My theory on why Pierre is starting

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.

If I am St. Pierre, I am scared, very scared. Looking at carolina, they have 2 qb's out, first 3 rb's out, and you have to stand behind the Oline that let this happen against Ray Lewis and the ravens defense. The guy just may very well call in sick Sunday.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By Mage · Posted

      JMO, I think it is lame as hell to publicly give up on the team and then crawl back when they win a few games. Like, how can you run a PANTHERS PODCAST and then give up on it during the season?    Yes, you can argue the Panthers prior to Week 3 hadn't done anything to deserve fanfare, but nobody made them run a Panthers Podcast.  They chose to.  So stick with it.  Instead they gave up and did so publicly.  Which is well within their right - but you can't then turn around and bring it back the same season.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      The crazy thing about football is it’s a team sport. But one position can make or break the game. And one of the best ways in doing that is by not giving the ball away and being able to run at 4-5 yard clips. Throw in a couple passes and next thing you know you’re in the red zone. Playing this way limits possessions to other(more dynamic) QBs too. And if your defense plays well that could equate to between 4 and six series. If you’re running that efficient, you can say, split the offensive production with the run or the pass. So by attempt byce accounted for his half of the yardage and Rico did too. Rico also managed to punch it in at the goal line. And you gotta give it to our oline and they’re running blocking and that’s without TMO! so the truth is, Canales and management figured out how to use Bryce’s strengths to compliment this run game to cover up his weaknesses in a way that is efficient. And our defense showed improvement against pretty formidable opponent the week after andy dalton gave it to buffalo. They are putting winning football on the field more often, and we are slowly becoming better each week. I hope they can keep it up.

      If only the Eagles collapse. I dont think it will happen though. I hate them as much. Ill root for the Chiefs if they play the Eagles this time around in the Superbowl. I hate those guys.
