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.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
