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!

I actually hopes 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

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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
