Charlotte-job Jimmy Clausen will not be secure, but Jeff Davidson.

Days after a new low point of the miserable, Carolina winless season, encompassed the coach John Fox said Monday that she was "too soon to say" If rookie starting quarterback remains Clausen. but Fox declined to talk about making changes to its employees, including its offensive coordinator Davidson, to try and worst offense of national.

"No," said the Fox. "I think that we only play better. "

Offense that just don't hit the bottom manage eight first downs and 147 yards lost 23-6 Sunday to Chicago that got Clausen benched. performance in front of home fans booing the Panthers catapulted into the last 32 teams of the League in total offence.

Carolina (0-5) enters its week alerts with five touchdowns, 16 turnovers and 52, good for an average League-worst of 10.4 points of the game.

"I think at this point our anywhere magidol," said the Fox.

But it seems that some of the ways for the youngest of the national team to get better at what became the season lost there are upper receiver with Steve Smith still protective boot with a high ankle sprain, Panthers on Sunday became the first team since Cleveland in 1999 to start receiving patches two rookie quarterback.

While Clausen was cruel — 9/22 for 61 yards, interception of three lmlmolim – Matt Moore was good when he replaced late in the fourth quarter.

Moore, benched for Clausen after week 2, dropped 10 moves. Five went to his team and two bears. Clausen has this season passer rating 52.2, Moore 33.3. This leaves a Fox in the last year of his contract with unpleasant decision before faces Carolina San Francisco (0-5) on 24 October.

"I think it is too early to say," said the Fox."We value that as we move forward this week."

Maybe you could even decide to use the Panthers of the formation of the wildcat Armanti Edwards with tuner. College quarterback is converted to the active roster was the first time against the bears and ran two plays from snapping directly with small success.

"We're looking at all the means to move more than 32," said the Fox.

Fox tried to lighten the mood.As he climbed the podium for journalists, he pointed to the two towels on if the common table they were crying towels.But you have gutted roster in the offseason, wages lowered and failed to extend the contract, Fox has little to work with a lame duck in the year.

Panthers have fallen by so many so early – they were already outscored 28-6 for the first quarter – Davidson abandon all the game run early.Jonathan Stewart should be subject only to 36 meters 119 after switching over 1,700 meters last season.DeAngelo Williams, went well over 1,700 meters last year, there are meters 317.

It has forced air Corps Clausen to go with that inexperienced, mistakenly think it was turned off.While the Panthers you claimed the receiver Devin Thomas from Washington off waivers on Monday, there's still a lot of problems and depth.

Clausen has trouble just treatment snaps and clean, and the line hits the handoffs was shaky. Clausen was sacked first five times.

Was the debut of the former Notre Dame standout national coarse, choose the second trick questions begin to be raised. damage in the long term miserable rookie season with nothing on his confidence, and if it may be time for him to sit down again.

"I think every time you do not have the success is frustrate your development no matter which location," Fox said. "I think its not a mystery which quarterback is one of the positions that were difficult to play I think that's right up there with him ... but no one came to rescue you only that you have to get better. "

Offensive woes of Carolina has decent defensive effort for participation in this team a Panthers set a record by only 29 metres net impedes. Godfrey Charles leading the national safety with four interceptions.

But it is difficult to win when you have already failed to reach double digits in all three home games, scored two points each year, the fourth quarter.

"The defense does a great job of getting there and getting us back ball turnovers," said Clausen. "I think the biggest thing is that we have to keep going to work and grinding this thing. "
