clausen still part of "long term plan"...wait what?


Recommended Posts

According to Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald, Jimmy Clausen is still part of the Panthers' "long-term plan."

Gantt predicts that the Panthers will sign a veteran to paper over the quarterback position, and hope Clausen makes strides on the sideline. Ideally, it would be an aggressive veteran willing to teach. Clausen's skill set is above average, but he was too often scared to throw downfield as a rookie.

winning plan! sit around behind some vet and hope that clausen develops into a good QB!

so what happens if he doesn't?

how long of a chance to we give him as a starter before we figure out he isn't worth the start?

what do we do in the meantime?

if clausen doesn't turn out to be a good QB, then we have to start the whole thing over again and go through another 3 years of the same crap.

Is anyone really surprised here? Gantt's been tweeting this all along.

They're not going to judge Clausen off of last year alone. He'll get a shot in camp but I think there is a bit too much emphasis around here about being part of the long term plan meaning that they're going to sit him for 3 years than throw him out there... He may just end up a career backup, and they're not going to pass on talent for him forever.

However, everything is still on the table. We'll see who is available in the draft and in free agency.

the Panthers aren't just going to have blinders on for the next couple years. You can evaluate a quarterback's improvements in camp, practice, preseason, and any playing time he does get. You don't dismiss him now and you consider him an option but you bring in competition from other sources to make the team better.

the Panthers made the pick.. I don't understand why you would cast out a rookie QB who had to play for offensive guru's under the likes of Fox and Davidson..

he may never be a star, but the best thing you do in this situation is let him sit the bench for 2 years and see what you get afterwards...

I wouldn't solely rely on him, go out and make something else happen.. if you feel there is a QB in this draft, get him, if not, you go from there and try to find one..

    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers
    • How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.
    • I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
