Jimmy Clausen

Three things I liked about Jimmy:

He definitely is more patient, maybe a little too patient at times, but he isn't giving up on plays like he did last year

He was great in the pocket, and I liked the effort of him trying to extend plays.

He showed thick skin, after a pick 6 and the booing he did great on the rebound, gotta give him props.

Jimmy did well tonight. He did hold on to the ball a bit long, but he waits for the plays to develop....he's not a read and run QB. The INT was three-fold, D-Will didn't turn to look for the ball, Jimmy held it and had a defender partially hanging on him and mis-fired when he did let it fly.

Jimmy was a much changed from last year QB. People will continue to hate on Jimmy because he is Jimmy and they refuse to forgive him his rookie mistakes. The early pic 6 was pretty terrible. Last year he would have folded. Tonight he ce back and threw a great score. He messed up then came back and made up for it.

Besides, this is the first game of the preseason and on a shortened off season with a new offense. I will say I am definately looking forward to the rest of the season. Jimmy or Cam, whoever is taking snaps for the Panthers has my 100% support.

Jimmy does have a bad habit of just expecting players to be on point. He doesn't realise that sometimes his recievers are thinking something else and that leads to picks. Regardless, he did good tonight. There are still some small things he has to work on, like pocket presence, but it's pretty encouraging. By the way, it's pretty easy to look like you're holding onto the ball for too long if no one's getting open.

    • This is where I'm at. Dowdle is a feel good story and glad he's proving his doubters wrong. I just don't see how we keep our OL intact (which is the right move) and spend on another RB after giving Chuba his money. Though the odds are against him, I do think Brooks can still be our RB2 next year..and if he stays healthy, our longterm RB1. Having the full offseason with no pressure to try and come back like last year will help. I'm also happy to see he and TD have been connecting.  If this team is smart, they go into next year with Chuba/Brooks/ETN and sign a Dowdle-light version in FA at minimum cost. Chuba is in his prime and a full offseason to fully recharge will only benefit him more. Dowdle is unfortunately a luxury item I don't think we can spend our money on. We still have other areas of need that we have to improve on the defensive side of the ball. 
    • last time they loaded the box, shut down the run and forced BY9 to beat them, we saw the result of that. So what can we do this time to beat them? I suspect it's going to require a lot of short / intermediate passes with TE play to help
    • Floyd Mayweather Jr. made hundreds of millions off realizing this. He was an exciting boxer in his early days but watching his dad and uncle struggle with the effects of taking thousands of punches to the head he realized he was skilled enough to good guys without putting himself at risk and he'd just wait for other elite guys to lose a step before facing them. The whole WWE-esque "Money" persona was built around the realization that it doesn't matter if they're watching to see you win or watching hoping you'll lose, all that matters is that they're watching. Force them to love you or hate you, just make sure they care enough to tune in. We had a similar situation with Cam. Everyone felt some kinda way about Cam. You couldn't find many NFL fans who were neutral on Cam Newton. Is was love or hate but either way it was must see TV.
