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.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
