Wondering about Clausen...

none of us know for sure what a new coach will do, nor what our rookies will do from here on out.

a lot of it will depend on drafts, who is available, and who the coach is. I personally do not think Moore will remain here, but I think part of that will be his choice too.

I was with you until this statement...

I'm just saying, with another coaching staff Colbert and Jarrett might have been decent WRs, but we will never know for sure. At least with a change coming to Carolina, Clausen might have a chance in the NFL. If the new coach even sticks with him or trades him, but at least he will have a shot somewhere.

Again, that is your assumption. I don't need to rehash all the reasons why I think Moore will stay.

Jimmy better step his game up or Pike will be the rookie QB everyone is talking about in Carolina.

Matt's play in the first half made me cringe. Jimmy's play in the second half made me feel shame. By the time Pike came in, I was so drunk all I can remember is the two horrible punts he threw. All three of them are putrid options to play QB in the NFL right now...

But that's life homie, at least Jimmy threw that nice pass to Smitty that was called back for no reason.

I wish we could put Jeff Davidson on IR.

I'm not sure how to respond to this...

Agree with others, Clausen is a WCO QB... Montana had a wet noodle for an arm and did pretty good in the right system. I'm not saying Clausen is Montana, he may be a bust - the jury is still out - but I think the biggest problem at the moment is that Clausen is a square peg and we are a round hole.

...I also think Clausen is a little shell-shocked from his time at ND. Turn on tape of just about any game he played at ND and you'll see him running for his life and/or getting drilled on about 80% of the snaps he took. I think this is the source of his happy-feet issue... he's got that ND clock in his head.

I thought he ran the same offense at Notre Dame? Him, Fox, Hurney, Weiss have all come out and said it's literally the same offense. Wasn't that a big reason he would come right in here and compete?

I think there is something else besides the offense that is his problem.

I thought Moore was done here before the torn labrum, now I'm sure he's done here and maybe done in the NFL?

Same concepts, but not the exact same offense... we run allot more play action then he was asked to run at ND and play action requires a big arm and the ability to make a read in a split-second and deliver the ball.

Having said that, I'm not sure he was well suited to this type of offense even at ND, which may have been the source of some of his problems, and those problems are only going to be magnified in the NFL.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Clausen would be a great QB if we would run a WCO - he's definatley got some issues right now that have nothing to do with the offensive scheme we're running (you can't fumble snaps in the WCO either).

Actually the labrum isn't that bad of an injury for QBs. It's on the inside of the shoulder and is far less severe/dangerous than a separated shoulder or a rotator cuff injury. There is no risk of it being habitual, like there is with Stafford and his shoulder problems or Bradford and his. Once it get's separated it can happen again just as easy but with this injury it's more of a one time thing.

I thought a torn labrum was the injury Brees had in SD and folks thought he might be done as a result of that injury?

I know he also had a torn rotator cuff, but I remember folks saying the torn labrum alone might have a significant impact on his arm strength, accuracy, etc...

Not sure about the Brees injury I just know it was his shoulder. I think everyone was just scared because they were unsure but more information has become available since then. Also they had Rivers in their back pocket so it made the decision easier.

The rotator cuff is the main issue, along with separations.

I would almost liken it to the ACL, MCL, and PCL. If you tear the PCL, it's almost no big deal because it doesn't require surgery and will heal on it's own (only the Labrum does require surgery) but the MCL and ACL are more dangerous, just like the separation and rotator cuff.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
