Clausen stopped listening to coaches

Since people always seem to question me when I bring this up, I found a place where it's quoted from his chat.

And this was then supported by Michael Lombardi of the NFL network from a ‘source inside the organization’.

Gantt said exacty “It didn’t help that he (Clausen) stopped listening to the coaches” I asked him to clarify and he said “It’s safe to say he didn’t think they were giving him good instruction”.

Sure, Hurney may have picked Clausen, but Clausen also chose to ignore Hurney’s coaches.

So there.

John Fox's system is basically designed for a fairly average QB to do pretty well.

It is why Jake and Matt Moore have winning records under Fox.

Maybe Jimmy tuning out is why he never improved and regressed. I don't think much of Fox or Davidson......but Clausen flat out stunk. If he quit on the coaches......then it might be no real shock why players keep talking about the qb position so much.

Rip was/is a terrible QB coach! And Davidson? hahahahaha!

Pickles might be smarter than we thought.

Ok lets see, in college he had a guy that is considered one of the better QB coaches/ OC's in the NFL. Then he comes here he has a buttclown that is dumber than most Highschool coaches. Unfortunately for Fox and Davidson he already knew what good coaching looked and sounded like and they weren't it.

I gotta wonder, how many times you think he called his old ball coach up and said 'this is what they are saying' and Weis said 'don't' sweat it, Fox is done in a year ignore their asses'.

The coaches quit on the team before the season started. They knew they would not be here after the season. They didn't care if Clausen got better or not.

But whatever, tired of talking about it, so carry on with the Clasuen hate thread part 1,367,581.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
