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.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
