Is QB Jimmy Clausen's Panthers Career Almost Over?

We better cut him.

You weren’t ready for what was thrown at you, or for what you were throwing at, last year. Life sucks sometimes, but you know the saying about “One door closes…” Make the best of it.

apparently, we can save a mil, so his carolina career is over.

riding the bench

I dont believe he is a headcase I just beleive he is not a leader and he relies on his own talents and that doesnt work in the NFL. You have to be a leader and put in the effort. I think someone will definatley pick him up just based on his following coming out of the draft.

I say show him the door. That fool doesnt deserve that CA$H! Lets get Josh Johnson, he definitely likes to watch Cam do this thing.

Seems unlikely now

Feel bad for the guy, because he really was placed in a no win situation a year ago… he doesn’t seem to have the ability to be a starting QB, but, perhaps in the right system, he can catch on. Hope he does, but for 1 mil, sorry bud, but you have got to hit the road.

I was an advocate for his success which was never manifested in Carolina. I do earnestly appreciate him for what he was for this organization… a stop gap quarterback, and a horrible one at that. I may sound as if I’m being cynical; however I mean those negative words with nothing best overall intentions.

Jimmy could have done fairly ok in Carolina… enough to keep his job (by maybe winning a couple extra games), but the organization would have went in a different direction draft day to build around him. That kind of building could have taken years only to realize that he is not the answer. Another team would have selected Cam Newton and we would be watching him light the NFL on fire.

So with much respect "Thank you Jimmy, from me and my family". Thank you for the interceptions, for "ALL" the check downs, the fumbles, the stumbles, and the infamous batted balls. It was definitely hard to watch at the time… seemingly wicked or cursed really, keep in mind that it was because of your consistent contributions on the field… that the Carolina Panthers are the team that they are today.

There’s no need for tears… chin’s held high over here. Your name will go down… in Carolina History.

Happy trails my friend=)

Think about Clausen with a year under his belt, no lame duck coaching staff, a genuine offensive coordinator, and a good QB coach. I have to feel that he would have looked like a completely different player. After all, Moore didn’t really do much better despite being experienced, and look at what he turned in down in Miami.

But Clausen, even if he reached is full potential, is still nowhere near as good as Cam is going to be. And he’s never going to play the same game, so there’s no point in him being a back up here. I expect Hurney to either cut him loose or try and get a late round pick for him, and I also expect him to start at least one more NFL game in his career.

Personally, i wish him the best. After all, if Clausen hadn’t had such a difficult rookie season, Newton might be a Bronco or a Bill right now.
