Clausen article

I understand he has a lot of haters.  But I think everyone should give the man props for class.  Not what we expected from him...makes that even better.

 

He always seems to say the right things and does not try to draw attention to himself.  He may not be a great talent, but I respect him.

Uhhh ... tough to respect a guy who shows up on signing day in a fur coat and a Hummer limo.

 

However, I do respect the fact he tanked our '10 season so we ended up with Cam, blessing in disguise.

I think Clausen has really always had class. He was given the Cam Newton treatment from the beginning, unfortunately for him the media was correct and the real Cam Newton came along.

He will always be serviceable but he doesn't have much to be classless about all things considered. Glad he's a panther but also glad he's only our 3rd string QB.

Honestly, I can't say what type of talent he has because I can't really count that one season.  I know that I can take a hint by him being on third string, but I would still like to believe he has more talent than was displayed when he was on the grand stage.  Moreover, I would think that Clausen has to have learned something from the sidelines (like he said) that would allow him to harness that talent.

 

The story hasn't been completely written on AE, but I wouldn't mind Clausen following a similar track this year.  I wish him well.

BTW, regarding fur coats and hummers, most kids coming to the NFL have to grow up.

In all fairness to him being a third stringer, DA may be the best backup QB in the league.

This idea seems to be a joke around here, but I think there's a glimmer of hope he plays exceptionally well all preseason and we can trade him for a future 7th or some crappy player and knock off 500k in cap space.

    • Yep, even if you put aside any discussion about what you think about him as a player or how good he'll be, the one thing that is a 100% certainty is that he's going to make some plays that just drop your jaw and question how he did what we just saw. This is interesting as it was something I'd never even thought/heard of until he was walking on stage after we took him.  One of the analysts on NFL Network brought it up saying something like, "I don't agree with this idea, but I know a lot of college coaches tell the star WRs to purposefully take plays off when they know it's not coming to them" It was interesting because the way he said it, almost sounded like he's heard that it was something the Arizona coaches would tell T-Mac to do.  Which on a team like ours last year, actually makes a ton of sense, because we had NOBODY else who the defense had to worry about.  So instead of taking him off the field to give him a breather, just throw him out there on the far side of the field as a dummy to keep the defense's attention and then run a play in the other direction. You're right, he isn't "as quick" as Evans, because he's quicker.  Sure, Evans does use his body better than T-Mac does, but T-Mac is a better athlete with more wiggle to his game and better at making a defender miss whereas Evans is just more likely to run through you. And your edit here is basically just an add on to my above comment, as personally, I've used the AJ Green comp for him ever since his first game for us at Arizona, it was always who I saw in his game.  He has that fluidity that Green had to him, and at their size it stands out. Actually saw another comp last night that I hadn't seen before, and while I'll admit it's been YEARS since I've seen any film of him, my immediate reaction was, "oh wow, that might be a real solid comp for style of play" And that was of Plaxico Burress. I'd like to see T-Mac have a better overall career than Plax had (especially off the field), but from what I remember about his game, the comp for body/style of play actually seems pretty solid
    • Dan signed up shortly before he opened the pizza place, kind of did a little promotion on here to get panther fans to stop by. Several huddlers reported back to say they met Dan at the restaurant, and that he would hang out and talk football and that the food was good. (I thought it was average and kinda overpriced, he wasn’t there when I went). Since his interactions were going positively, he would post from time to time on topics and give a bit of his insight. Problem is it that was around 2009, the year after Jake melted down with the 6 TO game in the playoffs, and basically started the season with similar performances. Everyone was livid that Jake got an extension that offseason and the consensus of the fans was that it was time to see what Matt Moore had. Dan in one of the threads (and in an Interview on 610) said that what he had heard from the team is that Moore was struggling with the playbook and that why he wasn’t starting. People got mad about that and started saying things like oh that’s your concussions talking…and unsurprisingly he left (but without any sort of announcement, he just stopped posting). He probably wasn’t here for more than a month or two tops, the restaurant closed that following offseason.   Dragging the pizza joint didn’t really happen to my recollection until it was announced that he was the new GM and a few of the crazies (OP of this thread among them) equated his restaurant not succeeding to not being fit to be in charge of football operations. You know, typical huddle stuff.
