where Jimmy scored 2 in 10 games.

Sam has also won 3 games out of 6 where Jimmy won 1 out of 10. The other victory that year was Matt Moore’s against SF.

Not saying he is good, just saying not Clausen bad.

Clausen also didn't turn the ball over nearly as much. They both fail to score points, though, which is why we can't win when they're out there. Clausen had the benefit of a respectable coach, albeit one who'd mailed it in even more than his players at that point. Darnold has the PJ Walker of coaches.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
