Clausen's potential

[antame]

Clausen had the deck stacked against him to be sure, and I don't think anyone was expecting miracles, but he showed absolutely nothing to cause anyone to believe he'll ever be a good QB in the NFL, nevermind the circumstances. In fact he showed the opposite. The guy was absurdly bad.

I'm surprised we could find a new Clausen fanboy this late into the game..this smells of shenanigans.

I'm sorry, I didn't know I was supposed to assume your thoughts wouldn't match what you type. My fault I suppose.

P.S. Your spelling is fine, but your sentence structure needs some work. Have a good one.

Haha, I love it when a guy with a cartoon avatar with flames and knives breaks away from his D&D game long enough to spellcheck my posts!

I have a strange feeling yours is going to be a short stay; voluntarily or otherwise.

It's called sarcasm dickhead. Also, don't act like you know who I am or what I'm into. You're clueless.

There are tons of guys that come on this board and try to make points or start threads they hope will really catch fire. Most of them don't have a fuging clue what they are talking about. I'm just saying if you want to be taken seriously then make sure you have the details correct. So don't go getting all ass hurt. Jesus.

While i agree that he has potential, Clausen didnt play his senior year, he left for the NFL after his junior year and a big part of the reason was because Weis left and Locker stayed in school, but i agree he has potential, just not as a panther, they have quit on him, that's easy to spot, but some team will give him a chance.

[MWCarolina]

Im not ready to write him off just yet.

He has potential to be a legit starter imo.

yeah i feel the same way, i am not saying he will be great, but i am not ready to write him off yet, i do think he has potential, i just dont see it as a panther, Newton WILL be the guy here, they drafted him number one overall and they didnt draft him that high to sit.

I think the '85 Browns started rookie qb & wr's...

I apologize, sometimes the ridiculous amount of sarcastic remarks make it difficult to read the board and gauge what a person's intentions are. Sorry.

I know my opinion doesn't mean much on this board. I know most will probably rip me for saying this.

Jimmy Clausen was the best pure passer I've ever seen in college football his senior year. His earlier years, you could see his potential shine through here and there, but his senior year was amazing. Full command of the offense, pinpoint accuracy, and great decision making.

His rookie year with Carolina, he was terrible, much like his freshman year of college. However, I don't think so many should write him off in the NFL so soon. Maybe his skills will never translate to the NFL, but his rookie year was not a good sample set to go off. His coaches didn't believe in him and he was thrown in the mix after a veteran QB couldn't do any better with this team. He was the 1st rookie QB to start games with rookie WRs on both sides in NFL history. His OL was injury-stricken and awful in pass protection. He had no TE to speak of to throw to. Steve Smith...injured, D Williams...injured. All of the veteran leadership was traded away before the season. The coaching staff mailed it in after deeming Matt Moore the starter and that didn't work out. Also, Jimmy was coming off surgery to repair a torn ligament in his foot. All this while dealing with constant media torment about sliding in the draft and having "character" issues (which were largely from hype surrounding his limo at his commitment to ND which he had no part of setting up).

Anyway, I'm not comparing him to any other QBs on or off the Carolina roster, I'm just saying the kid can be the QB we hoped he would still.

So I guess the media's labeling of QBs with the "character issue" tag wasn't just done this year. WOW...Who knew...

I'll grant the deck was stacked against Clausen last year, but I don't think anyone was expecting miracles, and he showed absolutely nothing that might lead one to think he has any future as an NFL QB. He was absurd.

honestly, i dont see what character issues he had last year, he was awful on the field last year, but he wasnt having character issues.

Nice try Jimmy. Get the fug out of these forums and figure the following out.

1. Not check down every play

2. Throw the ball slightly higher than 6 feet on the ground

3. Show some emotion instead of that scared-ass look that you do so well

i doubt Jimmy is on a message board promoting himself, same goes for Newton too.
