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

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
