In pressure per play - Carolina ranked 15th in the NFL per Pro Football Focus and did it without a lot of bodies.

Respectable job considering they have been viewed as being more of a run geared OL.

Clausen took a sack a staggering 27.73% of the time when pressure was applied.

Another example showing horrific QB play makes an OL look much worse than it is. 2010 - good D, good ground game, good OL, elite WR....and a coach with a system to help aid average QBs get results. Clausen was garbage and didn't fit......Hurney didn't hire a staff where he fits. After a poor preseason, they should let Moore have his spot for the 3rd spot.

Lets see the thread about OL run-blocking. Then we may have something to talk about.

we had a run game in the top half of the league with defenses loading up to stop them b/c of having the leagues worst passing offense.......the run blocking was the same as it was the past 2 seasons. Started slow and was pretty dang good.

***BREAKING NEWS***

This just in... Jimmy Clausen sucked last year...

I'm pretty sure that everyone on this board already knew that it wasn't our line's fault that he couldn't hit wide open targets!

No, there are some on this board who repeatedly post Tom Brady couldn't of had success in this offense last year and Jimmy was doomed.

My thing about Jimmy last year is that he started ten games and threw three touchdowns. Those were, in order: The deep ball to Stewart in NO that was under thrown and almost didn't get there, the play action pass to a wide open Jeff King against Arizona, and a garbage time touchdown against Atlanta on the last drive of the season.

I'm fine with a rookie struggling, but his successes were limited and long between. I saw virtually nothing that rookie season that portends long term success.

stats?

You've got to provide some proof to the claim that our run game last year was anything close to what it was the year before.

13th in total rushing yards

10th in yards per attempt

that was WITH the 32nd ranked and worst passing attack in the NFL with teams only worried about the run hurting them.....AND with our best RB going on IR.

You really want to argue the run blocking was bad? It started slow yes....but it was that way in 2008 and 2009 as well. You can't run in the 2010 enviroment with poor run blocking....Carolina ran well all things considered.

only thing limiting the run game was the nonexistant threat of a forward pass downfield thanks to Jimmy.

Provide some proof it was bad.

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
