Clayton: Jimmy Clausen won't start early

This is my biggest concern about Moore right now:

The Panthers' quarterback situation reminds me of the 49ers' last year. Shaun Hill entered last season with a 7-3 record and won his first two starts. But defenses caught up to him after coordinators had an offseason to study him and he was replaced as starter after six games by Alex Smith. Don't be surprised to see a similar scenario in Carolina, with Clausen starting by the seventh game.

...and Clayton did a poor job of plagarizing Steve Reed (or the other way around):

He closed offseason workouts by blowing out his teammates in agility drills.

I was there and I saw the drill, it was not a sprint or an agility drill - it was a conditioning test where guys had to run back and forth accross the width of one of the practice fields, I have video on it... nobody was "sprinting".

These came from Rotoworld

Despite earlier reports to the contrary, rookie Jimmy Clausen is still the Panthers' third-string quarterback.

The Charlotte Observer has cautioned all offseason not to overlook strong-armed Hunter Cantwell, but ESPN's Pat Yasinskas insists "there's no doubt" Clausen will open the season as Matt Moore's top backup. This appears to be a case of veteran loving head coach John Fox making the rookie pay his dues before climbing the depth chart

ESPN's John Clayton expects rookies Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards to play with Steve Smith in three-wide receiver sets this season.

Despite being passed on the depth chart by Kenneth Moore last season, Dwayne Jarrett will be in the training camp mix as a "veteran" option. Jarrett has shown nothing as a pro, however, whereas LaFell and Edwards are already turning heads in minicamp. Clayton calls converted QB Edwards possibly "the steal of the draft."

Clayton is a moron.

EVERYONE and there mama knows what we do in Carolina. We run, run, and throw to Steve. Moore was basically the same QB in 07 as 09. All you have to do in the offense is not be horrific. We aren't a passing offense and you can study Moore all day long. We all know the plays Fox and company like to run and can predict what and when stuff is coming. All Carolina needs is a QB who hands it off, doesn't fumble or make dumb throws.

I just don't understand why everybody has so many doubts about Matt Moore, yet I keep hearing that the guy in Philly (his name escapes me ATM) is gonna be a superstar. Is it just because Moore is a Panther instead of an Eagle or Cowboy? From what I remember, Tony Romo had all kinds of hype when he became the starter too, even though he had less game experience than Moore does right now. Does everybody just assume the worst for every Panthers QB or what?

      Legette is a Luxury to the team.

      I think starting this week you gotta work in Tremayne out there.   You don't got to bench XL but Tremayne just seems to be clearly a better WR at this stage (despite XL having the physical tools).   I think waiting on Coker is malpractice.

      I agree completely.  I’m not absolving XL of his errors and shortcomings, but week 2 was definitely less an issue with him as it was QB and coaching/scheme.     It’s becoming abundantly clear, not just with XL, but with everyone on the offense, our coaches are not crafting a game plan to play to their players’ strengths, but rather they’re creating a game plan and then trying to fit guys into it where each position is treating each player as interchangeable and they’re not.  The breakdown I watched also discussed how no one expected XL to be destroying people with his route running coming out - that would have to be refined.  So, the poo we’re seeing, we can’t really blame him for.  He has gotten open enough often, but the passes are often off-target.  And he would likely excel more as a guy who can threaten with the deep ball to take the top off the defense, but we don’t have a QB that can throw that pass.
