clausen still part of "long term plan"...wait what?


Recommended Posts

According to Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald, Jimmy Clausen is still part of the Panthers' "long-term plan."

Gantt predicts that the Panthers will sign a veteran to paper over the quarterback position, and hope Clausen makes strides on the sideline. Ideally, it would be an aggressive veteran willing to teach. Clausen's skill set is above average, but he was too often scared to throw downfield as a rookie.

winning plan! sit around behind some vet and hope that clausen develops into a good QB!

so what happens if he doesn't?

how long of a chance to we give him as a starter before we figure out he isn't worth the start?

what do we do in the meantime?

if clausen doesn't turn out to be a good QB, then we have to start the whole thing over again and go through another 3 years of the same crap.

Is anyone really surprised here? Gantt's been tweeting this all along.

They're not going to judge Clausen off of last year alone. He'll get a shot in camp but I think there is a bit too much emphasis around here about being part of the long term plan meaning that they're going to sit him for 3 years than throw him out there... He may just end up a career backup, and they're not going to pass on talent for him forever.

However, everything is still on the table. We'll see who is available in the draft and in free agency.

the Panthers aren't just going to have blinders on for the next couple years. You can evaluate a quarterback's improvements in camp, practice, preseason, and any playing time he does get. You don't dismiss him now and you consider him an option but you bring in competition from other sources to make the team better.

the Panthers made the pick.. I don't understand why you would cast out a rookie QB who had to play for offensive guru's under the likes of Fox and Davidson..

he may never be a star, but the best thing you do in this situation is let him sit the bench for 2 years and see what you get afterwards...

I wouldn't solely rely on him, go out and make something else happen.. if you feel there is a QB in this draft, get him, if not, you go from there and try to find one..

    • Regardless I can't imagine we draft two edge rushers. 
    • The players who will be available to us with those picks are irrelevant because it's still not a good trade.  And for at sam that has a recent history of making bad draft pick based trades, all this trade would do is make teams continue to low ball us in trade offers because it's clear we get pushed around. And it being that type of draft is also exactly why it's a terrible trade, because it's a bit of a crapshoot draft, so every pick you move down, makes you more likely to make a wrong pick than a right one.  Even over drafting a player is a smarter move, because it means we are still taking someone we REALLY believe in, which in a draft like this is more important than value, because it gives you a better chance of hitting on the pick. All of that is also before you even dig in further and see that this is proposing a trade with the Falcons. If we're allowing a divisional opponent to move up from 15 to 8 to take someone they clearly badly want, you need to make them bleed for it.  I made my comments before realizing it, and still stick by that trade package if it was a non NFCS team, now knowing it's the Falcons, if we're going from 8 to 15, I want next year's 1st and 2nd as well as this year's 2nd, anything less and they can go kick rocks.
    • If we aren’t sold on anyone at 8, this would be a good trade imo. We would get a really good player at 46. This is an unusual draft with a lot of really good players from 10-50.
