So know we have 2 young QBs with no confidence

I know we have no receivers but I felt Matt Moore was pulled too soon. Now we are in a situation with both young starters looking over their shoulders with every bad pass.

I have yet to see a pass that Clausen can make that Moore can't. And several that Moore can that Clausen can't. Clausen's arm was a big question mark coming in and it's obvious that he has to "heave" the ball with a lot of body to get a pass out to the sidelines. He also tends to drop back into the pocket and instead of watching his reads, tucks the ball as the pocket forms and starts to scramble. He just isn't ready. Not his fault.

On a bright side Jeff King got another false start to start a drive and Jordan Gross didn't. To my knowledge.

Discipline seems to once again be lacking with this team. Poor tackling, stupid penalties and once again the worst special teams in the league.

Just my thoughts. I hope we can keep at least Stewart or D Will but its not looking great.

Cheers!

I expected this to happen once he was drafted... a lot of us were. After 08, I didn't expect this situation to happen, mainly cause I expected for us to go hard after a receiver.

One of the worst situations to have with a team, a young team at that, is a QB controversy. Smh

They should complete a couple of passes to ugly receivers to get their confidence back.

Agree. I don't know if there has ever been a more pathetic core of receivers without Smitty on the field. Would be nice to have Otah back too.

I felt today they should have stayed with the wildcat. Why not? You obviously won't score with a conventional method.

Made a prediction before the game that we wouldn't pass for 50 yards. Everyone said I was crazy but I think if that wasn't spot on it had to be close.

I didn't see the Bradshaw comment but kind of remember hearing it. My main concern is that he seems to "tuck and run" almost every pass.

I said after game 2 that it was too early to start Clausen. He isn't seeing things quick enough. He needed to hold the clip board a little longer. The proper transition would have been to let Moore start through this game and if he doesn't turn it around start Jimmy after the bye week. Today he was too quick to check it down and appeared to play scared.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
