(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.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
