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."

    • I never thought a second look was even necessary. I was begging the football gods not to have us trade up to the 1st pick. And damn once we did it was a thoroughbred vs a little pony.    If you have a perceived generational player in the pool and you have the 1st pick, you just don’t trade it. In the first place. But all this Bryce drama - which (understandably) takes over almost any thread, just like this one - would never have happened if the team was not sold to Tepper. 
    • I agree. I understand why he did though. And surely he had his parents in his ear who have always gone out of their way to make sure he always had the best and the least amount of adversity around him to that point in his life advising him to do so. Where I take the most issue with it is when people who just want to be sycophants start listing off other QB's who didn't throw at the combine and you don't even make it through half the names before your eyes roll right into the back of your head realizing every single of those QB's who didn't throw already clearly showcased the necessary prerequisite physical talents needed for the position.
