Why does everyone always assume that you have to have only one player at any position? Like McNabb getting pissed when they drafted Kolb or people saying not to draft player x, because it would upset player y. How many starters actually make it through a whole season? How many starters play more than a few years. We have three good, young QBs that will play together and push each other for the starting role. Drafting Clausen doesn't mean they don't like Moore. It means they had a great opportunity to add quality depth to their team. Anyone who's against that, is against having a team that can play through the year and into the post season.

I still <3 you even if the Panthers don't. Let's grab a beer together, hang out, and talk about how jimmy clausen looks like an ostrich. First round is on me.

Love,

Cracka McNasty

I think the bird you are looking for is an Emu, its a nickname he has has since he was a Freshman at ND. It was given to him by the loving fans of the University of Southern California.

Drafting Clausen doesn't really bother me irt Moore. But the fact that they were trying to make a deal and move up to get Clausen seems to indicate they are really not happy with Matt Moore for some reason. I guess that does explain why they stuck with Delhomme for so long even though Moore gave us a better shot at winning.

It could fall down to the fact that John Fox dose not like how Calm Matt Moore is. It was well known he did not like him last year so why would that change this year? Fox is the problem not Moore.

What the hell is wrong with you people, we are lucky as hell to get this guy in the second round...Im looking forward to the qb battle...may the best man win

the only problem i have with it is that clausen is probably going to be asking for a hefty pay, you know, cause he's a bitch and all, and I thought that was the exact opposite of what the panthers have been doing this whole offseason. it's almost hypocritical if you look at it that way.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
