Any word from Clausen yet?

Might already be a thread about this, but has Clausen spoken about being a Panther yet? I've seen all sorts of coverage on us drafting him but nothing FROM him. Just curious to his feelings falling so far in the draft and getting drafted by the Panthers.

Sweet, thanks! Yea, I listened to some of the interview. He is good at the "politically correct" speak for sure. Definitely a John Fox kinda guy in that respect. I think he's happy he got drafted by a team that isn't a persistent basement dweller with two great running backs and Steve Smith. What QB wouldn't be happy about that?

I think he had a big potential to be a bust, especially since he didn't win all that many games in college compared to McCoy and The Golden Calf of Bristol. But he is on a team that can work with him, and has good talent around him to help him win right away. I think it should work out well. If not, it might light enough of a fire under Moore to play his ass off.

I think it should work out well (for Clausen). If not, it might light enough of a fire under Moore to play his ass off.

I don't see Moore as a guy who would loof just b/c there is noone behind him. I also don't see him screwing up b/c someone IS behind him either.

We are lucky to have 1 QB we can fairly surely count on (Moore) & 2 who have great potential.

Not that this is important but anyone know what number he will take. Baker already has number 7 and Im sure he would give it to clausen but you never know. For some reason I always like to see what numbers they get. Can you imagine steve smith in anything but 89? Or moose in 87? Beason in 52? I don't know why i get into it but it's just interesting. Usually they unveil the jersey's by now.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
