One thing that Clausen can do that no other Panther QB could

Screen passes.

My goodness, the screens we ran today when he was playing were works of art. Mostly, because of lowered expectations from Panther screens. But his footwork and vision effectively sold two screens that led to two decent gains.

I know this isn't much, but at this point I need something to make me feel better.

I hear ya on that. Jake couldn't throw a HB screen to save his life either.

I meant to mention this earlier but I was busy shitting on ownership and coaches...

But yeah, you're right... That screen to DWill was the best HB Screen we have ever ran in the history of this franchise. And that's not being caught up in the immediacy of the moment, I'm serious.

They looked like pros out there ;)

I hear ya about needing something to make me feel better. That is what I like about Clausen.... just the fact overall he could be a franchise QB.

I was never on the Moore bandwagon. I held out hope he could prove my thoughts wrong. I just think there is a big difference between winning games at the end of season when it only counts for the other team vs when its the beginning or mid season when it counts for both. I held out hope he could build on that but it looks like that is not going to happen.

At this point there is nothing to lose by starting Clausen. He cant be any worse than Moore. Man this sounds just like last season when Jake was horrible and Moore couldnt be any worse then him.

Of course bad QB play is only part of the problem with this team.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
