Clausen's apparently alright with being a backup

Incumbent Matt Moore has likely secured the starting job in Carolina. Clausen and Hunter Cantwell are expected to fight it out for the No. 2 spot. Although Cantwell doesn't have Clausen's pedigree (he was an undrafted rookie in 2009 who spent most of last season on the practice squad), he did perform well enough in the offseason to convince some Panther observers that he should receive serious consideration for the second-string role. The Panthers have another rookie quarterback, sixth-round choice Tony Pike from Cincinnati, but he's expected to end up on the practice squad.

Despite the ultra-cocky reputation he developed in college, Clausen sounded fairly grounded in assessing his situation with the Panthers this summer. You won't hear any declarations from him about becoming the starter.

"I'm just going to work as hard as I can and let that play out down the road," he said. "It's not my decision."

      Between Canales and Morgan, who do you keep and trust moving forward

      But again as I stated in the other thread, other than JJ Jansen, the only constant since Tepper bought the team has been Tepper himself. We have an ownership problem. Almost every single one of this team's issues can be traced back to David Tepper.

      Not throwing at the combine was the giveaway

      My deceased father was an All-ACC End and he raised me teaching me football--I never realized how he changed my understanding of the game--however, one thing he said that I will never forget:  The measure of a good NFL QB is this:  "If your team is down by 6 or fewer points in the fourth quarter but has the ball with under two minutes and with 2 timeouts, are you favored to win?  Can he put the team on his back and drive the field for a TD more than 50% of the time?"  If we are down 14-20 and have the ball on our own 20 with 2 timeouts--does Bryce win the game more than 50% of the time?  (It rarely happens).  If not, there is no reason to keep him around.  If he gets hot and we win a few games, he will want major $$$.  While I am not blaming him, I do not see that Alpha at QB.  Sorry.  He has improved, but do we have that Alpha dawg in the huddle when the game is on the line?  That 4th down pass in the end zone tells us what he is--unfortunately.

      Lol Curry was an elite shooter the moment he stepped into the big leagues, dude wasn't out there shooting 15% from three.   Accuracy is 100% coachable, its the physical talent that cant be coached lol.   Josh Allen completed 52% of his passes for 10 tds and 12 ints as a rookie....   Improving from that to what he is now is NOT NATURAL talent it is work....
