(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.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
