Carolina Panthers coach John Fox said Monday that Jimmy Clausen will start at quarterback Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Fox benched quarterback Matt Moore on Sunday in the fourth quarter of the Panthers' 20-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Moore, who has committed six turnovers and produced two touchdowns in two games, said Sunday he couldn't "put my finger on" what's gone wrong after he threw eight TD passes and one interception in a 4-1 finish last season that ended Jake Delhomme's seven-year hold on the starting job.
"I don't know what the biggest difference is," said Moore, who was booed in the first quarter, had trouble finding receivers and completed just 6 of 16 passes for 125 yards, one interception and one lost fumble.
Moore, who started despite suffering a concussion in a Week 1 loss, completed just 6 of 16 passes for 125 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Clausen completed as many passes as Moore did all day on his first drive, but it ended with Jonathan Stewart stuffed shy of the goal line with Carolina trailing 20-7.
Clausen was later picked off by Aqib Talib, in his first game back from suspension, and finished 7 of 13 for 59 yards.
Clausen starred at Notre Dame and was taken by the Panthers with the 48th overall pick after a surprising slide in the draft.
