Clausen was projected as a potential first-round pick but several teams backed away citing concerns about ego, selfishness and leadership qualities.

"Some of the stuff with Jimmy goes back to high school and some of these guys get smoke blown up them and they think they are young and famous,'' Fox said. "Now they get here and it's rich, young and famous , that's a recipe for disaster. I spend more time with that kind of stuff than X's and O's. I'm not the lone ranger in this league in that. I look forward to Sunday's, to the games. That three hours makes up for all of the other crap.

"I don't see that being the case with Jimmy. I'm really excited to watch him play. He's got a good head on his shoulders.''

weis said that.

i got no problem with a qb having an ego, sounds like maybe him and smitty are made for each other. this team needs an attitude, and if jimmy brings it...then so be it. maybe he will be a troy aikman instead of a jeff george. it's been a while since ryan leaf, maybe the yang just took a little long to get around the sun this time.

hmmm...it looks like jimmy doesn't have any of the supposed attitude problems that were advertised. hopefully all the talent is as advertised. we could really be on to something special if it is.

at the very least it seems fox has partook in the koolaid.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      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.

      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.
