I know there was a lot of news about guys talking him up but do you think this was just a ploy to take some steam out of Clausens sail. I think Cantwell doesn't make the team.

Thoughts

I think there is no way that Pike can be stashed away on the practice squad without another team picking him up. Either Cantwell or Pike come down with an "injury" and get IR'd, or Cantwell gets cut and the Panthers attempt to stash him on the practice squad.

Cantwell is the biggest QB on the team, has the strongest arm, and looked pretty darn good last pre season. The only reason people are overlooking him and assuming that he will probably get cut, is because he wasn't drafted, which is the same reason that so many people doubt Matt Moore. Panther fans should know by now though, that Hurney and Fox don't care nearly as much about a guy's draft status as fans do. They only care about whether he can play or not. See Jake Delhomme, Al Wallace, Louis Leonard, Brad Hoover... etc. They cut plenty of drafted players while those guys were around.

The best players with the most potential should make the team. It doesn't matter whether they were drafted or not.

Pike was drafted in the 6th round. 6th rounders aint that far off from undrafted.

Cantwell has a stronger arm, bigger frame and already knows the system and played well during last preseason.

They player that plays better out of the two at camp/preseason will make it. Remember Cantwell atm is still #2 on the depth chart.

The only reason I think that Cantwell makes the team is because Pike has the same accuracy issues with a weaker arm. It just goes to show you that your W/L record in college (Pike, The Golden Calf of Bristol, etc.) means you were on a good team but doesn't necessarily mean you are a good NFL caliber quarterback.

Cantwell, Pike. One will be third string and one will be one the practice squad, as long as clausen signs. There isn't anything really special about them that you couldn't find in another free agent rookie next year or from another practice squad. They really are expendable, so if we lose one no big idea. It would be better if cantwell stayed since he knows the offense. There are a lot of big body guys with strong arms that'll come along. I hope it doesn't come down to us depending on a third string quarterback.

What amazes me, is that, both Cantwell and Pike will probably be upgrades over any 2nd string QB John Fox has had in his entire tenure here. Of course, I'm not counting Matt Moore, because he was never really the clear cut #2, because they kept bringing in veterans.

They won't be second string.

Well I was comparing them to Panthers 2nd string QB's from recent history, but I wouldn't completely rule them out for this year either, especially since Cantwell has already been here a year. I mean, what if Cantwell clearly out performs Clausen everyday in practice and in the pre season? I wouldn't just assume that John Fox will go with Clausen, based on draft status alone, unless he's ordered to do so by Mr. Richardson.

The Big Cat aint usually one to tell the coaches how to run the team unless there is a major salary cap issue involved.

Unless we are all wrong, me, Hurney, every other panther fan, Clausen will not be 3rd string.

He will be active on gamedays.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
