If we remember the recent match between the Panthers and Baltimore Ravens, an important thing stood out that former Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen did not looked as a typical rookie in the match. He was seen running Panther’s offense for most of the second quarter.

Jimmy Clausen was the second-round pick of Carolina Panthers in the NFL draft this year. He looked confident, comfortable in the match and moved around better than he earlier had in his junior year. Moreover, he looked stronger and bigger even.

Jimmy went 7-for-13 in the second quarter and led the team on a drive that ended with a field goal. He finished it 8-for-15 with an interception.

Jimmy Clausen came for relieving the projected starting QB Matt Moore.

Last yera, Matt Moore became a starter when Jake Delhomme had a finger injury. He played outstanding and had led the Panthers to four wins in 5 games, including the win over Super Bowl Champion of last year, New Orleans Saints.

“I was anxious to get out there for the first time, but I felt comfortable… He went on to say “It’s a different atmosphere than college, but it’s still football,” said Clausen.
