Jaws: "I wouldn't give up on Jimmy"

“It's very difficult. I wouldn't give up on Jimmy,” Jaworski said Wednesday while visiting the Super Bowl media center. “I know people probably expected more. But you've got to look at what happened throughout the year – the running game, the injuries, all those factors came into play. The defense wasn't where it should have been,” forcing the Panthers to play from behind nearly every game.

“People aren't throwing the ball downfield. It's becoming a dink-and-dunk league,” Jaworski said. “And when you're struggling offensive line-wise, the ball's gotta come out quick. So you're taking a lot of three- and five-step drops.”

“I think what Ron will do, he'll evaluate that position,” said Jaworski, who led Philadelphia to the Super Bowl during the 1980 season. “He knows they've gotta run the football. I know what Ron's template will be: It will be a ball-control offense, play good defense. So he's not going to ask him to go out and win the game.”

“He's about steak, not sizzle,” Jaworski said. “Ron will put a football team together.”

the fact he made the comment about a defense that realistically overachieved and was on the field all day b/c of lack of the offense just shows Jaws didn't watch anything but ESPN highlights of Carolina this year.

WAIT...someone has an opinion! DEATH TO HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He blamed the defense for carolinas problems that alone should be enough to ignor him, but I will say I'm not yet ready for the run Jimmy out of town wagon yet, not saying we shouldn't get someone else, just saying its too early for Jimmy

I find it funny how they "unknowingly" mention Jaws taking the eagles to a superbowl way back when, yet it has absolutely nothing to do with the subject.:cool: Anyway, Jaws is completely wrong about Clausen. The guy had plenty of help in the running game and o-line late in the season, yet he still didn't improve.

Within the next year or so, Rivera will tranform Carolina into a mega passing machine. Hopefully by that time, both Williams and Stewart will be revving their engines. However, this won't happen if Clausen is still the QB.

I consider Jaws to be a pretty good analyst and this is what I've been saying since Luck decided not to come out. Beef up the D, play ball control offense and run the ball with our great RBs and ask Jimmy to only be safe wit the ball. I don't think there's much choice to do otherwise anyway at this point unless some really good FA drops on us or Hurney comes up wih some great trade for a better QB.

Clausen's stock rose up fast when Luck didn't declare.

Everyone that's complaining about Jaws blaming the D needs to remember that all of the expectations that were put on Clausen were put there because of our A) good running game, B) good oline, and C) good defense. (And Jaws did point out all of these elements as being part of the problem, not just the underachieving defense.)

None of those three parts played as good as everyone thought they would before the season, which is basically all Jaws is saying.

bad FA's are better than Jimmy though.....why not put the best option you can on the field.

we made the Superbowl bringing in FA QB that nobody thought much of.....

no point just being apathetic about the QB situation b/c Luck is gone. QBs often take a step back anyway year 2......

If I had played QB for the Panthers, do you think those parts would have done as good as they did. Clausen sucks, but he is better than me and I would have made the run game worse, protection look bad, and stuck the defense in bad spots. Clausen played a hand in more than an anemic pass offense. When one part of your team is so bad it trickles down the whole team.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
