What if Clausen wins??

What do the Panthers do if Jimmy Clausen wins the job in the preseason.

What if Jimmy's problems really were the lack of coaching, lack of play calling, lack of preparation, Otah's absense....

I have heard the argument that Jimmy was not completely to blame, so it is not out of the question that he comes back this year strong. If Jimmy does turn out to be more than servicable and Newton Can not win the job, how does the organization approach this situation??

What if pigs fly....... I could see Jimmy turning things around this year with a new OC, new QB coach, and the best motivator on the planet - competition.

So, who do we trade? Do we trade? Whats the huddle's opinion (prob that Jimmy will never be good) but, what if?

Disagree totally.

If Clausen comes out a barn burner, Newton isn't going to sniff the field this year. He may get a chance next, but if he stinks and CLausen lights it up when he does get back in, we may look at trading Newton.

That being said, the chances of that happening are extremely slim.

You're kidding yourself. Sadly, Clausen's days are numbered. It doesn't matter what he does on the field, they're paying Newton too much money to sit on the bench - and they won't get any value back for him if they trade him.

Clausen just has to recognise this and try to impress potential suitors with his play this year. He's not going to be in Carolina for much longer.

He won't.

The question was "what if"

the correct answer has already been posted as "not a bad situation to be in" and "trade bait"

Everyone has their favorites and that is fine but as fans I think what is best for the team should supersedes favorites.

I want everyone who enters camp to ball out and make the decisions of who to cut VERY difficult if not borderline impossible. I don't think any true fan can disagree with that.

There are circumstances when failure over a period of time can make one hope that a guy fails I guess (Jake Delhomme) but outside of that, which is still opinion, you should want everyone to be very good.

Bad draft pics, trades, and rookie performances should get a pass as far as the personal feelings go IMO.

I think it is possible for Clausen to be much better. Will it happen? IDK, but he is basically a rookie with game speed awareness, which could help him beat out Newton for the starting job. Now, once the actual games start, he could have shell shock from 2010 and revert very easily. it's all a crap shoot.

Clausen won't ever get a chance under the new regime.

But I would love for him to play well and spark some trade interest. A Matt Schaub type trade is probably out of the question, but I would jump at the chance to dump him for a 2nd round pick if the opportunity arose.

Let's hope his hands grow some in the next few months.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
