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

    • I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.   
    • The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't. 
    • I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
