Interesting. Did'nt see what happened.

After reading it...it would seem that he is a smart QB. Dos'nt want to force it and when he did it gor picked last game. I think he will play smarter from now on. Hope so anyway...

Looked like Clausen was more comfortable with finding LaFell than throwing to Smith where he could get intercepted because of double coverage. Smart play on his part.

With the way our receiving corps is set up it's hard for a rookie to throw to a number 1 whose double teamed...it'll be much easier when he gets more comfortable and confidence in his abilities but now with no stand out number two its going to be a struggle.

Yea I agree as per my edit. I think he's going o be a very good QB. In time though.

That interception early on was just one excellent play by Hall. When I saw it, I couldn't really get mad at Clausen.

After that game, I was more hopeful about the future of our WRs. We do have some good ones. I hope they're more supportive of Jimmy, the next few weeks are critical in how he develops in this league.

Not only that but the more he spreads the ball around maybe other DCs will have to start covering our others wideouts and not double Smith so much. Giving him a chance to get open more.

wow...he says all the right things...he did try to force it, he realized it, said he can't do that anymore....and moving on

I know Smitty wants the ball, but a lot of the time the problem with our QB's has been the tendancy of "focusing on one reciever"...which they have a right to do so...but....YOU CAN"T DO THAT.

Jimmy really impresses me, he really does

smitty spits venom

"It was said that I was just about to 'go off,' and I wasn't," Smith said after Wednesday's practice. "I thought it was interesting because here, I was obviously agitated and frustrated, but sometimes people think they know me better than I know myself. I think that's a joke, and I think the people that reported it are jokes."

I agree he just needs prove it on the field.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
