I thought Clausen looked good...

[scpanther22]

While A.J. Green would be a no brainer pick up i doubt we get him, i see us getting an all-pro defensive tackle. we could use upgrades at the DT spot, WR, Tight End (imagine if WE had Gresham), O-Line Guard, and finally cornerback since it looks like marshal is gone and if we get an injury in the secondary we are SCREWED.

I wish we had our 2nd round pick so we could get kyle Rudolph more than likely with it and use the 1st rounder on A.J. Green. Get whoever is the best CB in free agency, and draft O Guard in the 3rd round. Finally, get two big DT's in free agency. Super Bowl team bitches.

I dont see a DT worth taking in the top 5..

I thought Jimmy looked bad today. Worst I have seen him yet.

FACT: Jimmy had two expectations coming in today. To paraphrase Fox, provide a spark and jump start our offense, do better with this same team than Matt.

FACT: He failed at both of those things. Our WORST passing performance yet. NO PASSING TOUCHDOWNS! Jimmy had 0 Touchdowns and 1 interception.

Ultimately isn't that the point?

Would you rather him lob three passes into the end zone for interceptions?

I'd rather have neither. But that's just me. Since when is it ok to be ok with poor performance just because the alternative is also poor?

Clausen is going to be the starter next week, of that there is little doubt. He did nothing today to lose the job.

In the second half:

15/26 for 154 yards

Moore got worse every game as it went on and Clausen showed MARKED improvement in the second half.

Seriously though, are you off your rocker? You think this was our worst passing performance this season?!! Worse than Matt Moore throwing 3 INTERCEPTIONS IN THE END ZONE AGAINST THE GIANTS?!! Moore also fumbled twice in that game. 3 picks and 2 fumbles. This game was 1 pick and 2 fumbles and we got better later in the game.

In the Buc game Moore had 1 TD 1 INT and 1 Fumble again. He also completed just 6 of 16 passes.

I don't care who we put in at QB we are still going to be a bad offense. The o-line just doesn't have it together. Field position hurt us most of the day as well. I though our defense played okay considering the ridiculous amount of time they were on the field and the great field position Cincy consistently started drives with. My hats off the the cin. punter. He killed us time and time again.

[Happy Panther]

At halftime I said he looked terrible. Worst QB performance i have ever seen. he was like 2/7 with one INT. In addition he missed 2 or 3 wide open guys (seemed to have a problem with trowing low...glove?)

Looked decent in the 2Q. I'm not going to say he looked good because any other team with his performance would be angry. However for a first start and compared to what we have seen the past 2 years it was promising.

I look forward to watching him develop

[PanthersPhan18]

Yeah Clausen plays great when our team is down 2 or 3 touchdowns. With that said, he should have a great game against the Saints.

God, I hope so

TD or run, the way they are scored doesn't matter.

Clausen had a decent day for a rookie, not great, not bad.

[CLTPanther]

Clausen should start the rest of the season

You said this is the worst passing performance we had all year and we have pointed out that Moore's game 1 was far worse than this. There is no excuse for 3 interceptions in the end zone along with 2 fumbles. You flat out said today was worse than that and that was far from the truth.

[rayzor]

people expecting more out of a rookie in his first start playing on a team that hasn't got it's crap together are living in a fantasy world.

he looked like crap the first half but who really didn't expect that might happen?

once he settled down a little in the second half he looked a little better. i just want to see improvements every week and i have no reason to believe we won't.

there are a lot more problems than jimmy in there but i know that he needs to stay in there and take his lumps and keep moving forward.

no one believed that clausen coming in would fix everything right away. it's just going to take time but it will be worth it.

still, i'm looking forward to getting a new coach in here.

You just argued against yourself. Matt showed improvement from one game to the next.

Another fact: Matt and the team improved last week compared to the first week. The team did NOT improve with Jimmy compared to last week. The passing is worse.

His passing % isn't so much better than Matt's to compensate for the lack of a touchdown.

While its hard to get behind this. We really have no choice.
