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.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
