Hey.... What IF???

Anybody remember Jimmy Pickles?  I didn't think so, at least not since Tepper got here. 

Clausen..??  You bring up some strange things, my friend.!!  I KNOW you must have something in mind...... ???

Carolina drafted him pretty high (not 1st round - I don't think..), back in 2009, 10,11 - sometime back there. Lasted a few years here, went somewhere else, lasted a few years...Finally disappeared from the NFL scene.

That's all I remember, except the nickname, "Pickles". Which source was obvious....
Claussen was pretty much a:     

I was just saying that horrible season pales in comparison to the seasons we have had since Tepper arrived.  

I'm trying to remain objective here.... But, let me just say, for the benefit of anyone who doesn't know or has a short memory.....  In the 28 years the Panthers have been in existence, I've been through them all. I have one of the "coins" handed out at the very first Panthers home game in B of A. I've suffered through ALL of the Panthers ignominious "ups and downs".  I am NOT a fair-weather friend. 

So, let me just say this: Yes, the Panthers are in a bit of a slump right now. Yes, Tepper's reign here has been less than "magical". But remember this... In 28 years, the Panthers have had a lot of BAD, BAD teams.!!  And as much as Tepper has, for the most part, been a real PITA,  I would NOT want JR back for ANY reason.

I should NOT have to explain this ...
