Why did we keep Clausen?

You should probably calm down before u pop a blood vessle in your forehead.

Take your medication and have a cup of coffee. Relax... Breathe...

Repeat until desired results are achieved.

And we kept Jimmy because we need a back up QB, and he knows the system. I don't believe Jimmy is going anywhere tbh

You can't possibly have missed the sarcasm that was poured on thick in phillyB's entire post. I refuse to believe someone could be that obtuse. I'm truly baffled right now.

Clausen had a better D than Cam, better OL than Cam, same stud backfield, and a pro bowl WR.....Clausen simply was THAT bad.

Clausen doesn't fit the schemes here...which will always make him look like a joke. He has little to no trade value and he wastes a roster spot.

Clausen did not play defense, he was not coached properly, and he was behind a terrible OL (Bernadeau, Williams, Schwartz) with 2 rookie WRs. Smith was not pro bowl that season, and he was in the top 10 in the league in drops--as well as double teamed every game.

The system was not good for him. I agree. If people fail to consider these things have anything to do with a QBs success, then there is no point in continuing. He is on the roster for reason, and that decision was made by football experts. I doubt anyone on this board was consulted.

He will probally get a a lot of playing time in Preseason now that Cam is the established QB. That could very well add to his trade value if he plays well.

or that could just waste everyone's time since Clausen can't hang in a pocket and go downfield...

can't fix that...therefore he can never run this offense.

Monsta, you cannot avoid the people who think this is a forum for showing their intellectual superiority between shifts at the Qwikie Mart.

Clausen doesn't really save the Panthers any cap room if they cut him ($1 million max). And then they still have to go out and find another QB. So the Panthers are in no rush to cut him and it is quite possible they never will.

QBs mature with familiarity and protection. They probably want to see what they have before cutting or trading him . The cap is no issue.

Clausen didn't play D...he HAD a decent D. That helps QBs. Better D than Cam had, more help from the other units.

OL play was better in 2010 than 2011.

Smitty's #s/production in 2010 were strong when Clausen was ON THE BENCH. Standard Smitty production. Clausen just couldn't throw downfield and wouldn't run the offense.

In 2010, Jimmy Clausen was the problem. He got a shot. He just has no talent to be in anything but an offense designed around the dink and dunk. He COULD be decent...but he won't shine in Chud's scheme to develop into something we could trade.

In 2010, people always tried to deflect why Clausen sucked to something else. He just sucked being asked to be in the type offenses we have run.
