Let's assume Jimmy Clausen has a successful season as starter for the Panthers in

[Dpantherman]

The Orton-The Golden Calf of Bristol gap is a lot bigger than the Cam-clausen gap, from what i've been hearing.

I compare this to whats going on in Denver.

The Fans want The Golden Calf of Bristol.

The coach likes what he see in Orton.

The owner wants asses in the seats...

Who plays?

Except Rivera doesn't like what he sees in Orton more than Newton. Jimmy is clearly starting now to try and showcase him a bit, and to give Cam some more time learning, he's only had a couple weeks with the coaches, give him a few more before throwing him out to first team defenses.

no it's not, because john fox is literally like the al borland of the nfl and will always go with the "steady hand" at veteran QB instead of a younger, flashier passer. Ron Ron's a little more open minded

Jimmy has the potential to be a great QB, in the right system and with the right development just as a lot of other guys. Jimmy had a great high school career, which came over to college after roughing out some kinks and look what he achieved?

There is something about Jimmy -- that I see in him -- that I just don't see in Cam. People are expecting the Jimmy from last year, however now he has a healthy o-line (skilled too) and a new offensive style to play with. Why can't he become the starter for the Panthers?

He compares, isn't saying the same.

It's so funny jimmy has a couple of good practices and suddenly he's gonna be the net coming of favre. hilarious how desperate we are.

Who said he's the next Favre? =o That's a bit silly.

I've seen people compare him using his body to throw the ball stronger then solely with arm strength.

[footballisasport]

says who? a good QB coach can do some work with him.

You can't teach confidence.

someone said that???

[armistice]

You can't teach confidence.

In a way, yes you can. Building confidence for example, is often needed for any athlete, why can't a coach help with this? :\

no it isn't comparableeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[chef17]

Can someone explain to me why if that scenario played out the coaching staff would trade a young proven QB for a young unproven QB?

[armistice]

no it isn't comparableeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

He cannot compare it? K.

Jimmy gets traded.

agreed!! if Jimmy Clausen has a good season (and it COULD happen, you never know) then he gets traded and his trade value improves from (what is now) a 5th or 6th round pick to a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
