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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
