Panthers contacted QB Campbell

Campbell had already signed the Redskins' tender offer worth $3.1 million for 2010. Campbell said he and his agent, Joel Segal, had received interest from the Carolina Panthers on Friday until they selected Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen with the No. 48 overall pick.

For those that are angry that the Clausen pick "under cut", the status of Matt Moore, then consider the 0.0% chance he would have had to start had he been in an open competition with Jason Campbell.

I know there was a bogus thread earlier regarding our supposed "interest" in Campbell, but to my knowledge this is the first confirmation of it having been considered by the Panthers management.

Wow with as little confidence as they seem to have in Moore now I'm surprised they didn't keep any of their veteran quaterbacks and looked toward the draft to fill the need. Seems like Clausen may have a better shot at the job this year than I thought and that's not necessarily a good thing.

I'm happy for Campbell though too. Raiders actually had a good draft and I think Murphy, Schillens, Higgins, etc. are a year older and better... Could be a great move for him once he gets settled in their system.

Would've liked to get him, but it wasn't worth a 4th rounder ANY year, considering everyone knew he wasn't wanted in Washington.

The Clausen pick could give our franchise momentum heading into some big things (or could blow)...

They are handling the QB position like that have other positions in the past.

Take 2-4 options and let the best one win the spot.

:iagree:

And frankly I think it is going to work like it has in the past. We are going to take the offense and move it from around 20th to closer to top 10.

Campbell is garbage and I'm glad we didn't get him. Washington was never a competitive team with him under center. I am also tired of people making excuses for him about how he wasn't good since he played under so many different coordinators. He will suck with the Raiders next year, just like the rest of the team does ever since they got raped in the super bowl by Tampa.

The fact that they were considering trading for Campbell says to me that they aren't 100% sold on Moore as the starter. Now that they've drafted Clausen and Pike they're content with Moore being their "veteran". If Clausen or Pike doesn't beat Moore out in the preseason they're going to be starting a guy they weren't confident in. Best case scenario would be that they were perfectly happy with Moore starting and if one of the rookies beats him out then all the better.

    • I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
    • I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
