Clearest sign of QB change (the sequel)

From the front page of Panthers.com: Quarterback Quandary

As has been said before, the team is very tight with what they allow to be published on site. Last year we saw three articles in a row talking about how much Delhomme was struggling and how good Moore was doing. And then you saw Delhomme released, pretty much shocking everyone.

The shoe now looks to be on the other foot...

I wish we could get an APB out to the crowd NOT to boo Clausen for at least a game or two. Rookies WILL make mistakes. If we boo him like we did Carr and Moore, that sure won't help.

I would also like it if every fan in the stadium turned toward Richardson's box, pointed, and let him hear it. Who wants to start a grassroots effort if the Bengals games goes bad?

I feel like we were still in preseason the last 2 weeks, and our regular season will start next week with Clausen at the helm. Hopefully we can turn things around and look like a completely different team. I know the oline plays harder when they are blocking for a QB that they trust, respect, and have faith will get the team points on the scoreboard.. and hell.. the defense will play harder if we are in the game, and our offense is scoring points.. so we could see a completely different team next weekend.

If Clausen wants the fans on his side, he needs to walk onto the field and look like he wants to win the game. Skills or no skills, experience or not, pedigree or NFL Europe cast off, it's about wanting the win and elevating a team to give it everything.

Say what you will about Delhomme, but that was what he had in spades, drive and the ability to elevate everyone's game around him. Win, oftentimes from behind, or lose spectacularly, he put it all in there.

I never got that from Moore. Calm, cool, collected. Yep, Moore had tons of that, and it serves a backup QB well, but you'll never win from behind if you can't get fired up.

Clausen, hope he's got it.

I just keep thinking back to what Zod posted at the beginning of training camp about how when the team was leaving the field and they had to climb the big hill, no one came running up the hill pushing them to run like Jake used to, and how everyone just kinda trudged.

It's time for leadership. And having a QB tutor since you were 10, or a big school pedigree with coaching connections from college to your current OC doesn't matter a bit if you can't inspire your running back to dive over the goal line from the 2 instead of trying to cut around the corner. And a beaten team down by two or three touchdowns to the Bucs at halftime won't answer the bell if they can't believe you'd rather die than lose.

C'mon Claussen, looks like you get to put on the Big Boy pants and start for 14 games. We're waiting for the chance to cheer wildly. Don't just ask us to believe in you, leave us no question.

      Curtis Samuel for me. Felt like he had so much untapped potential. Also Shi Smith, felt like he had potential too

      I honestly thought he would not make it this far, but he's a pure pro that's remained in the top half of RTs. If panthers agree that's worth 20,000,000 why not? It is full boat with the Icky, Walker, Motown, and Freelings...... The current best I see- Freelings is the LT of now and future. Motown stays another 5. Icky either moves to OG after Lewis or hunt is cut(but why?!?!). Walker is wildcard and he can not sit this season, so he's got to be traded at some point this season. LT has the same injuries as QBs in TC, but the main issue is the league put him at a 4 million value....... its a rough sell and panthers will have dead cap in any trade (around 2-3 mill). I think at the end, Icky walks... Dan is holding 4 of kind, in a game in which 16 Gms are wanting 1 of those. It mainly falls on freeling, if proves to the coaching staff he can play 17+ games.....You almost have to trade Walker or he'd be the largest cancer since "choosen" Anderson....
