Congratulations Jimmy Clausen

[CRA]

if you take out the 1 play to Stewart where they forget to account for him.

he still stared down and threw to his first read on almost every single throw. also, he consistantly showed no ability to grasp the playclock situation during many points in the game.....which hurt us late. A lot of time was burnt off the clock....even if he completed the pass there would have been no time to spike the ball on the throw to Jarrett....he gave us no chance at the end. That is scenario rookies should grasp b/c it is no different than college or even high school situations late in games. He struggled getting Smith the ball.

he didn't turn it over which is a positive.

doesnt a first down stop the clock in college?

[Mother Grabber]

He had a few batted down and made some questionable plays, but for the most part looked good. Looked better than last week, and should just keep getting better and better.

Really, you can't expect much more from a rookie making his second start in that environment. JC missed a few throws, but he will learn as he goes.

I sure wish Davidson would help him out a little bit with the play calling though. For instance, they ran a screen for a nice gain on the first play of the game, but they never ran another one that I can remember. More of that would certainly help JC and the O-line against an aggressive defense.

[Woodcookedbbq]

He's certainly doing better. He made some big plays, held on to the snaps, didn't throw it in coverage. Just have to coach him to move with a sense of urgency.

[Lords0fPain]

Lets not forget the low passes

Absofrickinlutely.

no screens for the rest of the game. two things can account for this:

1) JC used the audible to get out of them (why?)

2) davidson is what we think he is.

Which do you think is more likely? heh.

he scaned the field well, i don't know where you get he staired down anyone...not targetting Smitty my be the saving grace...we all complain about how the QB's focus on one guy...Smitty; we have one now that doesn't and its a bad thing????? I'm lost

BTW, DJ sucks

BTW2, Gettis, for the last two games has looked better than the aging / fragile...Smitty

HATE ON!

[mav1234]

about Smith:

they were trying to get him involved. I guarantee he gets another 2-3 balls thrown his way if he doesn't get injured.

I really liked that they were working to get him involved even on short plays.

The thing is, in the past Panthers QBs had the time to let Smith get open, because he will with time. However, Clausen almost NEVER has a pocket to work in, which negates a lot of Smith's speed and allows coverage to blanket him.

We desperately need Otah back.

[Zaximus]

The coaching is absolutely HORRIBLE. The Rams are doing the right thing with their rookie QB and throwing a lot of screens, how is that working out? VERY well and they don't have very great WR's either.

[Happy Panther]

Gettis looked great.

Pickles managed the game pretty well

Best game yet still 0-4

[Cat]

Could of been much worst. Needs to work on his game management skills but no turnovers or huge mistakes makes it a good 2nd start for a rookie QB. Of course it's not like he was throwing the ball all over the place either.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

I liked what I saw from Clausen. Clock management in NO during a last minute drive is a damn tough for any QB let alone a rookie. The kid is going to get better and improve every game, without a doubt. It's important that the running game get going and that will open things up big time.

Have faith in 2.
