The Hourglass on the Jimmy Clausen Era

...only has about 2 weeks worth of sand left in it.

That last drive in the 4th Quarter had to be all Gettleman had to see. I don't hate Clausen and he got caught up in an awful situation during 2010, but he just ain't got the makeup to be even a solid backup.

Even with better arm strength, his pocket presence is god-awful. Really doubt he will be picked up even as a 3rd QB by someone.

Watching Everrette Brown sack him was awful and awesome wrapped up in irony. The demons of 2010 are not going away quietly...

yeah, when E Brown gets a sack clearly the 3s and should nots are on the field... I think his time is nearly up. I was almost convinced he was improving but I think he has a mild case of the Davis Carr syndrome.

I still don't understand the Clausen hate here.

He's looked better than Anderson thus far.

Maybe even better.

This is why I suggest releasing him with first cuts to give him a chance to sign somewhere else out of respect. If we thought he had any value I would say keep him and put him on the trading block but I don't see any team out there falling for that. I think he could have a chance at being a serviceable backup QB in a WC offense with a great RB but he doesn't have the arm strength for most offenses in the NFL who want to go deep. Why keep him here when we know we can't plug him into our offense without changing our offensive identity that requires throwing to Smitty down field for him to make a play.

He will stick around because of the guaranteed money.  I think he is improving and actually does make a decent throw every now and then, but he has zero pocket presence and panics under pressure.  He is about as good as most 3rd string QB's at this point.

Leave the kid alone. Hes making more money that you sitting on his azz, and despite his performance on the field, looks better doing it.

Not sure why people expect a 3rd string QB to be decent. Its well known around here he isn't great, or maybe not even good. Why continue to give the guy poo? He didnt pan out the way we wanted given the choices we made to draft him. GET OVER IT!

Personally, I will be glad to see him leave for no other reason than I am tired of seeing him get kicked around by pot-bellied huddlers who dont even have a tenth of the talent, athleticism, or money he has earned by doing nothing but playing badly when thrown in the fire, and since then sitting on his behind following Cam around.

Jimmy, if I send you some footballs to sign will you? Can't go wrong with having extra footballs signed by Jimmy Clausen sitting around.

No, but if you wanna floss with my pubes...ill send you a few in the mail with your donation to the charity of my choice. "Cant go wrong" having a stoners mouth fresh and clean after flossing with my stuff.

 

In hindsight..you may be better off simply brushing your teeth~

Maybe. There are a lot of unproven rookies that gettle could deem worthy of a roster spot. It would only cost us about an additional quarter million against the cap to cut jimmy and replace his roster spot with a rookie UFA

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
