Rookies: Only 5 More Games


Anybodyhome

Recommended Posts

For all of the Clausen 'nad polishers- after 5 more games you no longer have the excuse that he's a rookie. No better time than the present to start thinking of excuses for next season... if he stays in Charlotte...

Feel free to try those excuses out here before going public with them, we'll let you know how they fare.

that's technically true, but on a practical level there's not much of an argument to be made :rolleyes:

and the truth is, i doubt anything clausen does in these last five games will influence what happens to him. the FO has got to be wary of anointing a late-season riser the starter for next year after the matt moore debacle. he will likely be on the roster as a backup option for the next year or two (as he should be) while he is learns the nuances of the position from an established veteran.

clausen is not starting material, but he has big potential. let's not forget that.

I'm stuck in a Catch-22. I want to see Clausen do well and improve. I also want to see the Panthers lose out and snag the first pick in the draft. Ironically, that means Armanti Edwards will have cost us the first pick of the second round, ouch.

Well, i geuss next year you can use the "Matt Moore just recovered from an injury excuse."

Everyone knows Jimmy will be here next year either Moore or Pike will be gone maybe both.

Sorry, nice try, but I don't use excuses. Thought you might pick that up from the sarcasm in the thread...

Matt Moore is not a starting QB in the NFL. Did not get the job done.

Jimmy Clausen is not getting the job done and should consider himself lucky to be on the team because he would not be starting for any other team in the league right now.

You almost have to start wondering....since the Panthers are paying him, if Clausen would have benefited sitting behind Jake for a season...or two. Because sitting behind Luck (or whoever) won't do much for him, but a vet would have gone a long way, like Rodgers in GB.

It would be great for the team if Clausen became the man, because then we could use our 1st round pick on a DT.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
