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.

      He was so much fun to watch as a player but is a prototypical example of the old "never meet your heroes" adage. Great player, not a great guy.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Look.... if us BY "haters" give credit about his GWDs...... Will the BY stans also have honest discussion about the 55minutes before the last 5 in which BY has put up 9/20 for 78 yards 0 TDs???

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      The way they are handling now is how they should have handled it from the start instead of that you get a series, you a get a series. Let Chuba spell until he had some of his step back.  We definitely could have put a better showing against Buffalo and their weak run defense had we employed the same game plan we did against Green Bay. Saints were determined to stop the run and make Bryce beat them, Atlanta had similar plan and the coaches and Bryce were able to respond.  Rico although didnt have the best rushing game was vital in the passing game and his catch and run help get us into the redzone there at the end of regulation probably should have been a touchdown that out of bounds was a judgement call it wasn't conclusive and thus should have went with the original call on the field.  Roco brings that dawg to the offense that it shorely lacked up until Miami game. Interesting it was his call that help seal the win for us, glad the coaches were listening. Hope they can get a deal done and run it back next year.
