Jimmy Clausen just isn't bad

[JJT]

Completely unbiased, Clausen got absolute terrible blocking on almost every snap. While it would be nice to see him be able to handle some pressure even Cam would struggle with that kind of line play.

Maybe Clausen is such an asshole that no one wants to block for him.

Talking trash about the third string QB. God this board is sad.

Oh man, STFU. Some of us have been saying Clausen should've been gone.

There's no need to keep acting like HE SHOULDN'T BE. This team doesn't need a 3rd String QB any more than the other teams that don't have one don't need one.

Hopefully they cut Clausen before the season and keep an extra WR or DT. Anything other than him.

[Carolina Husker]

He's the worst quarterback I've ever seen at this level.

There is no amount of beer that could have made that look acceptable.

Or liquor.

Or marijuana.

Or heroin for that matter.

I hope Jimmy lives a happy, long, successful life but just please get the fug out of Charlotte.

I threw up in my mouth watching his performance. It was putrid.

[Guild]

Clawful. As expected.

[Marguide]

and two valuable picks.

Yeah, but the picks are sunk cost. There is nothing we can do about them and no point in worrying about them now (not that I think you were).

The roster spots are here and now. Do the right thing Marty.

I still say cut Clausen and use Armanti as our 3rd QB...can't be any worse...right?

Great, you had to remind everyone about the other wasted draft pick and roster spot still wearing Panther unis.

[DeeJay]

Cut the bitch.

Jimmy just came to the worst team to get his development into the NFL started...he was thrown out there inexperienced and with the O-line he had his first year was atrocious...there was no gradual adaptation to the speed of the offense and no real connection with the receivers...Fox ruined that poor boy.....but yea he will never start for a NFL team..sadly...

Plenty of guys who didn't pan out can say they went to the "wrong" team for them at the time.

Clausen should've been better than Delhomme based on the hype that surrounded him entering college and the draft. He isn't even 25% of the player Delhomme was under Fox.

These posts are classics. Would have pied if I could. Thanks for the laughs.

I actually thought that one deep throw to Edwards in the end zone was nice. It was a bad decision since the coverage was so tight...but the throw itself was spot on. I just think Jimmy needs some confidence and has to feel comfortable in the pocket. His protection was damn horrible too....even when the Texans rushed 4, they'd get to the QB within 2 seconds it seemed like.

I wish the Panthers kept a 4th QB on the 90-man roster so Clausen would have some competition at the #3 spot. I think 3 QBs on the roster is ideal in the NFL, so I don't see them getting rid of Clausen unless they have someone to replace him with.

Wonder what goes through the minds of defensive line players when they see Jimmy under center. Time to pad the stats!

I had the same thought. II also thought, "nobody can suck the life out of a stadium faster than Jimmy Clausen." Rarely do you see lines at the gates leaving a stadium.

[MHS831]

Personally, I think you have to look at the roster spot and wonder if he is ever going to be worth it. I would cut him, sign a young QB to put on the PS. If we ever get down to our 3rd QB, we are losing the game anyway.

What makes you think Clausen could have been a sucessful QB in this league?

-His size

-His arm strength

-His pocket awareness

-His athletic ability

-His leadership

-His decision making

-His pin point accuracy

I really want to know.
