as follows from http://twitter.com/cpanthers:

Fox: "I'm a firm believer that competition @ positions brings out the best in guys."

Hurney said Tony Pike, like Clausen, was the best player on the board when the Panthers picked him. "He was too good a value (to pass up)."

Hurney also said that Jordan Pugh will be a safety. He played cornerback at Texas A&M.

Hurney: "To draft well, you have to train yourself to go by the board, & if there's huge separation, take the best player."

Hurney emphasizing that they feel good about Moore & Cantwell, and that the picks of Clausen/Pike had nothing to do with them ...

(cont.) just that Pike and Clausen were too good to pass up at those draft spots relative to the grade the Panthers gave them.

Fox says DE Greg Hardy "has the skill set that we're looking for ... for a 6th-round value, those guys don't come down the pike very often."

Fox on whether Clausen could have chance to start in 2010: "Those guys answer those questions by competing, & we haven't had practice yet."

Fox said he talked with Matt Moore twice, & it "went very well," but he didn't want to divulge the details of the conversation.

kthnx.

What did you expect them to say? "We think Moore and Cantwell suck so we drafted two more QBs"? Wake up.

Do you really expect the undrafted free agent QB with a one year tender to get the nod over the top 10 QB that slid to the 2nd round? They didn't take Clausen to be a backup. You Moore nut huggers are in for a disapointment.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
