Clausen disscusion here

[Fiz]

I am unhappy with this selection.

Thoughts?

Now Brayton has a brother-of-the-brow he can hang with.

Love the pick. They need a wr bad but panthers needed a qb bad as well and this one actually has the potential to be great. He played pro offense and can probably start without to much of a problem. The only problem I have is it is an incompetent qb developing coaching staff mainly due to inexperience. Not all QBs are fiery like Jake, they have skills instead, that need to be 'coached'.

I was hoping for a WR like Tate, but it will turn out to be a good move. If Moore doesn't work out, and I hope for the record he does work out, it is nice insurance. This day and age you have to have a franchise QB to win a Superbowl(normally). Hopefully Moore is the franchise, but if not, hopefully Claussen is .

I love it. If it doesn't work out trade him for a 2nd rounder, if it does sweet we got a franchise QB. I want to trade back into round 2 for Tate though.

Im suprised to say the least, but I think management couldnt believe he had fallen so far and were wiling to bet that he is a good value for a 48th.

I dont see him starting over Moore, but I think he is going to be a viable back up with very good future potiential.

[Brokenbad]

My opinion? It STINKS!!!

Great freakin going FO.

Now you have taken away a good QB's confidence by selecting a literal "joke" and completely ignoring areas of need.

This is absolutely, 110%, completely, undeniabley a literally worthless pick.

Look at some of the other talent that was on the board at that time!!!!

One last thing, the stupid ass draft analyst referred to one of our RB's as "James Stewart" What a silly fine young male.

[Dpantherman]

I won't sleep tonight. im shocked. im excited. im shaking. wow. damn.

[MorgulKing]

I wanted Tate WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.....

If it wasn't going to be Tate I'm glad it was Clausen.

But still..........Tate WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

[5158Poundin]

At least we didn't trade away any picks to get him. This could be a good thing. A little competition isn't going to hurt Matt Moore. I look forward and hope we get a receiver next!!!

[Razzy]

Strange pick? Maybe, but a very smart insurance policy for Fox. He was the best value on the board, and there will be WR and D-line help available in the 3rd and 4th.

Maybe Moore doesn't succeed. Now, we have a backup who could be a franchise QB. If Moore does succeed, even better because then we can trade one of the two for value. QBs are always in demand.

Hurney & Fox seem to believe that they have enough of the right pieces in place to make a move like this. How's that for a draft day shocker though huh? I think in the end this pick will work out well.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

A worthless pick? Let the man play before you say that. I have a feeling he will prove a lot of people on this board and elsewhere wrong.

Knowing Carolina, we are going to be making moves to get the man some weapons. (Hopefully that Fighting Irish combination with Tate and Clausen.)
