Clausen must start! Yes, you read this right.

Clausen starts, he does amazing, and we trade Cam instead.

Good idea.

[Jrock88]

Voted for Cam. Honestly think he ll be the starter week 1. If we'd planned on going the Jimmy route, why use the #1 pick on a quarterback?

[lightsout]

Jimmy. Starting. For the Panthers. :lol:

Clausen starts, does amazing. We have 2 good QB's that Chud can have fun with building around.

And when we go 0-5?

Cam's the kind of player that is going to get on the field in some situations, starter or not. He can develop into a solid player, but his accuracy and such make me think that right now he is not there yet. I would rather let him continue to grow and practice and take over mid season from Clausen when he's ready. Of course, if the coaches think he's ready at the start of the season, so be it.

I have heard from a couple people that they were gonna let Jimmy start and suck ass and then let Cam come in to save the day after Jimmy is benched.

What if Jimmy lights it up?

And then someone is still getting traded away. D:

[DaCityKats]

So Jimmy is waiting to attack down field in the game?

And then someone is still getting traded away. D:

yes better we have no idea what one of the players may be like until we absolutely are desperate for a QB due to injury or what not!

[PanthersPhan18]

If Clausen starts and becomes good, then Cam is the one we would trade.

If Clausen starts and becomes good, then Cam is the one we would trade.

Man....you ain't skeered!:eek:

[Tarheels23]

Before any of you crucify me...

Look at it this way.

Jimmy Clausen starts the season for us, with the talent that is with him now, If Jimmy Can't produce, then ,ok, cut your losses. But if he does produce and generates decent numbers so other teams take notice. This only means Jimmy could be used a trade bait. Meaning the panthers could rape a team just like...The Eagles.

Look at the Eagles, they RAPED the Cardinals for a guy like Kolb. Kolb arguably had some really good Talent around him in Jackson, Maclin, Celek. The Cards still took a chance and gave away a good CB and a 2nd round pick for him.

We don't lose anything by doing this. Nothing, Cam gets to sit maybe 4-5 games tops. We see if Clausen can garner interest. Swindle a team into thinking he's worth say a player we might need at a certain position and a draft pick. Or just a high draft pick. At this point if we just get enough interest that they would only get a 2nd round pick for him, I say do it! Get that 2nd rounder back for the guy.

Thoughts?

The Big Cat says hello!

[Mr ocho nueve]

If he produces, why trade him away. If he does good, he'll remain the starter. So you're saying (hypothetically thinking) trade Clausen for a guy we haven't seen play in a real game yet. Cmon we aren't the Bills.
