Makes me feel better every time I read it.

Its sad to say but I did watch some of the rams game yesterday. Their offensive line looked much better than ours...God what has the world come to?

If Bradford had taken one of those weak side safety blitz shots that Clausen took in the second half yesterday, he'd still be on the field.

Hmm. Interesting read. Unfortunately, there's something that makes me not feel better about the two comparisons:

http://www.nfl.com/players/jimmyclausen/profile?id=CLA709185

TDS - 0/INT - 2/YDS - 247/Completion % - 47.9/RTG - 46.1

http://www.nfl.com/players/sambradford/profile?id=BRA101548

TDS - 4/INT - 5/YDS - 655/Completion % - 59.0/RTG - 68.1

Now... granted... Clausen has only one start. But his numbers are on par with Bradford's numbers for the same reps.

I think the long and the short of it is this... they're both rookies and are playing as such. They both have a long ass way to go before we know if they are average/great/busts.

...and Clausen was a rookie QB getting his first start in a wet, sloppy mess yesterday while Bradford was playing in a dome.

And? I'm not saying Clausen is worse or better than Bradford. I'm saying they are both Rookies and play as such. I'm saying that to point out that people who expect these cats to come out of the draft throwing for 400 yards and 6 TDs are being unrealistic.

Well if they would have kept Vincent we'd have the same line that allowed us to run all over the Vikings and Giants...suprised people aren't making any Trade Gross threads.

I'm not making any "trade Gross" threads because I think he will be back 100% next season.. his knee surgery is taking longer to gain strength than anticipated, I'm sure.

I still don't know why we thought Bernadeau was an upgrade over Vincent.

    • I think a premier ILB in the Panther's tradition (Beason, Mills, Luke, Morgan) would be the best pick and the best way to improve this team. Here me out---those of you screaming for QB need to realistically approach the situation.  We are not drafting a QB early barring a late season Young meltdown.  Bryce is getting a fifth year--and he will start in 2026 and probably in 2027 barring some major meltdown.  This season has a ton of "fallen angels" or QBs with the skill set to develop into an NFL starter.   In the second or third round, you draft your possible qb of the future.  Scratch these probable first rounders: however, the next six or seven have tremendous potential, and if you draft a QB like the Packers do and develop him for 2-3 seasons, these QBs would give us an upgrade at #2 QB and 2 years to groom him in the event Bryce does not earn a huge second contract. About WR:  Coker is a solid #3 and Horn gives us a thrilling option on STs and in the slot.  He was a nice pick.  TMac needs a strong #2.  XL does not seem that interested in the job, and he seems a bit over his head in the NFL.  Yes, we could use a solid WR, but I am not sure a rookie.  I think we pinch some pennies and redo some OL contracts and make WR our biggest priority in free agency.  Draft a sleeper late. Tight End:  Do we have enough there?  I really like Mitchell, but I am not sure about Sanders and Tremble is who he is.  Do we have a threat?  I think Bryce loves his checkdowns and underneath routes--he's not had a Stud TE.  I want one.  (platonic)  They are usually still available in round 3. Safety:  Not sure we have the center fielder we need at FS.  Moehrig and Ransom might be the same thing.  And if it were not for Doc in "Back to the Future," nobody in Charlotte would ever say "Great Scott!"  We need a smart, defensive QB at S, in my opinion. Of course, OL (center, T) could be in play, but I like Mays as the starter at C and Moton could play another season or two.  We need to start grooming guards, but we have depth there now. My draft day order, by position: Linebacker  Have we ever been good without the best ILB in the NFL?  I don't think so. (3-4 now, but we run some 4-3 looks) QB #2 with long-term starting potential  (I like so many second-tier QBs.  one or two of them will become NFL starters.  Mark my words) Tight End  (lotta folks might disagree here, but a big-time, viable option to go with Mitchell, Sanders, and Tremble) Safety  (we need a QB for the D--Moehrig and Ransom are similar) Tackle (Moton is getting old and we need to start grooming a potential replacement) WR  (this late IF we sign a free agent) Center (I like Mays, but his contract status and the depth at C needs to be addressed)    
    • I would be fine with that, the kid can sling the rock.
    • Panthers open as 4.5 point favorites. You get three points for being at home so Vegas thinks we are only 1.5 points better than the one win saints..  Tells you what they think about the team and our ability to score
