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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
