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.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      Yes. It's fluff time anyways but it's getting a bit ridiculous. I don't believe this mix has ever worked for the Panthers before. Break .500 and then start the hype.

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.
