Every player thinks they should be a 1st round pick, its only natural. Jimmy does have a chip on his shoulder as he should. There was a smear campaign put against him that wasnt fair.

He should have learned something from watching Brady Quinn sit in that green room at the draft. Still sitting there while janitorial staff was vacuuming and cleaning up tables around him, waiting to hear his name called.

Claws will be just fine.

How bout this............he sets his ass on the bench and watches MM do his job and learns the PRO GAME. If he works hard and learns the play book and gains the other players respect.....he'll do fine. I could give a poo if his feelings got heart on draft day. Grow up..... and get the fug over it.

don't mind me....... I'm drunk.

I think a lot of people watch ESPN too much... and actually believe half the B.S. that comes out of their reporters' mouths. I do believe Jimmy Clausen was first round talent, and probably should've been picked somewhere around where The Golden Calf of Bristol was picked. I think The Golden Calf of Bristol and Clausen are about equal in talent, but their talents vary. The Golden Calf of Bristol probably has better physical skills, and Clausen can probably throw a cheeseburger 90 yards and be right on target. I think the media bears a lot of weight in the minds of fans, but not so much the NFL. I just think our Front Office does a wonderful job of scouting and doing their homework. Quite a few teams passed on Jonathan Stewart because of his toe injury the season before he entered the NFL... and we all see how that's turning out.

Regardless of what other people say, Clausen is gonna fit right in here with the Carolina Panthers. And I just think he's being a Carolina guy by accepting the fact that he was taken in the 2nd round, and is being paid 2nd round money. This is basically his Steve Smith situation. Everyone said Smitty would just be a return man in the NFL... everyone basically said Clausen can't be an NFL quarterback by passing on him. He'll let his play do the talking, mark my words.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
