I wouldn't be surprised...

...if Brian St. Pierre starts for the rest of the year.

"Why?" you ask.

Because he's the ideal John Fox quarterback.

He tends toward safe, high-percentage passes and isn't flashy or risky. Unfortunately, this type of quarterback often doesn't move the offense very well.

Plus, he isn't a rookie (even if he can only be loosely defined as a veteran).

Fox may surprise me and start Clausen or Pike, but much as I hate to say it, I would not be shocked at all if it's St. Pierre till the end of the season.

If Fox isn't fired tomorrow, he would be if he didn't name Jimmy Clausen the starter the rest of the season.

For those of you hoping for Tony Pike, Fox put the nail in the coffin this week. If he can't beat out Jimmy Clausen when he's hurt.... he never will this season.

Clausen if nothing else needs to get a good hard look to make sure the Panthers don't otherwise waste next year's pick on a quarterback.

I think Clausen is someone they can build a franchise around but understand how many of you think gambling on a new drafted qb will somehow fix all of the problems on offense. I would love to see them bring in a veteran QB to either compete for the starting spot with Clausen or mentor him like Brunell does Sanchez in NY and Jake does McCoy in Cleveland and Feeley does Bradford in.... well you get the picture.

Fox hopefully is done...if clausen doesn't start from here on out, hurney should go too. Clausen has talent, it just needs to be developed by proper coaching.

this isn't similar at all. who the *** is st pierre? what has he done for this team?

i'm mad at the team, not you....lol.

He's a veteran (not really, but compared to Clausen and Pike, yeah) and he's geared mainly toward safe passes and a "game manager" attitude.

Does that make him the best man for the job? Not really. But it might be enough to swing Fox.

Nobody foresaw him starting this week either.

Edit: the point is now moot, and I'm happy to be wrong on this one.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
