We all know that judging talent in the NFL is like picking a mutual fund. Past performance is one of the best indicators but past performance does not indicate future performance.<br /><br />I think Clausen has had moments where he has looked promising. The problem is he has laid an egg more often than showed the few flashes of promise. I am still undecided about him but I do hold out hope that he will be a good QB. <br /><br />I am sure after the terrible seasons Aikman, E.Manning, and McNabb had there rookie seasons there were fans yelling for there respective teams to go out and draft the latest and greatest. Imagine what would have happened had those teams actually given up on them instead of developing them. <br /><br />That is a word that is not spoken here in Carolina in regards to a QB. Develope. Clausen should never have started this year. He should have been treated like a red shirt freshman and just watched film as well as the game and practiced. Like I said before, I think the off season will speak volumes of Clausen as a future NFL QB.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-13339937129034778352010-12-14T23:51:47.812-05:002010-12-14T23:51:47.812-05:00I actually almost agree with Fowler this time.

He is not a better qb than newton, and will not be a big a threat ad newton on the field. The only thing newton had done for any team he's played for in college is win, and win big!! The ONLY reason I hope someone else gets newton is if the same coaching staff stays with the panthers offensively. He (newton) has too much to offer to be wasted on fox, davidson and whoever the qb coach is. One other thing about this love for luck you guys have, wasn't the same thing said about clausen last year? He equipped for the NFL because of the system he's coming from...

Clausen is too meek to be the leader, he clearly lacks the charisma required to be better than average. And his skill level is not very impressive either.<br /><br />He is not a fighter, name a play from this season that you looked at and thought "Wow Clausen really did something there." I can only think of the throw to Gettis at the end of the Browns game and it was a much better catch then pass.<br /><br />An earlier comment mentioned some notables that had similar QB ratings as rookies. But I bet they showed some promise at some point that we are not seeing from Clausen at all. Maybe those ratings were a result of INT's offsetting TD's. Clausen can't score but he does show up on the turnover stats every week.<br /><br />If it looks like dogs#$&t and smells like it, then it must be...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-59092137932292673232010-12-14T17:45:15.335-05:002010-12-14T17:45:15.335-05:00I think Jimmy is in the wrong offense to be succes...I think Jimmy is in the wrong offense to be successful. He doesn't have the arm for play action offenses which require deep passes with touch and a fast delivery. I think he would probably do well in a west coast style offense.<br /><br />So I am not ready to write him off as a pro but barring a real philosophy change I don't think his future is here. And I don't think he's our future either.<br /><br />With that said before we try our Luck I think we should pay a lot of attention to pros who may be available.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-37602023220885800152010-12-14T15:50:34.573-05:002010-12-14T15:50:34.573-05:00"get Kellen Moore in the second round". ..."get Kellen Moore in the second round". <br /><br />Kellen M already stated he is returning for his senior year, so he isn't coming out.

I think the best quarter back has set the sidelines all year long. Armanti Edwards can do what none of the others can do and thats run the ball as well. Many people say oh its his size well go back to the likes of Doug Flutie and Ted Marchibroda, heck even Michael Vick is only 5'11". Take a look at the App. St. victory over Michigan watch that and see the size of guys Edwards was around. The problem here is that we have a coaching staff that only thinks with the right side of their brain. At this point I know its about the number one draft pick but I would bet with what we had starting the seasons with healthy backs and receivers this young man would have picked apart defences just as Vick is doing. Well I guess we will never know I do hope someone picks him up and gives him the oppurtunity to show himself so that this coaching staff can walk around kicking themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-81128361345806869662010-12-14T13:36:46.146-05:002010-12-14T13:36:46.146-05:00@dec. 14 at 10:58 a.m

We have too many needs all over the field to take the moonshot at a franchise QB in the top spot. If it fails, we're right back where we started.<br /><br />If we could drop back to #6-7 and pick up 3 more picks in the top 4 rounds, it would be worth it. I'd rather take a top-notch DT, which is usually less of a crap shoot than a QB, and get Kellen Moore in the second round.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110812867350647246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-46827438916916526662010-12-14T11:47:44.271-05:002010-12-14T11:47:44.271-05:00Clausen Can't Play!

It is impossible to accurately predict. I am not saying he is the next Aikman nor the next Leaf. There are too many other things wrong with this team to get an accurate asssessment of his performance. I think the biggest tell will be how he acts in the off season. To see if he takes a step back and takes a look at his faults and works to fix them. This season, and how Clausen handles it in the aftermath, can define his career. This season is a turning point to being a good quarterback or one as a turning point to mediocrity and failure. <br />I hope Clausen proves all the critics wrong and becomes the best quarterback of all time and wins 10Superbowls with the Panthers. Of course I do not truly believe he can win 10 Superbowls, but I do believe he can be a good QB. Regardless of what happens with Clausen, I will be a Panthers fan forever.

See Clausen tripping over his feet, falling to the ground when just trying to hand the ball off. He is JV people! <br /><br />He fell into our lap, teams were not targeting him in the draft. Pick Luck or Newton and start again - that's what you do when you rebuild - you start again with a quarterback. Newton would add to an already dangerous backfield and Luck can flat out play and scramble. There is no threat of our QB making a play unless Davidson drew up, Jimmy can't improvise. <br /><br />Popular opinion aside, this team isn't that bad...good RBs, decent WRs and a defense that stays on the field too long. Its not a bad car, but it needs a driver. Again, name the Rams and Browns wide receivers...nothing (except the homeboy Massaquoi). Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy are competent "drivers", playmakers if you will or at least make few mistakes. AND their teams play for them, that has nothing to do with the skill around him, the playcalling - nothing. That's all on Jimmy. Cam may cheat but he obviously must be a leader cause other than "Rudy" I've never seen a college player carried off the field by his fellow players.

No big feat. His pass game is mediocre and he def wont run over anybody in the NFL.

I think we're all at a consensus that Clausen doesn't look good. The Panthers as a whole look pretty lousy, too. I just think it's harsh and unfair to judge him on his play under this coaching scheme, with second-tier talent on a team riddled with injuries. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Philip Rivers couldn't even save this bunch, though I do doubt they'd look as bad as Clausen.<br /><br />Give Jimmy a decent coaching staff, strong OL, the existing RB combo, a TE who can actually catch, and a couple studs at WR, and I think you'd see a completely different QB.
