Whats with all the Clausen hate??!!

[Nu Guns]

I want Matt Moore to start, but I am also very happy with our QB depth.

Hurney was very smart to pick Clausen up...great value at a great price!

28TDS 4 INTS on a shyt team is pretty damn impressive.

He has been cocky and a bit immature at times, but hes now in the NFL. There is plently of coaches and players to guide him now.

Its not like hes T.O.

His personality may be a bit like Phillip Rivers...but his play on field may very well match Rivers as well.

Its just a great situation all around.

We have been lacking at qb for years and now we people debating on who we should start.

I have never been this excited to watch pre-season football.

Makes me almost change my mind about minimizing the pre-season, I cant wait to see them all play!!!

Obviously, you haven't seen all the new avatars around here. I'd say it's a split.

I don't hate him I'm just pulling for Moore because he's earned the right to be my panthers QB. People are acting like Moore isn't talented enough to be franchise QB here and that's bvllsh1t. Just because he has the UDFA label doesn't mean sh1t. David Carr was #1 overall and he's trash. I just feel like the guy deserves some loyalty, he's not getting it from the FO(through their actions) or the media. He could at least get it from the fans.

It's not hate...it's just that people are getting offended when other people think Clausen will play more than Moore...or think they're insulting Moore's ability. It's more butt-hurt feelings followed by anger more than anything else. People forget we're all Panthers fans here, it's just some of us are more objective in their opinions, while others bleed Panther blue and haven't warmed up to the n00b QB yet.

Good Post, Nu.

[Baschski]

This fanbase doesn't know how to handle having a blue chip QB on the roster.

Matt Moore numba #1 F U JIMMEH "HASN'T COME OUT OF DA " CLAUSET!111!!1

[ucanefan]

I used to be a hater and think he's overrated but I think he's a great fit at Carolina and will have a legit NFL career, unlike Sam "my arm hurts" Bradford

[thedynasty]

if jimmy plays hes earned it. its not like they are going to automatically start him. so if he plays then hes better. plain and simple. they arent going to throw him out there if he cant win games

I feel the same way. Jimmy is a man. Plain and simple. I could give two shits how he acts off the field.. He could party with people like the situation and Pauly D on the Jersey shore and I still wouldn't give a fug.

Watched every Notre Dame game that was on T.V. this year and he impressed me. If he had an actual D he would have been in a BCS game. He did his job and didn't seem like the cocky asshole that everyone depicts him to be.

I just don't understand this..

What happened to may the best man win?

When it comes down to it, all that matters is that the guy that gives the team the best chance to win plays.

Whether Jimmy Clausen or Hunter Cantwell, I just want to finally see a QB come in for this team that absolutely lights it up this season!

[littlebigman89]

I like Clausen's potential to be good, actually very good. I don't think anyone has earned the right to be the starter. I think they let all the QBs fight it out in camp, best one wins, no matter who it is. Talent should win out, although they just handed the job to Delhomme, even when he didn't deserve it. I feel bad for Moore, just because when Delhomme was here, he had no one to push him. They told Moore he's the starter, but have brought in guys to make a run at the starting job. Jake Delhomme never had that pressure.

Nah, if anything you should be surprised to see people around here not bitching about something...
