Speaking of Claussen ... he was a worse pick than Weeds, believe it or not. Here is a wiki summary of his Panther career:
On July 28, 2010, Clausen signed a four-year, $4.2 million contract with the Panthers, which includes $2.53 million in guarantees.[36] Clausen made his NFL debut in a loss against the New York Giants in the 2010 season opener, after starting quarterback Matt Moore was sidelined with a concussion.[37] After poor play by Matt Moore in a week 2 matchup against the Buccaneers, Clausen took over late in the game. He completed 7 of 13 passes for 59 yards and an interception and one fumbled snap, and led a 17-play drive that was stopped inside the 5-yard line.[38] The following week, Clausen started his first NFL game against the Bengals, completing 16 of 33 passes for 188 yards and an interception and three fumbled snaps, losing two.[38] During the game TV cameras caught wide receiver Steve Smith walking over to Clausen, who was talking with an assistant coach, and screaming at the rookie. Smith walked away, but returned and said something else before being escorted away by tight end Jeff King. At that point, Smith threw down a cup of Gatorade. The incident was later downplayed by Smith.[39] It was the second time there had been communication issues between Smith and Clausen. On May 6, 2010, a report on the website "Pro Football Talk" stated that, "Steve Smith 'basically thinks Jimmy is a punk.'" The website later reported that Smith sent a text message to Clausen that the report was "B.S.".[40][41] In Clausen's 2nd NFL start (a week 4 match-up against the New Orleans Saints), Clausen went 11 of 21 for 146 yards and completed his 1st NFL touchdown pass to RB Jonathan Stewart.
After just three NFL starts and being pulled in week 5, Clausen was benched after completing 47 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions. Clausen also fumbled seven times, losing two, and had a 52.2 passer rating. Clausen finished the 2010 season with 157 completions out of 299 attempts (52.5%), 1,558 yards with 3 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He was sacked 33 times and fumbled 9 times, losing two. [42]
In 2011 the Panthers used their number one overall draft pick to select Cam Newton of Auburn. After a four-game preseason competition, Panthers coaches decided that Newton would be named the starter for the 2011 NFL Season. Clausen had improved little over his 2010 regular season performance in the 2011 preseason, finishing 24/46 passing (52.2%) and 260 yards and a 5.70 average with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions and was sacked 7 times in 53 dropbacks and had a quarterback rating of 58.2, similar to his 2010 regular season performance. The Panthers also signed veteran QB Derek Anderson to the team. Clausen was then demoted to third string.
In the 2012 pre-season, Clausen was 19 for 37 (51.4%) 252 yards and two touchdowns and like 2011 never took the field in regular season play. On August 31, 2013 the Panthers waived/injured Clausen. [43] He passed through waivers unclaimed, and ended up on the Panther's injured reserve list.

Are you saying that Clausen is now on the Panthers injured reserve list, and not eligible to be signed off the street? Could that be a reason that Chud didn't look at him when searching for a 3rd stringer?
Or is it that Chud knew what he had in Clausen...and wanted no further part of it?

Jimmy Clausen was legit worse than Weeden will ever be. My brother (a panthers fan) and I had the misfortune of going to a few games when they went 2-14 a few years back. At least Weeden can throw hard and hit guys who are wide open from time to time. I've honestly never seen a more hyped QB with such little skills. He couldn't throw or read defenses, looked like he never cared and physically was hideous on jumbo tron. If it weren't for the fact that he was a later pick he'd have been a JaMarcus Russell esque bust. I'll never forget how mad Mel Kiper was he wasn't drafted higher too.

Yes, please, Let us please blow up the ENTIRE TEAM again because the QB sucks.
We should have kept Colt and Trent and we'd be 6-1 right now.

Whatever. It's about chemistry.

You do realize that we were 0-2 with your butt buddy Trent Richardson in the lineup correct? How could we be 6-1 with him when we didn't win a game this year when he was on the team. With Colt and Trent we are 1-6, quite possibly 0-7.
