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.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
