Clausen should start against the Titans...

Not really, but wouldn't this move make sense? I'm in the Matt Moore bandwagon camp, but wouldn't letting Jimmy play with the 'big boys' let us see what (if anything) we have for the season. We already know what Matt can do with the number ones, so give the kid a chance.

Anyone agree?

Point #2: We've heard enough about our ST problems, and I don't want to start a new thread about that, but...

In a situation that matters (for example, fourth quarter, 5:00 left, like against the Bills last year) why don't we have Smith return the punts? I understand why he's not back there for all of them, but why not for the important ones?

And, the making fun of me can begin now.

Once again coming from a Clausen fan I can't stand when people post completely misleading and/or fabricated thread titles. It's attention whoredom at its worst.

That said, Steve Smith would be a good punt returner except that he would be worth the 15 yard penalty for a backup specials teams guy to take out of the game on a fair catch.

Moore is going to be our starter so he needs to get the reps with the ones to get in sync with them. If MM's timing with the receivers was nearly perfect in the first two games I would understand your point some what. That obviously isn't the case though. The More times MM throws to a guy in preseason the less time it takes for him to get on the same page in the regular season.

There are two ways Clausen will start this season:

1. We lock up a first-round-bye by week 14, and the last two games we rest starters.

2. Moore tanks, are 4-6 by week 11, and he suddenly has a mystery injury.

I think you'd have to add a (3) for a bad record after week 5, with week 6 as our bye week.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
