"I think a lot of people give him flak that don’t understand football or the responsibility he has," Gettis said. "He’s dictating where everything’s going and has to know every single aspect of it. I’m a receiver, all I have to know is my routes. He has to know everybody’s routes, where they’re going to be and when they’re going to be there. And he’s a rookie.

"I feel like the more time he gets, the more comfortable he gets. The more he sees, the less he has to think and he can rely on his God-given abilities, his arm, his strength and his accuracy."

It's not just the run, run, pass. It's the protection schemes and the routes. Panthers WRs have 1 route - 10 yard hitches. Sometimes when the TE runs a flag underneath the WR, the WR will run a go pattern. Not a whole lot to work with there.

The whole right side of the line is garbage. Jeff Davidson is an offensive line guru, which makes the situation even worse. I don't think the linemen know where to slide, but I guess that should be expected if your QB can't read a defense.

And see that's what I expected Clausen to do when he came here. I thought he had an edge because he was in a pro system. He was already knowing of how to read the D and make his pass. Obviously he dose not and prob why he fell so far in the draft.

He knows more about football than 99% of the people that post on here, and I'm pretty sure he knows how to spell "what"

all Gettis really said is Clausen is catching flak, is a rookie, and many don't understand how much an NFL QB is responsible for.

Jimmy ain't in college. He is a paid professional. A rookie drafted where he was and with his hype (as far as knowing a pro system)......he SHOULD have shown something more.

I think we should of been more patient with Jimmy and let him sit his rookie year like they did Carson Palmer. One positive about Jimmy is that he hasn't thrown more than one interception in a game and in the past three games has completed over 50% of his passes. Mark Sanchez I thought was horrible his rookie season and he had a great offensive line and way better offense than ours. He had 6 games with a qb rating of 60 or under and only had 4 games where he threw over 200 yards. Fact of the matter is that rookie qbs take time to learn the NFL game. Just because Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy are doing well their first season doesn't mean Jimmy is a bust. Eli Manning had a horrible rookie season and Peyton Manning threw 28 picks and had a 3-13 record his rookie season. With a change in our coaching department hopefully we will have a coach who can bring a good offensive mind and develop Clausen.

Sanchez threw TD in 12 of his 16 starts as a rookie.

Sanchez completed 50% of his passes in 12 of his 16 starts.

Sanchez wasn't good his rookie year. He had moments though. No one expects Clausen to be good. No excuse for him not having some moments of good by now.....and he simply hasn't.

Sanchez also had experienced wide receivers and a top run game which tends to help.

Still Eli Manning as I pointed out did have a horrible start and look what he can do now.

well, the jets also had top 3 run offense and defense to help him out. what do we have? nothing near that. Clausen has shown some promise but its hard when our offense is handicapped by bad playcalling, a broken oline, and a handful of first year recievers except smith.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
