Clausen will develop into a fine qb next season.

[koolkatluke]

My whole problem with this thinking is I feel the rest of the Offence has no confidence in him. The way they played for David Carr. Somtimes this year it looked like that.

very true Koolkatluke, and one of the few things JR has said is that QB is an area they wish to address.

of course that was when Luck was around. Maybe that all changes now. =(

I could smell the haters before I even clicked this thread.

I could smell the people who watched Clausen play before I even clicked this thread.

Yeah.

[Guest Jacob3-89]

If clausen becomes a good QB i'll cut my balls off.

[scarface]

Yeah.

Apparently they didn't see the rest of the offense play

nah, you can't grow as a team w/ QB play continuing to be as bad as it was last season. Clausen playing so poorly also limited what guys like Gettis and LaFell were able to do. Carolina will definately have a different looking QB roster. I would think new HC would make certain of that. No new HC is gonna come in and agree to just ride out the leftovers that looked that bad.

We need to be ready to write him off. Unless, we want the #1 pick again. Kid showed nothing.

Lol . . . Another season of misery. At least we might be able to draft Luck. :rofl:

If you wanna know how Clausen will turn out, look no further than Brady Quinn. And two OC's in 2 years is never a good thing.

[Pox 08]

Brady Quinn...... you mean the same guy that was with the Browns, being coached by Rip Scherer? Again, either he has the worst luck in the world with every qb he coaches, suddenly turning to poo, or he's just a horrible, horrible qb coach.

[Pox 08]

I think he'll get this season under a new staff to see whether he's up to the job or not.

That's what I think also.

Ugh.

Despite my avatar, I'm not a Clausen fan boy, and have ripped on him quite a few times. But....

With a new OC, a new QB Coach, I think Clausen has a pretty good chance at success.

I know, I know, "when he had time in the pocket, he was horrible.". It was apparent he didn't trust his Oline, they sucked ass at protecting the passer early on in the season and in spurts even in the later games. Can you blame a rookie that took the kind of abuse he took for being a little antsy, feeling pressure where there was no pressure?

Can you really say the Panthers did everything in their power to help him succeed? Was Rip a good qb coach? Was Davidson a decent OC? Did you feel they tried to call plays to fit his strengths? It seemed to me no thought really went into it, that they were just doing the same generic plays they'd do with anyone back there.

I look at the Rams and see a team that changed their play style for their rookie qb. They gave Bradford a ton of rookie friendly plays. That franchise gave him confidence in knowing he was "their guy".

I'm not ready to write Clausen off yet. Hopefully, neither are the big wigs in charge.

Bottom line is Clausen didn't play well enough to stabilize the QB position and the position should be addressed as if he's not even on the team. If Clausen beats out the competition then that's wonderful.

Competition is always a good thing.
