Clausen not rolling over on being the starter

[panthers55]

Yes more useless fluff until the lockout get settled. Clausen is working out every day trying to get better. It doesn't appear that he got the memo saying Newton will be the starter day 1.

Once the lockout is lifted, Clausen is eager to return to Carolina and begin his battle for the starting quarterback spot.

"I can only control what I can control and that is going out each and every day and working as hard as I can to get better," he said. "That is what I am doing here each and every day, working out with the guys to try and get ready for the season."

That is all Clausen has ever said, ever since we drafted him.

"All I can do is try and get better. All I can do is try and get better. All I can do..."

Shut the hell up JC! Either cook something else up to say or don't say anything at all!

Here is what Sorenson thinks about Clausen.

He expects Clausen to be leaner, more athletic and willing to battle it out. Might be a competition after all.

I actually hope he gets better so we can trade him for a 2nd rounder.

This.

I know a lot of people resent the hell out of him, but we should all root for his success anyway. Ideally he will start the first few games and play well enough to generate some trade interest. If he isn't a bust, maybe he can be our version of Kevin Kolb in 2012.

I personally don't want him to ever touch the field. I'd rather see Moore back up Newton than Clausen. Moore needs to be the man standing by with the clip broad and headset

Jimmy Clausen, 2011 QB starter, week 1.

You guys are so judgemental!!!

Here is a guy being humble and not giving up.

Trying his best and wanting to improve no matter what!

With his attitude, Clausen will win a championship for sure!

In something other than football, because he really sucks at it.

At the pace the owners, NFLPA, and commisioner are going it will be week 10 before we see anyone as the starter!

Just as likely as Newton...

The way Clausen holds the ball before he passes is the oddest thing I've ever seen, he has to hold it with two hands since they're so small.
