What role? He got lucky with a terrible check down pass to Goodson and a heave up to LaFell.

He does NOT look like an NFL QB. He looks like he is lucky not to trip coming up to the line.

Thank god for this loss. We need luck...or else, we will suck ass for several years with Clausen and the helm.

Jimmy killed it on 3rd down conversions. His so called checkdowns look like designed plays by Jeff Davidson. When called upon to throw the deep ball to win the game, Clausen came thru. Goodson helped alot, but hell somebody has to step up when our o-line is playing like garbage and your playcaller is Davidson.

Alot of hatred from Jimmy thats unwarranted.

I think Clausen played safe and was afraid to go down field. However at the same token he was pressured all game on the occasions he was about to go deep he got sacked so I don't blame him fully. Davidson also continued to waste our 2nd downs which put further pressure on Clauseon on 3rd down.

the announcers called the game right. clausen made plays, got banged up way too much, still a rookie.

yes he is still hesitant to throw downfield but think about it... he's got rookie receivers who are still learning how to acheive separation and one great receiver that is perpetually double teamed. if he was throwing to TO and Ocho I would get more upset about Clausen playing it safe. but these receivers are just not getting separation as pointed out by the announcers and the offensive line (and goodsen blocking) isn't giving jimmy enough time.

this isn't an excuse for losing. but what you are seeing is slow progress by all of the rookies. sooner or later the progress will collectively start paying off. should have been a win today, it will happen soon.

Ya it seems like everyone wants Jimmy to play a perfect game and have crazy good stats before they'll deem him as a good qb.

You have to understand that this simply wont happen under Davidson/Fox, our current o-line and young recieving core.

Half you guys bitch and moan about Davidsons playcalling, except for when Jimmy's at the helm, cuz if he's at QB he takes all the blame.

Most of the game we ran on 1st and 2nd and on back to back drives 3rd as well.

2 drives, 2 3 and outs with not 1 single pass attempt.Cant blame any qb for that.

So most of Jimmys chances came on third down under immense pressure. He did fairly well in those regards. He was also robbed of one on the sideline catch that was challenged and ended up being botched by the officials.

Jimmy did throw a few short passes to Goodson, these are called smoke routes/screen plays-designed for him to do that. So he wasnt neglecting anyone downfield.

did he play perfect? No

but once you consider all the facts and look at it objectively he did very good running the plays that were called by Davidson.

So Crucify Davidson, not Jimmy. He did his job and looked good doing it to me.

    • That is just Panthers history pain speaking.
    • From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.    
    • not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
