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.

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
