In a NFL.com live chat going on right now, when asked about Jimmy Clausen, Gil Brandt said,

"Clausen has a chance to compete with Matt Moore for the starting QB job in Carolina. His experience under Charlie Weis gives him a good idea of NFL offenses, and that helps. But if you look at what Moore did late in the season last year, he could be better than people think."

This is one of the first guys I've seen to actually see that Matt Moore has a lot more to offer than what people think.

Im just happy to know that whoever our QB is, he'll actually be the best one starting and not starting only because of loyalty.

I'm happy w/ that also...

however, I am not certain the QB who gives us the best chance to win......will be the starting QB. Obviosuly, Fox can be questioned now on such decisions.

i also think moore has alot of potential as does clausen, right now this is a win/win scenario for us. we get to find out which is better and maybe use the other as trade bait at some point. if moore rips it up ala matt cassell we could still franchise him and trade him for a pick in next years draft. if we could get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for someone who went undrafted is also a win for us

Fox has no loyalty to either of these guys and might not be here next year so i think he will play the best QB

IMO the reason Moore is not signed already is because they want to make sure he dose not pull a Delhomme and were stuck with him.

Not signed? Do you mean not signed long-term? :confused:

The flipside is that if he's a huge success, he'll be expensive to keep.

Of course, it strikes that possibility could be another factor behind the drafting of Claussen.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      I think Dillon can be what Eric Shelton was supposed to be.

      Yeah, no way he's an option at 19. We could honestly probably get him in the 3rd round.

      I mean, on some level I get it. They want to know 100% for sure before they either extend Bryce or move on. I imagine the logic behind it is that if they add another weapon and Bryce doesn't show he can be a franchise guy then we'll be in great position to draft another QB and slot him into an offense with 3 legit WRs, a good TE and a solid OL. I don't think it's as simple as the front office trying to "justify" an extension for Bryce. If they're not sold on Bryce then they know paying him big money is a recipe for disaster and at that point just trying to please Tepper isn't going to save their jobs in the long run if they're stuck with a QB we can't win with. I think Morgan and Canales are just as uncertain on Bryce as the fanbase is. They see his limitations, but they also see flashes where he has managed to overcome them and look like a potential franchise QB. I think they're trying to avoid Bryce becoming the next Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold and want to do everything they can to give him what he needs to succeed so that if/when the time comes to move on from him nobody can say "the Panthers were the problem" if he goes elsewhere and succeeds. And if we do end up having to bring in another QB in a year or two if nothing else they will have the pieces around them as well and can hit the ground running. I also think drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be as much about missing on XL as it would trying to justify extending Bryce. Personally I think we need to just count ourselves lucky to have landed a legit #2 WR as an UDFA in Coker (which helps negate the miss on XL in the 1st) and try to find a good slot receiver in free agency or the 2nd-4th rounds while focusing on defense and the OL in the 1st round.
