Via Twitter...

A lot of interest in Clausen: Limited arm talent, small in the pocket, poor throwing mechanics, needs functional space in pocket to deliver.

QB w/limited passing skill sets need lot of team (run game, defense, sp teams) to have any success. He didn't have that.

Would help to have some context to know what he means by "a lot of interest" (guessing he means him personally; pretty sure he's not talking trade).

See, what I find weird about that is...

Didn't Gruden say (along with 99% of analysts) that Jimmy Clausen had the best mechanics of anyone in the draft last year? Their knocks on him were about his character... not his arm. :confused:

This is kinda my problem with everyone piling on as well.

Most of the "tv scouts" had him rated much higher than he went, and almost everyone thought that he would be at worst a good starter in the league.

I still can't figure out what happened.

and a lot of people have talked about how comical the Gruden "QB sessions" are b/c he is far from a QB guru.

Gotta always remember that lots of "expert analysts" have their reasons to endorse or knock players.....and a lot have no clue what they are even talking about.

I want to see what he can do with a real staff.

still think if you want to see what Clausen has to offer he has to have a change in a WCO. His skill set just makes him a doormat in the offense's Carolina is running.

he won't see the field much and he shouldn't see it if the only point of it is to help drive up his stock.

best and most realistic chance for us to get the most value is some desperate team (of which there are a few) looking for a QB who thinks/hopes that he has a lot more potential than last year would cause you to believe.

the more time he sits on the bench, regardless of coaching, the less valuable he becomes.

i just want to see what some other team is interested in offering up for him.

not sure he's going to get to show anything here this or any year he's in carolina.

Has Cam now been elevated to Superhuman that has a built in Morphine drip that will allow him to never feel pain, therefore he will never be injured! Awesome! Take that Jamarcus Russell!

be lucky to get a 5th or 6th rounder for Clausen.

I would imagine if he is as horrible as some report he was in practice last year this upcoming camp......kid might just not make the cut.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
