Per Yasinskas: Quarterback Competition?

[trucpfan]

P55 I believe it but I just want to check to make sure we're not still just choosing because we have done that for the last few years

[The Saltman]

One in particular was really nice and the receiver who had two steps on the CB in single coverage dropped the ball.

That was the only one I saw.

Im just saying The Golden Calf of Bristol had 1 good throw and then he looked like he was about to get raped every play. At least Clausen threw some good balls and looked poised. I just don't agree that The Golden Calf of Bristol looked better than Clausen.

Like we both said, they each threw one good pass. Clausen got sacked 2 times as well and ran for his life others. Neither was all that great, Clausen just got a better game plan since he had a running game and was brought along slowly in the second quarter. He looked good as much because the coaches didn't try and make him do too much as much as it was his skill level.

Look I am on the Moore bandwagon,

just an FYI.

Since this is the first year that Jake has gone in as the starter since 2004, I would say it was more wide open than it has been in years.

That was the only one I saw.

He also threw a good pass much later that was caught for about 20-30 yards with only a couple YAC.

I watched both. The Golden Calf of Bristol had issues and so did Clausen. Truth is Clausen threw 3 balls that should have been picked. The one that was, the Moore pass, and the one to the back in traffic.

He really threw 1 good ball to Rosario and that is it. He is a project like The Golden Calf of Bristol.

I don't agree with you on this AT ALL!

The pass to Moore should not have been an interception, that was a great pass and catch! The interception was not his fault and take a look at the pass back into "traffic" all you see are panthers standing around absolutely NO threat of being picked off...that is what you call a heads up play and you see wily old vets like Brett throw those all the time! Why do you have so much hate for Clausen?

Seems like pat is streching it to make an article.

The pass to Moore was horrible judgment and that was a good play by Moore not by Clausen. It should have been a pick or at the least an incomplete but Moore made a great catch on a badly thrown ball.

The interception was his fault even though the receiver slipped. He threw it into tight double coverage on the sideline.

The pass back across his body is a technical no-no but he threw it to the right place and it worked. I won't dock him for that.

WAY too much is being put into the 1st preseason where Clausen played against scrubs.

There is a reason why all reports have said Moore is lightyears ahead of Clausen prior to that game....

Those reports of him being light years better than Clausen stopped after the Panthers had their first scrimmage. People stopped saying there was a true QB competition around that time as well and everyone just assumed Moore was a lock to start all of this season. After that game, and now after the first preseason game, people are starting to say there is a QB competition.

Factor in how the front office feels about him and you know he will play sooner or later. Hurney almost cried on tv after drafting Clausen. They have been nothing but ecstatic when talking about him.

I don't see how anyone can honestly think the Panthers will keep Clausen on the bench for 2-3 years of his 4 year contract. Matt Moore is gone after this year in all likelihood. He plays well, we can't afford to keep him. He plays bad, nobody will start him.

And for everyone who keeps talking about Clausen with the two's and Moore with the ones... Moore would have looked bad on the twos as well with that offensive line. They block nobody. I see no reason why Clausen wouldn't have done just as well as Moore with the ones that game with a better offensive line. Clausen likely wouldn't have been blasted and fumbled like Moore did either since Clausen was reading the defense very well.

Maybe the speed of the game doesn't affect Moore anymore since he has been here a while and he is ahead of Clausen on that, but Clausen definitely reads a defense and makes pre-snap reads better than Moore does and he is only a rookie.

[panthers55]

And I was late to that bandwagon and will be even later to Clausen's. I am of the "show me" school before just jumping on the bandwagon. So far what Clausen did was a start. Lets see what happens down the road.

:cheers2:

Clausen is on the bench 2-3 years if Moore gets us to the NFCCG and maybe just the playoffs.

[Fiz]

I bet ESPN made him write something to this effect

Yep

Wrong, look at the replay, ball was out of the reach of the receivers hands, it was tiped by Moore and caught by Moore...the ball was thrown only where the receiver could catch it...at least thats the way it looks in every replay I have seen...Also, seems like analyst would be talking about how terrible that play was instead of showing it as highlights and saying how great it was! Am I wrong here? Was it not tiped by Moore and caught by Moore?

The interception was his fault even though the receiver slipped. He threw it into tight double coverage on the sideline.

Double coverage? I can't find anything on youtube, didn't look that hard either, but I only remember one guy covering that play...the guy that intercepted it when he fell down?!

The pass back across his body is a technical no-no but he threw it to the right place and it worked. I won't dock him for that.

So when vets do it and its a great heads up play there is nothing wrong with it but since it was a rookie he gets docked? Lets see if they hold that play against sir Brett when the HoF comes knocking
