Jimmy didn't get a fair chance: should we trade him or keep him around?

what say you huddle? I could see a couple teams taking a risk on him for a 5th rounder?

i would NOT risk a 5th rounder for Jimmy and here's why. If you are a team you KNOW Clausen isnt staying in Charlotte. he's there on a limited basis and will either be released this year or next year so why give up a 5th round pick. a 6th round or 7th round pick, yeah, but not a 5th round pick, though it wouldnt shock me if a team did give that up, but they will be lucky to find a team to do that. i think if any team trades for him it's Seattle.

By all means I think we should keep him and let's just see what happens, who knows his trade value could skyrocket this year or could turn into a winning quarterback. We did invest a 2nd rounder on him, so I'd like to wait and see what becomes of that, I just think Hurney's comments are very telling that Clausen's future isn't with the Panthers

Something interesting from the article about JR and Cam was how Cam asked JR how Jimmy would feel about the Panthers drafting him. If that's a guy that's only interested in his paycheck, why would he bring up something that could possibly cast the decision to draft him in a negative light? Speaks of high character, in my opinion. Doesn't seem like the sort of thing that could even be faking or told to say, it's so out of left field.

Those in the elite media who didn't care for Cam phrased a lot of their personal baises towards him either in the form of a question or outright assumptions based on his image and the prejudices that still exists in this society.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
