Just wanted to get that out there. His work in preseason will earn him the job. A lot of people are taking the politically correct approach and just handing Moore the job before we've even been to training camp or played a single preseason game. The organization's approach at this point is to not undercut Moore right off the bat but mark my words... their opinions will change once we've seen JC in preseason taking the majority of the meaningful snaps as the #2 QB.

I have no doubt he'll earn the starting job by week 1.

ok, so i was off by two weeks. that prediction was made in april!

No NFL coach starts a rookie, when he already has an experienced option that wins games and the team . Rookies start when there is no other option. Flacco, Ryan, Sanchez....they started b/c there was no Matt Moore.

I agree with Fox. Only stat I care about is the W/L stat. Moore wins. Clausen has talent. That is all we know at this point and I think the team would respond best in 2010 to Moore.

I would be surprised if Fox started JC in week 1. I'm not saying that it couldn't happen, but, generally, Fox has moved very cautiously with rookies.

Since Moore is more than capable at the position, why would Fox risk setting up a rookie for possible failure so soon?

Given what the team has said and Fox's history with starting rookies I find it doubtful that he would start.

However, I am excited about seeing JC in some pre-season games. Woot! Woot!

He shouldn't start the season, but he certainly could.

Clausen has far superior skills to Moore, but not the timing, playbook knowledge, and trust of the coaches.

If we are in a position to make a run at the playoffs, you keep JC on the bench all year, and if not, put his ass in there about week 9 or 10.

Doubt it, don't think there will be an open QB competition - it's Matt's job to lose right now. The only way I can see Clausen starting this year is if Matt gets hurt or really struggles and I think they will give Matt every opportunity to right the ship before giving him the hook.

We've all learned that when the Panthers crown you the starting QB, it takes ALLOT for them to pull the plug (which overall I think is a good tendency).

Wait a minute...I thought coach Fox didn't trust young and unproven players?

This place is crazy. In one thread, people complain that our DT's are young and inexperienced, and that Fox and Hurney are idiots for not signing a big time FA or drafting one in the early rounds, yet some of those same people claim that Clausen will start right away even though Fox actually has some history with Matt Moore and he's more experienced.

I love the Huddle.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
