  1. I'm baffled by anyone putting Clausen on the list. He was a second rounder; so even though he was our first pick of the draft (thanks Everette Brown) you can't really say staked the future of the franchise on him.

    Also IMO "bust" is largely contingent upon the opportunity cost. The "we clearly should have taken instead" factor. That was a legendarily bad draft class for QBs; Bradford, The Golden Calf of Bristol, then Clausen. The next best after him was Colt McCoy. You look how that draft played out, and I don't see anyone one can clearly say we should have taken instead.

    Clausen was a dice roll that didn't work out. I hardly call that a bust.

     

    And as other have said, Clausen is the reason for us having the best QB in Panthers history. He's a hall of fame pick in terms of the history of the franchise!

    You and me both. I also loved when he tore down that Packer sign at BOA stadium. Cam was so passionate about winning and just football in general. It's a damn shame we wasted him and Luke's prime with Rivera.

    You never know when you're living in the good times til they're over.

  3. Good take. He looked fine for a rookie, but that's my worry.

    He's good, but he didn't look like a superstar world beater. I'm slightly more pessimistic because I was hoping Bryce would rocket out of the gate and take the league by surprise, then he'd come back down to earth after 2 or 3 weeks when teams got tape on him. 

    After a couple games, and other teams having tape on Bryce, and know how to exploit his game and physical limitations, I'm still worried he'll come back down to earth. So I'm just concerned what we saw today wasn't his floor.
