If Fox starts Pike, or he starts Clausen...

What does this say about the one he doesn't pick, since I've read on RotoWorld that supposedly whoever he starts this week will finish out the season?

If he starts Pike, does this mean Clausen will have to settle for being the likely #3 QB next year with the new coach?

If he starts Clausen, do we wave bye to Pike?

Fox hates Clausen more than TRD, PFFL and P55 combined, just about.

I thought Fox hated Pike?

Both have looked poor. Really can't justify starting one over the other.

I mean, I guess it doesn't matter. Clausen has more NFL experience over Pike, but that's not saying much based on how he has played.

Either way, they were both drafted this year. Our QB situation is just awesome.

Dammit.

He looks for excuses not to play Clausen, obviously his stats are good for that but seeing if he can develop is not something Fox is interested in, he doesn't want Clausen to become a decent QB and kick the ass of the team Fox coaches next year. Pike could be a good QB but he is so weak-armed he makes Moore or Clausen look like Favre or Manning. Refer back to the preseason game @PIT for details.

I know there is talk about the "possibility" of starting Pike, but I don't see that happening.

I think they're just trying to keep the Bucs guessing so they can't focus 100% on tape of Clausen. Raheem Morris said in his conf call with reporters that they are watching tape of both Pike and Clausen at the moment, so each minute they spend watching tape of Pike is a minute they don't spend watching tape of Clausen...

    • That depends on where he's at because if you look at his first 3 seasons before he got sick he had 49 rec as a rookie followed by 56 and then his pro bowl season he had 103 rec. If he's somewhere between seasons 2 and 3 then that wouldn't be bad at all. We'll have to wait and see but from the few clips I've seen and the comments I've heard and read I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. Personally, I'm really pulling for him and I think he's going to be the comeback player of the year. 
    • More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
