He won't light it up. He will have had a few days of practice with the starters. Bradford and Sanchez have had months with thier starters as rooks by this point and neither one looks particularly great.

B-b-b-but Clausen is the Chosen One!

I don't think we'll win but I think Clausen will have a solid game. I think he'll have at least 1 INT and hopefully at least a TD.

And what happens when he looks and plays the part of the rookie that he is? What happens when he sees actual game speed starters and gets crushed a couple times?

Is everyone gonna start screaming for Moore again? I mean, WTF, people have been clamoring for Clausen, now you got him and it seems the huge, overwhelming assumption here is that he's the next great white hope of Charlotte. The odds are not in his favor and I'm just wondering how long it takes before the Charlotte fickle- oops, I mean faithful- discover they've once again pinned their hopes against the odds.

Difference is Clausen is a rookie whom, in my humble opinion, is playing as good as if not better than the Panthers version of a Vet! If we are going to hang up the season, which after losing to the YUCS we may as well, why not get our young, promissing, rookie some much needed game exp and see what he has?

Please explain to me how keeping him on the bench at this point is going to do us any good?

He's actually had plenty of reps with the ones throughout training camp and practice after the season started. That's usually what you do with backups. They're always the backup plan, and them not having any reps with the ones would just be dumb.

I personally think he's gonna get Steve Smith his first 100yard game of the season though. They've got a lot of chemistry it seems. Every photo I see of Clausen, Smith's right next to him almost every time. And one of the differences between Clausen and Moore is that Clausen knows how to check it down better than Moore.

They have the best CB tandem in the league and our gameplan will likely be to pound the rock. 12/21 188 yards 1 td 1 int 0 fumbles.

You think if he had those stats everyone on this board wouldn't consider that "lighting it up?" Thats percisely what i mean in this thread. If he has those stats, yes its awesome, but don't go thinking he is the next coming of Jesus Christ to the Carolina's.

      Rookie Mini Camp

      He wasnt asked to do much in the Ga Tech offense. Based on his highlights he's capable of 50 yard dimes which is sure as hell refreshing given what we're used to.

      I noticed Canales commented on King having a live arm. Weinke coached him and said he could make any throw an NFL team would ask him to make.  His mechanics and general process of throwing looks a little wonky to me though. Haven’t really zoomed in on that though to say more.     Brazzell, his hands look at least decent to me and of course his speed is there.   Love his balance.  Like a cat, always comes down on his feet. Not his butt.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By strato · Posted

      If Veabel is the father the name, unfortunately…. well you are looking at Mike Jr.    I feel bad for the husband And the kid though. Especially the kid who had no hand in anything and is just a victim.   Most people would develop some pretty big issues around the chaos of finding out nothing you were told about your father was true and you have been calling the wrong guy Dad.  And trusting your mother, well that is over too.     She should be permanently burned as a reporter or rumor reporter. Whatever she I was.    Who can trust anything she says?   Vrabel has outed himself as a total phony. No credibility whatsoever.
