No he doesnt. Clausen has no trade value....just like Smith didn't.

If Colt McCoy has trade value, Clausen do too.

All he has to do is showed he improved in the preseason.

Teams like Arizona, Seattle, Raiders, Jaguars, Rams, and Colts may need a QB for competition or just a better no.2 QB.

Theres a lot of teams without a sure QB or a no.2, so they will be looking for a guy who has the track record and thats someone like Clausen, not Smith.

lol...since when is Clausen comparable to the boob known as Colt? Clausen hasn't shown half of what Colt has....and Colt hasn't shown much.

Clausen's track record only shows a guy that has no business playing at this level. Nothing more. You can teach mechanics or a playbook....can't teach someone to not be a girl when it comes to heat in a pocket. Clausen also lacks just about everything you physically look for in a QB.

Personally I don't care about backup qb's, but I want someone who can try to keep a win streak alive. In that measure I think Smith was more valuable in college. As much as I hate Touchdown Jesus, I'd take him over Clausen and Smith. (FOR BACKUP PURPOSES ONLY)

If the media wasnt on The Golden Calf of Bristol's junk and he could be what he is....a lot is teams would want him.

A lot of very good debates on which QB is better: Clausen or Troy Smith, and a lot of very good points made. Personally, I don't have a lot of confidence in Clausen... at all, and I'm a believer in: "If you don't change anything, you'll get what you've always got." Clausen doesn't add value to our offensive scheme but I do understand the money situation. If Clausen's cap hit is so low that it's not an impact, I can feel the thought to keep him until it changes but I would put more value on continuing to build for the future at all positions, including a backup QB. Yes, we're talking about a 3rd QB, but if he can excel in Chuds offense, he may move to #2 when Anderson leaves. When that happens, I would rather have a 3rd QB that can add value than a Clausen. I'm not sure how much Smith would want but I definetly think that he'd be a better fit than Clausen.

The fact that you think Clausen is even comparable to Colt proves there is no point in trying to reason with you.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
