"This isn't Panther related!"

good for clausen, bad for bears fans when cutler gets his annual injury 

 

ANNUAL injury.  I read that wrong on the first pass.

never hated him.  he was a poor fit in our system and was drafted to play for a coach who would have rather taken a 3 wood to the balls than select him if he had a say in the matter.

 

he kept his head down and put in work when he was here.  the diva stuff never really materialized  and i don't remember him bitching to the media or throwing tantrums even in the absolute pits of the 2010 season.  even when it became clear that the one abortion of a season he got significant time in was going to be it for him and he was done as the panthers' starter the moment cam's name was called he adapted to the role.

[The Huddler]

hope culter gets fuged up. I think jimmeh can be good

[MrBubba]

Didn't the Mayans predict this?

[Rise of The Hive]

It wouldn't be the NFL without the clipboard king.

Not shocked.

 

 

Trestman is a solid QB coach.  Pickles didn't have the skill set for a Chud/Coryell O.

we had a system in 2010?  i thought i was straight playground style.

[Happy Panther]

that means the world is one cutler injury away from a newton vs. clausen week 5?

i'm circling it on the calendar!

What if that happens and he beats us? I don't want to lose but the entertainment factor alone might be worth it.

I don't have any ill will towards kid pickle, glad he's making something out of his career.  He was a bad rookie, and didn't do anything with the chance he was given, and by the time he could have gotten it together, Cam had taken reign and redesigned the offense to one that he had no possibility of running effectively.  In the right system, I still think Clausen can be decent, but it wasn't gonna happen here.  Hell, Andy Dalton has the same skillset as Pickles, but he's in an offense built around his skills with an out of this world talent at receiver.
