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.

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.

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.

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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
