Let's say Jimmy Clausen stayed in school last year and came out in this draft..

I believe he would easily be the #1 QB in this draft.

Wiki.

In October 2009, Clausen was named midseason All-American by The Sporting News.[27] His finished the season with 3,722 yards passing, a 68.8% completion rate, 161.42 passer rating, 28 touchdowns, and four interceptions.[28]

We would be drooling over him to be picked 1st.

just saying.

Apparently even a "high ranking " Panther FO type has him third best and you know we would rank him higher than anyone else. After seeing how he threw the ball and how low he delivered it, it would be hard to put him higher than 5th or 6th. Especially if he didn't participate in the combine like last year.

actually if you read that post / listen to the interview, it wasn't just the Panthers that felt that way, p55. It was other teams as well. (No idea how many others)

Again the best would be third but given that he had foot issues which we now know lingered all through the year and he were coming out now where would he go?

But put it another way, if you could have any quarterback coming out of college instead of Clausen in a straight up pick how many would you take? Newton? Gabbert? Locker? Ponder? Mallett? Honestly after seeing how poorly he played and how fundamentally flawed he is mechanically I would take any one of them instead of him.

He was rated high because he was supposedly NFL ready. Given we know that wasn't the case, his stock would have dropped significantly in my mind.

Drew Brees = 6 foot

Jimmy Clausen = 6 foot 3

This whole buisness of finding like 1 player out of 500 million to support whatever people want to talk about is silly. Drew Brees at the moment has billions of things that Clausen doesn't.

Size, throwing motion, whatever it is are just general guidelines that have correlation to success. It can always be broken.

Clausen had some passes batted down because of his low release, and some more because he was not in tune with where the defensive linemen were and the fact that they were staring at him waiting to jump and bat them down.

      Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By Cpt slay a ho · Posted

      I’m happy most of us are on the same page about this team finally taking the fs position seriously. I’d be happy with a draft like this. I think we’re in a prime position to transform this defense to elite with a good draft like this.    I’d also be happy if we went all offense too, which SHOULD increase the offense productivity from last year but we have some questions on that side of the ball regardless.    I think the best defense wins the division easily and we’ve seen time and time again, how far an elite defense can take you.
