Clausen will develop into a fine qb next season.

i hate to do this, but anybody who remotely thinks Clausen can play I'm going to put on Ignore until Bastille Day.

Ignore me, I don't give a poo. You won't be the only one in this thread who's ignore list I'm on. Some can't separate their politics from sports or whatever...

I haven't really seen anybody say he could play, what I and others have said is he wasn't given the chance to get better. If teams just start dumping rookies after one bad season with a coaching staff providing no support for that player. The Panthers will never know what players are really any good. I'm not saying we should hold on to Clausen as long as we did with DJ or Colbert, but damn after just one season?

They also have to show something to hold on to. It's not the fact that he showed we SHOULD dump him, it's the fact that he hasn't shown why we SHOULDN'T dump him.

Most rookies show something. Gettis had a baller game along with LaFell, Hardy made plays, Clausen didn't do much of anything.

Look I think Jimmy will improve in training this year and won't be the train wreck he was last year.

But if we draft a FA vet or Moore comes back, I still bet he loses his starting job in training camp before the season starts. He has a lot to learn, and I would be truly surprised if he can make that kind of improvement in the off-season. If he can transform like that, then I will even go as far as to say he deserves the start.

For him to do that though, he needs to start training now on his own time, and I mean that. Take a a couple of weeks with his family, then find a QB coach that can work with him daily and WORK HIM until training camp starts.

That's the kind of training he needs.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
