Yes, Clausen should start the rest of the season...

Matt Moore, for whatever reason, is not cutting it anymore. If it were missed catches, or extreme pressure on him I would be more forgiving. I was on the field today and could see his eyes clearly on every offensive play. On passing downs, they never scanned the field. They lock on one guy, the end. No idea why, I don't remember him doing this last season. He has regressed.

Clausen on the other hand made progressions. In the short amount of time he was in there, the offense had a new feel. They actually started to have a little swagger if only for a moment.

I was a big Moore supporter, but he no longer has my confidence.

Hey Foxy, keep Clausen in there. While your at it, hire a QB coach thats worth a damn to help him out. Is Vinny T looking for work?

Love,

Zod

I think it has to do with being a starter vs a back up. When Moore came in last year it looked like he took it step by step and made his reads. It looked like he was doing a lot of things that QB's are taught to do. He kept his head straight. Now he has the pressure to succeed, to prove he's better than Clausen, to prove he's the guy. As calm as he looks I think his nerves are in shambles. The play calling is definitely not helping but he is also not seeing open WR on the short throws, it looks like he's looking for the big play. I'd give him one more week.

It is clearly a rebuilding year. Its not easy finding anything about the Panthers that is running smoothly other than linebacker play. So why not put Jimmy Jam in there and let him get as much experience as possible this season, so that next season he can come out gun slinging.

I was a huge Moore supporter, but I think he's done... he can't handle the pressure. Our O-line still looked like feces but it looked a little better than last week I guess, so hopefully it looks even better next week. Clausen didn't look flawless, but he's a rookie and he still looked better than Moore did. I think he (Clausen) should start.. at least until December. Then we can let Moore take over again and light it up when we're 0-10 and the games don't matter

    • 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. . 
    • 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
