My theory on why Pierre is starting

Recommended Posts

1. Pike did not go above and beyond to distinguish himself from Pierre in practice.

2. It's a convenient way to avoid a QB controversy the following week. Even if Pike doesn't play well, many fans will want to see more and at this point Fox wants to take QB off the table.

Pierre = stop gap measure

You make a lot of sense. Fox'll want to put Claussen back in next week and on track for finishing out the season.

The season's a wash, but he might be able to save any chance Claussen has of becoming a starting quarterback after this year.

In the meantime, St. Pierre is the sacrificial lamb.

    • I binged the entire series, including Ep 9, this afternoon. It's a hockey version Hard Knocks, but well worth the watch.
    • People seem to forget that Wallace is still 23 and will not turn 24 until February 2027.  There were a lot of players drafted who are older. 
    • The only thing I can say about Bryce is this. He has gotten a little better every year.  Still not great, but better.  And in his first season, he had one of the worst group of receivers in Panthers history, with Thielen being the only one that could get open and catch the ball.  They might have been worse than the group that Newton had to deal with in 2017.  This will be the the first year in Young's history with the team that the group of receivers he throws to hasn't gone thru major upheaval.  Assuming no injuries.  Because of that, I expect improvement to continue.  Whether it will be enough improvement remains to be seen. Fans here say he can't throw it deep.  But we have seen him do it.  He doesn't have the best deep throw, but he certainly can throw it deep when he has time and an open receiver.  The deep ball to Legette against Atlanta was a beautiful deep ball.  You have to have receivers that can get open and catch the ball to throw it deep.
