Is it time to start the Jimmy Clausen era?

[Toocool]

My AFL (Australian Football League) team also is the youngest team in the league and we get smashed week in week out. Thank God the 2010 season is over. Is the Panthers full of scrubs like my AFL team? We got people who can't even do a simple kick, and their paid professional athletes

And yes BlockParty, it is a reference to Remember the Titans. A great movie that one.

Clausen to start Sunday. Give him this year to learn, and next year I think the kid will be a solid starting QB with the potential to be an above avg QB.

armanti>clausen seriously

Armanti is a better athlete, but not better QB. Armanti will turn into a quality weapon as a slot receiver.

Ya'll must smoke some high quality green up at ASU

He will suck at receiver. He's the greatest D1AA quarterback ever by far (better than Romo, Flacco, McNair etc) and we are wasting his talents at WR. Thats like drafting Jerry Rice, TO, Randy Moss out of their small schools and moving then to QB or RB. Stupid. He's way more talented than Clausen

not a panthers fan. they actually keep me from watching either the steelers or redskins on many weeks. but, word to the wise, rushing a rookie qb to start when not ready can be a career ender. tread carefully.

Why not start Pike <duck>

I'm excited to see what Clausen can do. I hope he gets the protection he needs from the O-Line and can show everybody whats up.

I second that. I'm not a Browns fan but live in Ohio with tons of Browns fans. Suspect offensive line and overall team? Check. Rookie QB? Check. Welcome to Tim Couch.
