good. let this guy build up a little trade value.

best case he turns things around and turns into a complete stud...i'm not counting on it happening, though.

this team is done. i'm ready for a new fresh start. if the new coach wants luck. awesome. if he thinks clausen is something he can work with...meh...we'll see.

It's so funny to me how fickle fans are.....

Let's see, the Panther's haven't won with Moore (26) or BSP (30)... but Clausen (rookie/23) must suck because he hasn't lit it up this season.

Yes, another 23 year old rookie is the answer to our prayers. We don't need a veteran quarterback.

no fickleness here. i want the best. i don't want to be stuck with an inferior product just because he happens to be on the team. i don't want to stick with some guy just because we drafted him last year and we had no idea that we would be able to score the next great QB. i will not settle for 2nd best at any position. we need to constantly be trying to get better at every position.

if clausen had been here for a few years and was doing well, i might feel differently. but that isn't the case. he's only been here this year. no real vested interest in him. clausen can be a good QB. luck and be great. i want great.

btw...i want a vet QB in here as well. i want someone on the sidelines that can help the QB know what to look for out there. that is vital. it can help clausen fopr sure, but if we have a chance to get a better QB...we need to do it.

    • I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.
    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
