Clausen compared to other QBs first NFL start


XClown1986

Recommended Posts

First NFL start statistics:

Troy Aikman- 17/35 180 yards no TDs 2 INTs

Tom Brady- 13/23 168 yards no TDs no INTs (followed by 12/24 86 yds no TDs no INTs and 2 lost fumbles the next week)

Not time to press the panic button yet folks. Lets give him a couple of more games to get acclimated.

(Can edit and add more, just got lazy)

I agree. He needs time and more games.

But we should also slow down the "Future of the Franchise" talk. Let's wait till he wins 2-3 games and start looking like Brady and Aikman started looking after they got their uglies out of the way before any more talk of Rookie of the Year awards or The Future.

Honestly I felt he wasn't ready yesterday. He wasn't ready as a starter despite Fox telling me he practiced just as much as Moore. Didn't look like he was ready for a full game just yet. But now that he's in, he should stay in.

Now at some point in the future I would like to see at least 1 win this year and I don't care who we have to put in or bench as QB to get it.

I think it's absurd they quit on Moore after 2 games in a year where the team is rebuilding yet stuck with Delhomme's poor play for nearly 2 years when the team was much stronger.

Moore and Clausen get blindsided 2-3 times a game and have terrible play calling and a stale running game going against them.

The fact they quit on Moore instead of fixing the play calling, run game and oline suggests they are incompetent and will simply throw Clausen to the wolves. I feel bad for Clausen. Hopefully with his mobility he will be able to avoid a serious injury.

i knew someone was going to say this....you know what the difference between delhomme and moore? while delhomme was a decent qb that got alot worse...moore is a NEVER was...he has never been good and does not have the history to fall back on...what are going to stick with a guy that you have never had faith in to begin with in the hopes that he suddenly plays better?

Regarding stats, also worth noting that Clausen finished with the same passer rating as Carson Palmer..actually a few ticks higher.

If the QB play was statistically equivalent, and one team won 20-7, there is obviously a lot else at play.

Moore played extremely well at the end of last season and played decent in a few appearances in 2007. Clausen made a few plays in preseason and in today's game but his QB rating is dreadful for every game he's played IIRC.

I think Moore and Clausen are both mediocre NFL QBs that won't do much without a well built offense around them which the Panthers don't have. At least Moore has had a good game before though.

Both QBs are young so I do not see the point in the QB change and giving a guy 2 starts before benching him is just weak unless he's losing games for you solely on his bad play.

This team is a joke though and it's pointless to argue about the stupid decisions this team repeatedly makes.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
