The Panthers are going back to Matt Moore to start this week's game against San Francisco, benching rookie Jimmy Clausen.

"We have struggled on offense since the beginning of the season," Panthers coach John Fox said. "Sometimes it helps to step back and watch, and Matt has had a chance to do that."

Moore was pulled after committing six turnovers in his first two games, but Clausen has been no better.

Clausen has three interceptions but has fumbled seven times, losing two.

For the season, Clausen has a 52.2 rating to Moore's 33.3.

The Panthers rank last in the league in total offense and points per game.

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
