How many of u feel that if some how someway if Matt Moore has a horrible preseason and Jimmy Clausen won the starting job, would any u guys feel like the season was over....

Personally speaking i think we in the same boat either way with both going into the season. Matt did awesome things at the end of the year, the biggest thing i saw was the fact the coaches called a better game plan for him. They established the run and it worked out. With that said.... Jimmy is a rookie i get that.... but he knows the offense inside and out, ran it well all through out his ND career and he did put of numbers... big numbers... with a weak defense... and the plus side to starting Jimmy is teams havent had all offseason to prepare for him.

Just a thought.

I am counting us out regardless. This is not a playoff team. I am thinking 6-10 at best, sadly.

I agree, you can't just expect a so many rookies and extremely young players to step up and play like vets, some will but most wont and simply can't because they are much too young. They haven't made their mistakes yet. If it were this easy and cheap every team would be doing it. This is different than just a QB change.

I am hoping for a 8-8 record this year and hope a few players really make an impact in their positions so we can get a head start in the building process. To realistically try and see something more than that is surprising but not impossible.

Fortunately the QB position will not be the anchor that drags this year's team down.

When you have this type of young talent behind center, a great running game and a huge offensive line you will always have a chance because risks are going to be taken and competition or the potential for competition will eventually prove who has the goods.

This is going to be a very fun season to watch. Keep your expectations low as fun does not directly translate into wins unfortunately. However, we still do not know where the wins will come from.

I would rather watch a team that busts its ass to grind out 6 wins than a team that slouches on its laurels and repeatedly eeks out 8 any day.

We got a great running game and a better QB throwing to Steve Smith this year. We got a good pass defense and hopefully a couple people step up on the D line. We should have an awesome O line also. I see no reason we can't win 9 games and possibly even make the playoffs this year. Two great RBs behind a great line, one great WR, a QB who is hopefully decent and a defense led by Jon Beason that just needs to make a few plays. We drafted the young guys for a reason over the years, now it's their time to stand out.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
