If you're going to bench Clausen, start Armanti

My first choice to start would still be Clausen, I think he needs a continuous string of starts if he's going to make some progress.

Other than him though, Edwards has a style all his own on this team and might provide the offense with a bit of spark playing QB, given his mobility. He might be able to roll out and keep defenses from just attacking the pocket. If he ends up throwing 7/20 for 40 yards, i mean, it's not like we haven't seen that before.

I guess you could go with Lurch but if we bench Jimmy it should be because we're trying to change the offensive approach completely, and Edwards is the only one that really provides that.

In lieu of starting Jimmy, Armanti, and Tony, why would you go with Wembley? He's a f**king fraggle, defenses won't know what the hell he's doing on the field, and that might distract them long enough for him to run a play and find the endzone.

Of course if you're a neurotic conservative nail-biting fiend who's deathly afraid of trying anything different you go with Moore so he can miss wide open receivers 10 yards away and lose field position faster than the Twins lost the ALDS, but then again, that would've defeated the whole purpose of starting Jimmy in the first place.

agreed, moore should be last choice. we know what we have there, lets try the others first and see what shakes out.

i still might put lurch in there ahead of edwards. not sure why. it might be because he might know the offense but then there isn't that much to know about it that all the other teams don't know.

i guess edwards would be alright. i just don't see davidson being creative enough or fox being wild enough to just let edwards do his thing unless there's only a couple games to go and we're screwed either way.

Thank GOD, you don't make the teams decisions.

Atarting AE before looking at the other QB's is laughable.

I think starting Armanti would make us look even more like a joke. I'm not saying he shouldn't see a few snaps just to see how we could potentially use him. However he's been training all this time to be a WR. There's no way he'd be ready to start. Giving up on Clausen and Moore completely for our 3rd round WR would make us look like complete fools.

Wait!! You mean those four years at App State he was really a receiver?!?

Whoa! And they said he was a QB!

Always lies everywhere!

i don't want to Atart edwards before looking at the other QBs. i want to start him big difference (i assume).

we know what moore can do. lets see what the other prospects can do. the season is a wash anyways. lets see what works and if it doesn't then we go with another untested one.

we've already looked at moore, right? not impressed with his being "the man" enough to give him the job back.

go start another thread about it, though. you know you want to.

You start Clausen the rest of the year no if's and buts about it. You made the choice to go to him on week 3, now you gotta follow throw. A carousel at QB is not going to improve anyone, and your still not gonna know what you got at QB.

Clausen needs to start the rest of the season, and you hope that by the last few weeks of the season he starts showing his true potential.

As unfair as it was to Moore, 3 starts doesn't make a career, and you have to let the kid take his lumps and grow.

Obviously you didn't see that the Panthers have Wembley the Fraggle on the roster. Jimmy Clausen is a waste of my time as a fan, if a Fraggle is on the roster.

Get that little bastard on the field!

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
