Matt Moore gets Hurt and Jimmy has to play out the season.... What Happens?

[AKPantherFan]

Pretend everyones Angel "Matt Moore" gets hurt early, and Jimmy goes in....

What would your expectations be?

For me- Not much, but it would prove to be some exciting football just because of the unknown.

And for the record I dont wish that to happen, Jimmy needs AT LEAST a year holding a clipboard.

If Matt Moore gets dinged up I hope Huinter Cantwell can step right in . Maybe then we can see some Long Balls.

Once you reach the age of 50, you should be seeing plenty of long balls...especially after a hot shower.

I would bench Jimmy Clausen, Put Beason as Running back in the wildcat offense and watch him trample over a helpless tracy porter to the endzone.

Cantwell before Clausen until Clausen proves otherwise. And based on what little I've seen out of Cantwell, I think the guy has potential.

We put a second round pick into a guy that was supposed to be a first-round pick and ran an offense very similar to ours in college. Cantwell is #2 on the depth chart right now because he's been with the Panthers longer than Clausen has, and Fox will initially stick with the veteran. Clausen will be our #2 QB once we go into the season.

Now, if Moore gets hurt, then we'll probably "dumb" down the offense a bit and rely more on the running game. With a stout offensive line and a top-notch running game, we should be able to support Clausen until he gets a firm grasp on our offense and we can open things up some more.

Go with who ever the better player is...its pretty simple.

Even with the best rushing attack and best defense in the NFL all the while throwing the ball the least amount of times out of any starting QB, Mark Sanchez still had the typical rookie QB season.

So Clausen would be fun to watch but there would be some games where he just gets mauled. Hopefully he doesn't have to play this season unless he's really the better guy.

And we should all feel confident that what Clausen might give us wouldn't be any worse than what Delhomme did give us last year.

I would want Jimmy to play. Hunter Cant-do-well has been a mediocre college player and a NFL backup for a reason.

You invested a 2nd round pick on a "franchise QB" and it's not like our o-line is awful and he'll be running for his life.

I seriously would expect a good year statistically from him. Not so much a Matt Ryan rookie year but more TD's then Int's and about 2500 yds.

Don't you wish that evil on us Ricky Bobby

[PhillyB]

wtf is the fascination with hunter cantwell?! granted we haven't seen clausen in action yet, but based on everything we know it'd be insane to assume cantwell is a better option

[rayzor]

better than mark sanchez last year.

Good question about Hunter Cantwell. What is the fuss? Well, he might be a diamond in the rough. He has better tools than our other QBs. He has spent some time getting used to the offense. Don't take him lightly. His work ethic is phenomenal.

It would not hurt Clausen to spend a year as #3. He needs the perspective. We have the luxury of developing Clausen and not risking Ryan Leaf/Tim Couch/Joey Harrington/Jamarcus Russell/David Carr/ etc. etc. syndrome.

One of Clausen's "problems" is entitlement, so they say. He is so good he has never had to compete for a job. We won't get his best until he does. Cantwell is working his butt off, and Clausen needs to know that he better as well. I am not saying he is not, but I am saying that you don't know what fighting is until you have fought for your life.
