Does everybody here at the very least agree that Clausen sucks?

There is no longer any chrome on Marty's trailer hitch.

A lot of rookies that haven't been worked into the system suck.

Peyton Manning sucked his 1st year so did Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris

but they were given another chance and look what they've become (winners)

I'd say play Clausen another year and improve our DL and OL in this draft.

All the good teams have solid foundations. Jimmy was a kid thrown to the wolves.

yea, it was painful. I think its possible he can run an offense successfully with a legitimate offensive coach, I havent completely lost hope.

Peyton threw 26 TDS his rookie year, Clausen=2, maybe 3 but yea, terrible situation

[Ricky Spanish]

he's pretty worthless. I am incredibly saddened that we wasted a pick on him. he will amount to nothing in the NFL. take it to the bank.

I feel anyone that thinks they can pass judgment on a rookie Qb with the worst offensive coordinator in the game and two rookie WR's to throw to doesn't know much about the game.

[Sam Mills Fan]

He probably does. The only thing that gives me cause is the progression of his college career. He was one of the absolute worst BCS school starting quarterbacks his freshman year following Brady Quinn, but really improved dramatically starting with his sophomore season.

Logic has no place here.

[Peppers90 NC]

He sucked, but I'm not giving up on him after one year.

Come on dont bring any sensibility to this peabrain thread.

[Peppers90 NC]

He was bad last year.

Does that mean he'll be bad going forward? That remains to be seen.

The fact that people say "they hate having to root for him" is ridiculous.

It's like they have some immature personal problem with him himself or something.

As long as he's a Panther, I hope he becomes a great player.

Fox is gone, people love Smith even tho I can argue he was worse than Clausen last year, people look at the defensive stats and think we were good there, we have 2 good rb's but it couldnt possibly have been them, we flukely sent 2 linemen to the pro bowl so the easy answer for people who dont really understand the concept for team sports is to point the finger at Clausen. Laziness and ignorance is what creates these types of threads.

In my defense I passed my judgement on him before we even drafted him.

You may still be right, I will wait til we have an enthusiastic and competent coaching staff to concur.

[Woodcookedbbq]

Clausen sucked, but Rip Scherer is a sucky QB coach as well. Maybe, just maybe with the right coaching, Clausen can improve. Too early to call him a bust.

[panthernation23]

Jimmy Clausen was a rookie in a bad situation

Can he be an above average QB in the NFL? yes

Anyone giving up on Clausen based off his rookie performance needs to watch games outside of just carolina games, maybe do some homework and find out that pretty much all rookies suck their first year.

rookie QB, 2 starting rookie WR's, RB's on injure reserve, O-line on IR and to top it off the worst O coordinater in the league. And you people want Clausen gone cause he was bad? How about we give the kid a legitimate shot before we crucify him.

You cant give up on a QB his rookie in year that bad of situation, lets see how he does when he actually has playmakers around him, lets see how he does now that Gettis and Lefell are sophmores and when williams and stewert are BOTH healthy and when our O-line isnt all on IR.

If Clausen sucks when we are healthy then so be it, then its time to move on. Drafting cam or gabbert is just strait stupid...your talking about drafting a running QB which has never worked in the NFL, and drafting Gabbert who threw in the high teens in TD's in a spread offence in college, thats terrible.
