(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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
