The Arizona Cardinals coach said about his team, the biggest problem when he took over was overcoming the mind set of his players. He said that it was November and they were on their cell phones making plans for vacation in late January early February! There wasn't one player who was thinking abouit the Post Season. He said, that told him right there, that he would have to change their mind set and get them thinking about Post Season.

Dilfer believes Moore and Clausen can be successful in time, saying NFL quarterbacks need between 35 and 40 starts before they can be judged fairly.

Jesus that's a lot. Much better than the two this board gave Moore or the three it's given Clausen, but 35-40? I think you can tell before then. I'd say more like 19. Play a season, then start out the next on a short leash.

Funny they mention Clausen talking repeatedly about throwing the ball downfield. With his 4.9 yards an attempt and a total of only 4 of his 91 attempts going for more than 20 yardsm I wonder when he is going to take his own advice.

The reason he gets blitzed and people whine he gets no time to throw is because the defense doesn't respect his ability to throw downfield. They work hand in hand. If he actually did what he said he needs to do, it would take the pressure off him and give him more time to throw not less.

...because as we all know, Moore is a legend at throwing the deep ball.

In fairness, Moore is better at throwing the deep ball than Clausen.

Doesn't mean he's a better overall QB, but in that particular skill, Moore has the edge.

As far as the article, the part about how the games keep playing out the same way is telling (referenced in the "not smart enough" thread).

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
