“I don’t know,” replied Clausen when asked whether he should’ve been thrown into the fire. “…Some guys have that time to be able to sit back and watch, and I got to do that for the first three quarters of the game in the first game of the season and I got thrown in there on the last series because Matt Moore went down.”

Oviously he was not....

You guys kill me. Everyone trying to talk poo about Clausen. First of all if he is gone next year then you should all be poo talking Hurney and management, not Fox and Clausen. They are the ones who picked up a bust with a second rounder. Then you all say Newton is worth the risk, you wouldn't have said Clausen is worth the risk with basically the last second round pick? I think Clausen would be waaaay more justified than Newton as #1 overall. Next, half you guys you guys talk about how Newton should sit and learn or Newton should start. The huddle can't handle mistakes, rookies QBs need time and need an owner and management that is focused on winning.

None of this was given to him last year and he comes out and says "it is only going to make me better", yet the title is Clausen "I don't know", applying everyone has already written him off and given up. Perfect kindle for yet another Clausen poo storm. What a young, misguided fanbase. Yea let's trade a QB cause he was slightly less than mediocre one year after being thrown to the wolves, trade trade trade. He is cheap, he has potential (like it or not), it would be stupid to trade him.

Clausen says he doesn't know if more time would have helped him, because it never happened. He could of said, "yep, this team just threw me in there and that was bullpoo". Clausen isn't worth poo, he isn't going anywhere. All I am saying is if Clausen turns out to be playing for us next year one way or another, he should be supported by the fans.

I find it kind of interesting that a kid who tweets, has a web page, and blogs etc, has not had a sit down interview that has been published in any of the NC newspapers.

He is the quietest QB I have ever heard. Odd considering the statements from various places about how cocky he is. He seems pretty meek to me.

I think that is part of the problem with the fan base. The fans don't know this kid. They see the disaster on the field. They see his body language. They see no fire.

Those things from an image perspective, combined with bad results, makes it extremely hard to embrace Jimmy as a potential leader. There are a lot of successful QBs who don't talk, but, there is no doubt from their body language that they are in charge.

I would have given almost anything to see him get angry, with himself, with someone else, with poo-head Fox/Davidson, something, anything, to demostrate he gave a damn aboiut what was happening around him.

I think this as much as anything, will cause a change.

    • I dont think that is worst case at all.  Worst case is Bryce is exactly like he was the last ten games and not really showing anything, making a decision hard.  If we suck this year there are like 5 potential franchise guys that should be coming out this year.
    • Bryce's play after coming back from his benching gives me a glimmer of hope but it's wild that a lot of Panthers fans are acting like he has arrived as a franchise QB because he put up some mediocre stats and basically simply just finally didn't look like a guy who flat out did not belong on an NFL field.  I'm anxious to see what he looks like this year and I'm hoping for continued growth but I still haven't seen anything that leads me to believe that he's capable of being a high level starter. Hoping he proves me wrong but honestly the worst case scenario would be that he comes out this year and plays like he did late last year. That's purgatory QB level. The type of guy who organizations get led to believe might be "good enough" but you're not competing for SBs with that level of QB play. I want Bryce to boom or bust this year. Go out there and prove me wrong and look like THAT DUDE or just revert back to looking like he doesn't belong. Don't leave me in purgatory. Let's get an answer to this question one way or the other.
    • Absolute worst case scenario for us is we suck, ignore the 5th year option, and draft a new QB onto a team that is pretty well built.  That being said, I think Bryce is turning a corner this year.
