Speaking of Luck, I'm currently watching the Stanford vs. Cal game. Luck only had 6 passing yards in the first quarter, and against a team that is unranked. Granted he had a fantastic run for big yardage, but that's not what we are looking at (scrambling is great, but we are talking about passing here). Now isn't 1st quarter production on offense what we are looking for? I know the kid is a great QB, probably something special. But the whole game so far I've been begging for a pass play in which I don't have to compare Andrew Luck to Byron Leftwich (that 6 yard pass in the 1st quarter had a massive windup).

Not a hater, if we draft him great. I will get excited and get his jersey. I am just expecting some lights out play from him.

he can scramble and run, but that isn't something that he does often. he'd much rather stay in the pocket and make a big play downfield if he can.

btw...that's 132 yards on 10 throws and 7 completions now, plus a TD. i wouldn't put too much stock into what he did in the first quarter. they got the lead and are in control of the game. 24-0 with a couple minutes left in the first half. btw...what would fox do with that kind of lead? harbaugh won't let it go.

Agreed guys. It was after my post that he really started dominating. It's amazing what a young QB (or any QB really) can do when the running game opens up the passing attack. Something our offense hasn't had the luxury of having.

I hope we have the #1 pick. That way, if Clausen does show progression we can trade down, if he doesn't show progression we have a franchise QB secured.

well, that run game works so well because the defense knows that they have to account for luck being able to throw the ball. they respect that passing game and they should. cal has a pretty good defense, in spite of not being ranked. most likely what happened was they had to choose between trying to stop the passing game so stanford was able capitalize on that and run the ball. then cal had to try and pay attention to the run game and then the passing game opened up.

if you don't have a passing game that defenses worry about, your run game won't succeed.

Im on the Jim Harbaugh/ Luck train... need to update my sig.

I like the kid a lot. But I'm not throwing Clausen under the bus just yet. I will let you know by week 16. I really wish JC could match up against the Ravens this Sunday. I would like to see if he could hold his own against a dominate defense. Hopefully he's back to show us if he has what it takes next week. Unless BSP just dominates (lol).

it's not a matter of throwing clausen under the bus.

imo, it's like comparing eli to peyton. eli is a pretty decent QB...but he's no peyton. if you have eli and had a chance at peyton, who would you choose?

clausen might be a good QB, but if you have a chance to get a better QB, why wouldn't you? esp. if you really don't have a whole lot of time or money invested?

Every QB picked to go first overall "is just special"

Clausen was "is just special" last year.

I don't see how people let the wool slide back down over their eyes every year.

Traditional PantherFan philosophy of the grass is always greener.

it's thinking like that which resulted in far too many years of jake delhomme.

I never really looked at it that way. I agree with you. Hopefully he comes out this year and we scure the #1 pick. But my question is... How do you know Harbaugh is looking to coach Pro next season? And if he did, what makes him take the Panthers over the 49ers or even the Cowboys? Dallas already has all the tools on offense to suit his Power Running game with great WR's. He might want a championship now and not later. Plus he is only 27-21 at Stanford. Not much experience at the college level IMO. But I do love his creativity.

Anyone got an answer?
