Fox: Clausen will remain Panthers QB


Laetitia

Recommended Posts

(By Joseph Person, [email protected]) John Fox has three games left as the coach of the Carolina Panthers - and he plans to start Jimmy Clausen at quarterback in each of them.p/Despite Clausen's ongoing struggles and sagging confidence, Fox is sticking with the rookie from Notre Dame as the Panthers (1-12) try to snap a seven-game losing streak Sunday against Arizona.

I don't know.....the way they are running if they limit Clausen's drive killing throwaways and just run (like on the scoring drive against Atl). Carolina could beat AZ.

First I do think Carolina can win the game against AZ. That being said , no matter how good the run game is, the Panthers are still going to have to be able to throw the ball. Even against the Falcons except for the one TD drive, despite the great running game in the 2nd half - once they got downfield Clausen had to make plays to keep drives going. The same will happen this Sunday. The running game will get its yards and plays, but eventually you need to be able to throw the ball. Otherwise they team will maybe get another TD and just a bunch of FG's.

OH , how I hope Cincy beats Cleveland. Come on Jake.... help us out. Gives us a couple of fumbles and at least one pick six.

Who needs Luck, the overhyped college QB.

I still think he's more overrated than Clausen was. Clausen was "NFL-ready," Luck is "HOF ready." At least next year we'll be saying keep starting Luck, we'll be closer to getting Matt Barkley, a real star! Then in '12 we'll be saying keep starting Barkley, we'll be closer to getting Taylor Martinez, a real star!

We could pullout the playbook from the game at Atlanta in Weinke's last start. After watching the camera show Fox's reaction to Jimmy throwing it away on Sunday......I am certain he has considered it.

regardless of what Mel Kiper said, TONS of people thought Clausen had bust written all over him. Why do you think so many teams that needed a QB passed on him.

Teams won't pass on Luck.

    • Another Guard?? Small ball was just a meme right?????   Again can anyone confirm Kon had more than 2 dunks for the season?? I watched more highlights and saw lots of layups. Did see one thunder dunk tho...   Jeff just needs to finish this off-season with a guard package trade for a PF/C. Call Portland, that's a start!
    • XL treatment is in the top 5 What The Fuccks for the the huddle. It just happens that the 32nd team and 33rd team GMs knew each other very well. Panthers viewed the 5th year option as being worth a late 6th and a trade was made to make XL a 1st rounder.  He had injuries in OTAs, mini camp and TC. Like others had more injuries in season and just kept playing. Half the season was bad BY and dalton. He still had 500 yds, 5 TDs, and like 45 recs.  Just super weird the treatment. BTW people love to focus on the bad plays, but there was only one WR that caught a TD on the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, can you guess who that was?? By many accounts the Pats wanted XL badly and had to select Polk instead, there's strong rumors that Polk is either going to be cut or traded for a 2078 7th rounder. Panthers could have easily been in this situation if not for the Bills allowing the trade up. It pays to have friends.... I feel XL will force some fans to plates of raccoon as he develops. (please stay healthy)
