Official Preseason Game 2: Panthers vs Dolphins Thread

[GritsRgreat]

Jimmy had the better game last week when he was the starter playing against starters and he had the better game playing against the backups this week.

Is that saying he played great, no. Is that saying he should start, too early to tell.

"Guys Clausen was fuging destroying this pee-wee football team the other day, it was AMAZING. He was UNSTOPPABLE!!"

also, did Olsen get in any plays with Jimmy? Couldn't see everyone who was in every play...

The savior Cam Newton looked awful. No spin tonight... awful.

Awful? Get the stick out of your ass.

And to turn around a common criticism of last year, Clausen didn't look great but found a way to put points on the board.

Welcome to making excuses...

Yes, 3 touchdowns were awesome.

[Gipetto]

Cam showed that he's still learning but has a ton of promise.

[KillerKat]

Prove me wrong with numbers, Jimmy 2 td drives Cam none.

lol only fugtards would use numbers as a way to say who is better in the preseason. You have to be able to actually watch them to make an informed opinion. They played evenly tonight. I don't know what game people were watching when they say one was better than the other. And saying "Jimmy had 2TD drive and Cam none" is ignorant at best.

[pantherpain]

Jimmy had 2 TD drives?

Then how'd we only end up with 10 points? :confused:

we played two games...lol

[Fox007]

Well were still the Panthers, making below avg QB's look like Joe Montana and even worse RB's look like Emmit Smith.

[Makish]

Still need a DT

He looked "awful" tonight, really? c'mon man.

Clausen found a way to put one TD on the board with a short field and a great catch by Olsen. I would expect Clausen to be clearly outperforming Cam @ this point and he's not even close, so you might as well go with Cam.

[TheRealDeal]

Still waiting for Cam to destroy any team, Pee wee or not

[mav1234]

i feel like the choice is going to come down to "possibly-adequate-but-likely-not versus not-ready-but-maybe-later-in-the-year-will-be".

[barrett]

My biggest concern after this game is the way the Dolphins ran the ball down our throat. This is why you don't go into a season with two rookie DT's 3rd year player who was on the PS last year... the minute Ron Edwards went down we should have got busy and signed someone.

Not sure the waiver wire will have anyone that can help us, we may need to trade for someone that can give us a presence in the middle.

Agreed.. Our defensive effort worries me. That was horrific.

[rico6]

What I take away from tonight...

Cam was given every opportunity to show, with the play calling, if he could carry a team when all we can do is throw. (Like coming from behind) and I feel he fell a little short. He could still be the starter though because Jimmy didn't distance himself either.

Playcalling?

The playcalling was awful tonight.
