So much for his career. Hope we win but I doubt we win 2 games this year.

Nostradamus :D

Nostradamus :D

You doubted winning 2 games.

[JawnyBlaze]

You called the exact opposite of what happened.

Oh lawl. I am still supporting Jimmy personally, as a backup and as a potential starter with the right coaching and given enough time. Panthers should have picked up a guy on FA last year, and have had him compete with Moore instead of handing him the job.

When Moore failed (if he did, maybe competition did him good?) someone else would have came up and Jimmy wouldn't have had to be rushed in as a starter. That is what made him fail, not everything had to do with his skill level.

Would be interesting to see how much the season would have changed if we picked up someone on FA last year to beat out Moore on starting position or go to backup. :\ Silly last year Panthers.

this thread needed a bump because?

Was reading through articles -- I mean its 5:45 AM and all, nothing much to do but wait until Mike and Mike ESPN Radio comes on -- and I found something really great from Blaine Gabbert...

“Being a backup quarterback in the NFL is the easiest job in the world because everybody thinks you are better than the starter,” Gabbert said. “That couldn’t be more wrong. That changes real quick when you start playing on the football field.”

Really sums up this thread, how everyone thought Jimmy was going to so good coming into the starting position after he was suppose to sit behind Moore that year and grow. I personally wouldn't have started him, hired a QB from FA and let fans bitch etc while I let Jimmy develop. Of course, while he wasn't only rushed in starting he probably didn't have the best coaching out and about. So er, yeah. :\

Would be interesting where we would be right now if Jimmy sat behind Moore or another QB the entire year, probably would've drafted a DT first round or something like that. ^^ People should give me their ideas on what you think about what would be different if the scenario above played out.

(would have made a thread but I'm not at 100 posts, I don't spam very much)

Because change the name from Clausen to Newton and you have the same thing.

[armistice]

Newton is much better at moving about then Clausen was last year (haven't been to any of the practices, I dunno about this year), I believe this will help Newtons play a lot, I am projecting that he gets a 76% QB rating or somewhere around there. Anyways, I forgot what else I was going to say.

[armistice]

Oh yes, I remember, lets hope that Newton doesn't turn into something similar to The Golden Calf of Bristol, he doesn't have a good QB to learn behind of. :\

The Golden Calf of Bristol was teh most over hype player ever. He should never have been drafted in the first round. Cam atleast looks and throws like a QB.

[armistice]

The Golden Calf of Bristol could be developed into a good QB, but yes, he shouldn't have been drafted so early. And, it was pretty silly for Denver to have drafted him. Cam could still end up being just as sloppy, or near or more so sloppy at passing as The Golden Calf of Bristol is. I heard plays where Cam had some terrible throws, but whatever, we'll see. :3
