You know what's sad? No matter who starts at QB, the Clausen pick has already divided this board and our fan base more than ever. Bickering about a player is such a waste of energy and time. Sure I have my preference, but I'll support whoever throws the rock this season.

Just as long as Jarrett isn't thrown to. :wink:

i'm being won over.

i still want to see what moore can do but i'm starting to get the idea that clausen can take the team further. i'm really wanting to see what clausen can do with this team around him. the possibilities are getting me excited about the future.

I agree with everything except for one thing... I don't know if Mcdaniels wanted a system guy. But think Mcdaniels wanted a QB that would be all over his nuts. And The Golden Calf of Bristol is that guy. :)

I really don't get the The Golden Calf of Bristol pick. It's not like he has exceptional tools to work with - his arm isn't that strong. His throwing motion will need completely reworking (which should improve his accuracy). He won't be able to run in the NFL.

All he has is his 'competitive spirit', which Clausen gets bagged for. McDaniels is playing with fire here - it's a ballsy pick, but jeez he's risking his job over it.

Oh and Moore isn't a stud. He's a gun slinger (without the elite arm) being shoe-horned into a game manager role, nothing more.

I agree with you here. One thing that I am unsure of is does anyone other than me thing that he can possibly go through regressions? I know back when I pitched in highschool changing my mechanics it was damn hard for me to do. And because I had pitched the same way for years there were in fact times when i regressed and went back to my old ways... I mean I know these are two different sports were talking about here but i think the concept is pretty much the same. I am confident when i say The Golden Calf of Bristol will not be near the QB Clausen will be and I am happy i'm not a broncos fan...

And i know everyone has probably seen this but i thought i'd put it here anyways. I heard in the days leading up to the draft that Jimmy "threw his receiver under the bus." Personally I did not think that at all. He was just stating what happened. And he didn't seem to be that cocky asshole so many perceive him to be.. Just my two cents though. enjoy

Changing mechanics can be done - Brad Ziegler of the Oakland Athletics is now a submariner after failing as a conventional pitcher. It just takes a lot of time, effort and hard work.

Not something I want to spend a 1st round pick on.

Exactly my point. Why waste a first round pick on a developmental pick like The Golden Calf of Bristol. And taking Demaryius Thomas before Dez? Borderline retarded. That draft is Epic fail.

I don't like the person, but he's our QB now so I'm pulling like hell for him. I may actually buy his jersey once it's up to make it easier :P

Anyone wanting any of our picks/players to crash has their priorities out of whack. Armanti seems to be getting more of that so far though.

I don't like ND, never have... so I have a built in bias against anything from ND - but with that being said, it's hard to argue with the FACTS presented in this writeup, Clausen is a great find for us and could end up being one of the biggest draft steals of all time.

that was 1 year, have you seen his other years?

7td's/6int's

25td's/17int's

28td's/4int's

incosistancy is a big thing in the NFL and that is not consistant

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Clausen

uhhh okay? All I see there is that he progressed and became better.

Peyton Manning: 11td/6int -> 22td/4int -> 20td/12int -> 37td/11int

Philip Rivers: 25td/10int -> 16td/7int -> 20td/20int -> 34td/7int

etc, I could sit here and name tons of elite QB's who had shaky college seasons.

all that matters is he improved.

      I do not want nor have the energy to start a sanders vs BY topic..... Heres where Im at, what else is Titans Levi's or colts Arich going give in a trade...... Im no sanders fan, but it wouldn't bug me if caralas/Brandt/tepper/who____ wanted to go another route.....yes its been a QB whirlwind since ...to long.... still Im not sold on the skill and talent of one BY.   I think this is first year in many in which Carolina with have the same HC, QB, and GM. Its been a mess...

      Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart

      No one should be the least bit surprised by this organization doing powerfully stupid stuff. You don't accidentally achieve the worst record in the NFL since 2018, it takes consistently awful decisions to pull that off. And then the cherry on top of the dog poo sundae is that every year when we're closing in on a top 5 pick, here comes a couple of meaningless moral victories to fug that up. I'd be curious what percentage of our wins in the Tepper era have come when we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

      I think remember doing mock Sims for Carolina as many others, I don't think any of picked RBs in any rounds.... I honestly had the same "my team let me down" feels with the BY pick........just WHY all the holes and one of the spots were they have depth AND the RB market is at the lowest point in NFL history..... Just a    Per normal the huddle was for all for Zach Frazier, not me I wanted Marshawn Kneeland. Plus I wanted to REMAIN AT whatever LA pick and NOT TRADE UP FOR A ACL injuried RB. My friend was right, Dan did draft like he was still playing in his era..... ugh, Brandt and Dan cannot have that same problem this year......its beginning year 2 of a full 3 year rebuild..... for fugs sake, please find some talent and depth in later rounds....
