I'm sorry, but I'm convince the guy doesn't have "it" at all what so ever.

This is the only response thus far to my "how is Cam any different" question that makes sense. It is tough for anyone to answer this except for the coaching staff - they get to see Clausen's development day in and day out. If the coaching staff isn't sold, then I completely understand the pick. But still, drafting Cam doesn't get us back to competitive football for a couple of years, and this is a couple years assuming he is a successful NFL QB.

If we draft 3 QB's in two years Hurney should be out of a job.

I would love for Clausen to bounce back after last year. I would love to say it was a myriad of outside issues combined with rookie play that made him suck so bad. However he showed no visible improvement from 1st start till 9th start. As a matter of fact he looked worse as the season went on. He wasn't even up and down, it was all down. A guy off his couch came in and until the last part of the fourth quarter played better than Clausen. I just don't see Clausen becoming a viable starter and feel like it's a waste of a year to even waste starting him again.

I honestly don't think any qb had a chance with the Panthers last year. A coaching staff on the way out surrounded by a bunch of rookies is not a good combination. I don't think we should start Clausen. I would rather see us get Dareus or Green and go after someone on the free agent market. Another poster said this team is set-up to win with a marginal qb and I agree with this statement. Why not go get Kolb, McNabb, Young, Palmer, or Orton and give pickles another year with a clipboard?

So why is everyone ready to mortgage the farm on Newton when he wouldn't have done any better than Clausen last year? Point is - Clausen wasn't given a fair shake as we all know. Newton seems a lot riskier than Clausen because we will have to pay him a lot more money and he is a lot farther behind as far as the pro language.

Step out of the logic box and hop onto the Cam hype train!

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
