Kiper just made a good point on Mike & Mike

He even said that alot of HoFers had terrible rookie years and team need to let rookie QBs grown and lower expectations. \

Clausen falls into this give him time to grow. It takes 3 years before you know if a QB is a bust or not.

No. Here is the difference.

Kiper is talking about Manning, Aikman, etc. and how QBs have "bad" seasons and grow into the QB position.....and that is true. They did have "bad" seasons and grew into great QBs. However, during the "bad" rookie year they showed glimpses of greatness and showed why a team should work with them to grow.

Clausen showed zero glimpses.....and that has everything to do w/ Jimmy. On top of showing zero glimpses he lacks the basic physical attributes you want in a QB. Blame for that can't be put on a decent team around him and decent coach.....like so many like to do.

What is so insightful about that?

You thinking of Clausen by chance?

I laugh at people who gave up on Clausen after just a few games. Come on people. He may never be a starting QB, but he had no chance. On a completely dysfunctional team as a rookie?

I guess these are the same people that saw Moore as a savior.

Yea, I'm all for giving him another chance...as long as we have a proven vet to mentor him and step in if/when Jimmah fails. Orton is only 28, lots of football left in him. McNabb has another season or two. However, if Luck were available this year, or if we're in position to get him next year, you don't skip on talent that highly thought of just cuz you wanna give another young guy enough of a chance... I DON'T think (and REALLY hope we don't) we should reach because we're SO desperate for a QB. Just sign a FA, focus on Green, O-line, and DT (maybe CB if Marshall leaves) with the draft and free agency and we'll see where the chips have fallen this time next year and reassess our need for a QB then.

First, Zod. Now, you too, Squirrel? All this empathy for Clausen all of a sudden!

J/K

I totally agree. It's about time someone called all the ignorant mofos out!

team wasn't dysfuntional. QB play was pathetic.

Stop being whiny bitches and stop whining about your starting QB who was a rookie and played under horrible coaching staff.

coaching staff wasn't horrible.

They went 12-4 w/ average QB play in 08. When they got average QB play in 09 they finished the season 4-1.

Coaching staff was far from great......but are also were far from bad. QB play was pathetic......when it is that bad (as we have seen at times in multiple seasons like 07, 09, 10 there simply isn't much you can do put get your teeth kicked in most days).

meanwhile, as we give him 2 more years to show that he is as bad as he was last year, the panthers are going to be sitting at the bottom of the NFCS for years. i hope y'all are content being bottom dwellers while we give clausen a "fair" chance.

way to keep that bar low.

No we need to bring in a Vet and let him play. Clausen needs to learn this year. Then next season give him a chance.

    • I need to redo my sub then.  Didn't realize that
    • Here is how I see it. I haven't read through all the comments so it has probably been said. We had ONE way, just one single way to win that game against the Bills. With us having a QB who decided he wanted to switch teams real quick, the only chance (and yes, still a small chance) to win that game was run the ball, with one of top, most violent RB's in the league, down the throat of one of the worst defenses in the league. You start the first play and you keep doing it until the final whistle. Doing this keeps the ball out of the hands of our QB who forgot what he was supposed to be doing that day. It keeps the ball out of the hands of a solid offense you would have to stop. You run the ball with the guy who gets more yards, which in turn should net you more points (I think Dave forgot that getting more yards is better than less yards though, so I hope someone let him know this after the game). Running the ball also can eat up the clock if successful. So the only way we win is a slow, methodical low scoring game where we own the time of possession. What does Dave do? The exact opposite of all that. Dave honest the god, took the best gameplan you  could use, a gameplan any 10 year old that only watches every other game would know to use, that every single fan knows you had to use, Dave's gameplan was to do the exact opposite of that. Dave thought it is better to use a RB that would net you way less yards than the other. Someone will have to explain why it is better to 1/3 the yards you could get (explain why a 4 yard gain is better than a 12 yard gain.) I honestly dont know why less yards is better. It seems like some are saying guys are happier and have more fun the following Monday if they lose but someone is happier because they got to run more? That confuses me. Dave decided instead to put the ball in the hands of a QB who would forget which way they are going down the field, and that's the game has a timer, which ends when the timer goes to zero. Not only does Dave decide to play the players that do worse in practice and games, he will avoid the plays that would seem to have the most chance of success, he decides to keep to the plays that don't work. In orher words, if history shows the play would yield success, you dont use that play. If you have been using a play that does not work at all, that means you should not use any other play except the ones that dont work. Dave will have to explain that strategy also because I don't understand it.  And finally, those who actually watch the whole game can see it, Dave Canales shows an immense amount of fear. He was scared to death of the Bills. You can't get that from the box score. You also can't understand just how much his fear contributes to the loss. Thats why people who say it was all Dalton just don't have the mental capacity to judge, or did not watch at all (only looked at numbers). For example, I think it was the second drive (maybe forth). Dave stopped a touchdown, it was all him. Rico does what Rico does (made Dave look dumb by showing more yards are better than less) and busts out something like a 40 yard run. Things are rolling. Instead of keeping the drive rolling Dave said "hold up, less points are better than more points...i have to stop this." So he pulls out a play so dumb that it leaves the place in shock. He puts Dalton out wide where everyone knows he is worthless, making the decision that we are onlying using 10 players this play, and we don't feel like have a QB at the moment....the perfect time for wildcat (because we are cats too). Its executed exactly as Dave hoped for, flawlessly...a loss of yards. Booyah. Things looking good. Now it's time to put it in Dalton's hands to seal the deal. It goes off perfectly. Buffalo gets the ball. Dave proves he is a genius. I guess I was wrong about him...
