If Q, too bad

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on February 22, 2012, 11:32 AM EST

APThe Panthers spent a boatload of money in free agency last year, and the bill has come due. While the team doesn’t have many key players to re-sign, Carolina needs to shed a lot of salary before the start of the new league year.

One candidate to be released, according to the Charlotte Observer, is Jimmy Clausen. The former quarterback of the future in Carolina was the No. 3 quarterback of the present behind Cam Newton and Derek Anderson in 2011.

He’s due a roster bonus of $923,000 in March, which is a lot of money for a No. 3 quarterback. It’s not crazy money if the Panthers are confident in Clausen’s ability to be a backup. Anderson is a free agent and the team could simply choose to elevate Clausen.

It will be a remarkably far fall from grace for Clausen if the Panthers let him go. Just two years ago, Clausen was viewed as a likely first round pick. He had a disastrous rookies season and was an afterthought last year. G.M. Marty Hurney may not want to admit his mistake on Clausen so soon.

If the Panthers do let Clausen go, perhaps the Broncos can sign him so he can say bad things about Tim Tebow to Mike Silver.

(to the tune of Don McLean's American Pie)

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How the Chiefs used to make me smile.
And I knew if Carl had his chance
He would always fill the stands
and, maybe, he'd keep Herm 'round for a while.

But Pioli made me shiver
With every promise he'd deliver.
The Patriot way was ours now;
"The Superbowl", I would vow.

I can't remember if I cried
When they started out at 0 and 5.
The draft will bring the Chiefs new pride.
The day the true fan cried.


My, my we must fix the O-Line
Grab a QB some round later
Right now Cassel's our guy.

The drafturbators all just facepalmed and sighed
Saying we should just take Clausen at five.
We should just take Clausen at five.


Did you write your own mock draft
If not then you have no room to laugh, when I say Bulaga's our guy.
There's no way we'll go QB,
Even for the great JC, Pioli will give Cassel one more try.

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause you saw him working in the gym.
His pro day showed his arm.
He's not arrogant, that's charm.

I was arguing with Mecca and Dane about positional value 'til I went insane
But I knew they'd call Bulaga's name the day the true fan cried. I started singin'

My, my we must fix the O-Line
Grab a QB some round later
Right now Cassel's our guy.

The drafturbators all just facepalmed and sighed
Saying we should just take Clausen at five.
We should just take Clausen at five.

It's sad that you can't comprehend that Weis left because Pioli is married to Cassel.

Highly possible that Weis DID want to draft Jimmy and that was part of the falling out.

Most of us that wanted to draft Jimmy and thought he would be worth a first round pick thought so partly because of the fact Weis was coming in as our OC and had worked with JC for a few years at ND.

Charlie knew the ins and outs of the specific player better than anyone and knew what types if plays he ran well, and what didn't. He knew HOW to coach him to get the most out of him.

I'd give Jimmy a 1 year deal, but that would in no way end my search for a quarterback.

He would have to fight it out with a veteran and Ricky Stanzi to make the roster.

Who knows, maybe a dose of humility is what the kid needed.

I'd sign Clausen and give him a chance to compete for a spot on the roster. He's got potential just like everyone else that the Chiefs would be looking at in this draft. The difference is he's got a little experience in the NFL, however bad it may be it's still experience.

How many rookie QBs would succeed in the NFL when they were thrown in earlier than expected and had someone acting way worse than TO/Ochocinco/Moss in his very first game?

Has nothing to do with being a fan of Clausen. It would be a logical signing. Clausen is 24 years old, was highly thought of coming out of college, and wouldn't have to use a draft pick on a backup/3rd string QB.

Orton has no future. Clausen may not either, but hes got a lot more time to figure shit out.

If Pioli wants to look like he's smart.....he'd sign Clausen. He can say that Clausen and Stanzi will be competition for Cassel. If Cassel succeeds then he's a genius......if Cassel fails and Clausen succeeds....he looks like a genius.

If they all suck.....then he'll have to draft a 1st round QB.

He's got the talent.....but his motivation or maturity might be a little suspect. He was a young kid who was highly recruited in high school. He went to Notre Dame and improved every year. Then he was thought to be a sure-fire 1st round pick....and he fell into the 2nd round. I'm sure that killed his ego and probably pissed him off. Not only that....but then he goes to the Panthers who had jack shit on offense. He probably needed to sit for a year and get up to speed.

He'd be the perfect signing now because you could bring him in and let him actually learn.

I said it. I thought Cam Newton would be a major bust. I thought he was Vince Young part 2-not because he's black (ya racist bastahds) but because his college game would not translate and he'd never really been asked to read defenses.

It turns out I was wrong; his college game has translated. I don't know that he's reading defenses too deeply, but his physical skills are working.

Drafting and developing QB's has got to be the hardest thing for a team to do.

Here is a link to Cam Newton at Gruden's QB camp/show. The kid couldn't recall a single Auburn play. He couldn't give Gruden one example of a play he would call in the huddle. The Panthers did an amazing job with him.

I would not take Newton no 1 overall to build your franchise around.

At best he could sit like Pennington/McNair for a few years and turn out ok with jedi-like mentoring...


This (See above Post). Cam Newton needs to go later in the 1st round to a team that would allow him to sit for 2-3 years and work with a QB coach. If he goes to Carolina....he's ****ed.

And since he will go to Carolina....I hope to God they cut Jimmy Clausen. I'll take Clausen in a heartbeat. He's getting ****ed in Carolina.

Some are too quick to judge quarterbacks on CP. I worry that if we do ever get a rookie qb to start, he'll get blasted cause we can't be patient.


It's not always all about the talent of the player. Granted talent is alot, but a big piece comes down to the situation.

Very rarely does a qb just come into the league and blast things away from day 1 like Newton did. He dhad a great great year for a rookie. He did, if I remember correctly, struggle to throw it a little down the stretch when people started to figure him out.

It's gonna take time for any quarterback. Hell even the great Rodgers sat for 3 years and when given the chance to start took a year or two to figure out the game.

Andy Dalton is a hot qb this offseason. Would he have been any better last year in Carolina? I'm pretty sure Clausen could have done exactly what Dalton did in Cinci this year.

The guy obviously has talent. It's all about the situation and whether or not he can put it together with the right pieces around him.

I do know that the QB situation in KC is dire, and there are very few guys I would categorically dismiss as potential improvements. Clausen sucked his rookie season, and then we didn't see him again. Who knows what kind of player he could be? I sure don't, but I'd be willing to find out. We aren't getting RG3 or Luck this year, so it's not like it would hurt to bring in a 24 year old who certainly has the physical tools to play QB at a high level.

You were in there with the whole group of dumbasses that wanted to draft Clausen were you not?

I'm all for drafting a QB, but this board is ****ing stupid for it. Clausen was passed over by his former coach. That speaks VOLUMES about him as a player. But no no no, this board is ALL ABOUT drafting a QB in the first round come hell or high water. It's ****ing stupid.

I said I wanted Berry OR Clausen you mongoloid fucking retard.

You know for sure that Weis told Pioli that he wanted nothing to do with him? Exactly.

You're the one sound like a fucking moron right now.

Some are too quick to judge quarterbacks on CP. I worry that if we do ever get a rookie qb to start, he'll get blasted cause we can't be patient.


It's not always all about the talent of the player. Granted talent is alot, but a big piece comes down to the situation.

Very rarely does a qb just come into the league and blast things away from day 1 like Newton did. He dhad a great great year for a rookie. He did, if I remember correctly, struggle to throw it a little down the stretch when people started to figure him out.

It's gonna take time for any quarterback. Hell even the great Rodgers sat for 3 years and when given the chance to start took a year or two to figure out the game.

Andy Dalton is a hot qb this offseason. Would he have been any better last year in Carolina? I'm pretty sure Clausen could have done exactly what Dalton did in Cinci this year.

The guy obviously has talent. It's all about the situation and whether or not he can put it together with the right pieces around him.

His own team is apperantly giving up on him already, so they aren't liking something behind the scenes.

There is a reason he dropped as far as he did in the draft.

Newton is just physically better than most.


He had a great year, but it seemed like teams figured out later in the year that you could confuse him with coverage.

It's still not guaranteed that he will have a great career either, but he looked pretty good most of the time.

Not really. You're just looking at his totals.

In his first 10 games Newton had over 30 attempts in all but one game.

In his last 6 starts he had only one game over 30 attempts. He did drop 9 TD's and only 3 Int's. They also won 4 of their last 6 games.

They were putting too much on him early and asking him to do it all by himself. I think the coaching staff dialed him back more than anyone figured him out.

Sadly what a Chiefs fan wants more than anything(besides to win a SB) is to draft a first round QB. I fear for the day that happens, because 99% of the douche bags on here will proclaim him a bust when it takes him three-five years to reach his potential. It's very normal for great QB's to have looked bad their first few years. Fans calling for said franchise QB's head isn't going to help him either a lot of the time.

Clausen fell to the second round because he is a douche. NFL teams didn't believe in his leadership and heard rumor after rumor coming out of ND about how much Weis and the athletic department swept under the rug regarding Clausen. The kid was always at odds with teammates, was involved in several bar fights, sluffed off in practice, and came off entitled from the start.

Yea let me drag those up for you...

I have a friend who works for ND. It is common knowledge regarding Clausen. He was a dick the day he landed on campus. The guy has the skills but no work ethic. He was handed a silver spoon in high school and at ND.

matt hasselback, tom brady, marc bulger, tony romo, joe montana, kurt warner, mark brunell... they must all have sucked, because they were either guys that fell past the first two rounds or went undrafted.

2010 Jimmy Clausen had a QB rating of 58.4, in that same offense Matt Moore had a QB rating of 55.6

2011 Matt Moore joins Brian Daboll in Miami and finishes with a QB rating of 87.1, Matt Cassel has a QB rating of 76.6

Think its safe to say Clausen could improve under Daboll(and Zorn), especially since we have a far better supporting cast here. The reason I threw in Cassel is because Weis/Muir/Haley/Daboll all run the Earnhart-Perkins offense.

To continue that, Chad Henne had a rating of 79.0 the same offense Moore had 87.1

So if you go off QB ratings, Clausen>Moore>Henne

So someone who has yet to show any evidence of actually being a NFL QB is all of a sudden the best of the 3 because he sucked slightly less than Moore in Carolina and Moore was better than Henne after Daboll got an idea of what to do in Miami, all based on QB rating?

Solid!

Moore and Henne would come to KC and challenge for the starting job because they have shown they can win in the NFL.

Clausen would come to KC and be given a chance to make the roster and then hope for injuries because he hasn't shown anything. The only thing he has going for him is his scouting report out of college and his age.
