Universal whine about Clausen thread

I bet not ever hear another NFL expert say the Panthers are still trying to figure out if Clausen is the future, or if they should draft another QB. I've been on other NFL forums who are hoping their teams get a chance to draft Luck, and they say Carolina may stick with Clausen for another year. I got news for them, Clausen is the worst QB in the league right now, including among 3rd string QBs.

Any child can see Clausen is worst than Delhomme was for us last year. The only difference between Clausen and Delhomme was that Delhomme's interceptions were sometimes comical to watch. (Like the one that bounced off of Smitty's foot and into the hands of Revis) Nope, Clausen is just pitiful to watch altogether.

Clausen doesnt have confidence. he's lost all confidence in his team and the coaches around him. I think he can be good, HOWEVER, he will likely be good on another team. I can NOT see Andrew Luck winning more than 3 or 4 games, the offensive line to be honest SUCKS!!!!! Luck will be sacked about 45 times next year and the recievers wont get open in time which means, they struggle AGAIN and i will NOT be shocked to hear by next year when 2011 is over, i wont be shocked to hear fans wanting Matt Barkley in 2012.

About 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter, 2nd and goal(?), 3 WR set, and Clausen's eyes are literally glued on Rosario running to the corner of the endzone, and Clausen actually gives a directional hand gesture to go left to Rosario as if he is playing backyard football with him, then throws him a terrible pass.. Clausen didn't even try to look at any of the other receivers. That, for me, is the nail in the Clausen coffin. This guy is getting worse as the season goes on..

Amazing.

What is it you see in Clausen? I mean, he is not showing a lot of heart (ie taking hits to make the throw), not showing pocket presence, he has a good not outstanding arm, he is not exceptionally mobile, he is not hard to tackle, no anticipation on his throws. I mean I'm not particularly going at you, but what intangibles are you seeing that makes you think he can be a good QB? The Oline is sucking sometimes, but it's not like every drop back the Oline is collapsing. Houston with D.Carr had a worse line than us and he didn't look this horrible. Just explain what do you see?

Yep the line was bad this year, but there is good reason as to why it was bad. We never had a right side to the line. Otah, our mauler was out all season. We never replaced Andrew Vincent. Once Wharton went down, that was it for the line. In all seriousness, it is shocking they had any success running the ball against the Bucs, Ravens, and Falcons. Imagine what a fully healthy line, along with Mankins (should be our number 1 target in free agency), would do.

Well personally I don't know what to say anymore. Our WR core stinks our oline sucks and our QB postion is f**ked up. The new HC that comes in here within the next month is going to have mess to clean up. It will start will the coaching staff then the roster and so on. All I can say is good luck to the next new HC of the panthers. You will need it big time.:eek:

actually the line isnt playing great. Timmons came in free and just smacked Clausen and in this same game when Smith got open, Clausen couldnt find Smith because......He was running away from pressure!!! As for what he has, he has a good arm (when he has time to throw) and is accurate, Clausen is a rookie, rookies make mistakes, Cam Newton (who people like for some reason) will make ALOT of mistakes. Luck will also play poorly with this line. I am not saying keep Clausen because if Luck is there you HAVE to take him, BUT i am not seeing why anyone wants Cam Newton who's not ready to start. Anyway, Clausen is accurate and (when he has timie) has pocket pressence, the problem, he is rushed. Clausen CLEARLY shows what he lacks which is confidence.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
