John Fox Embarrassed? Not a Fan of Clausen?

Obviously he's embarrassed, as many of the guys who have any sort of pride or competitiveness associated with this team are... Including myself as a fan. Check this quote out from Foxy today:

#Panthers coach John Fox on small crowd: "I can hardly blame our fans"

Because he doesn't want to be here either.

I am also starting to wonder how much of playing Clausen despite his horrible play is his decision. This is speculative, but Clausen threw it away later in the game, I think it was in the 4th. Clausen was standing behind the line, who despite pressure, seemed to form a wall in front of him and nobody got through, FOR ONCE. Well, Clausen hopped around for a minute and then scrambled to his right I believe, then he stopped around the numbers, looked downfield and threw it out of bounds anyway, IIRC.

The camera went to Fox and when it showed him, he was standing there with his eyes closed like he couldn't believe it. Then he just shook his head and started walking around and talking on his headset. I don't know if that was directed towards the playcall, but I have a feeling it was more towards the guy in there executing it - Clausen. So, I'm wondering if Fox really believes Clausen is the best QB we have right now but the decision is out of his hands.

He also gave a less than supportive quote during the week on whether he believes in Clausen, I just can't remember it now. Regardless, in his statements and his reactions on Gamedays, I don't think Clausen is his guy... But, I guess he's just biding his time like he was in prison. WGAF.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
