From the NFC South Blog:

As we look back on the first round of preseason games and think about what’s happened so far in camps, here are five random thoughts on the NFC South.

My initial take on the Carolina quarterbacks was that Matt Moore looked average the other night and Jimmy Clausen looked pretty good. The vibe I’m getting out of Carolina right now is the Panthers think Clausen looked even better than I thought. This might be a little more competitive a situation than originally thought.

Yas is an idiot. Yas is the guy who went on and on and on and on.....telling everyone we didn't want to see Matt Moore replace Jake no matter how bad it was.

All these guys have there own bias when they write. There ain't no QB competition in Carolina. At least not for the starting job heading into the season.

If the Panthers are hyping Clausen even more than most folks thought or might be reasonable at this point, it reinforces the whole idea that they plan to make Clausen the quarterback of the future no matter what Moore does. If Richardson is going down the cheap route and they know 2 things:

1. that they are going to let Moore go at the end of this year anyway

2. Fox is going to be gone too so this is a rebuilding year

Then it makes sense to play Clausen no matter who is the better guy. And you would put him in there no matter who gives you the best chance to win.

If Clausen gets work with the 1s this week you have to consider that they are looking down the road and have already decided who their quarterback will be next year and are grooming him now despite what happens with Moore.

they didn't pay Clausen the type money where he needs to see the field soon. Richardson is only going cheap this year.....after the lockoout does or doesn't occur he will be back to his olds ways. Plus, his new coach and the system he runs will dictate who the QB will be.

Fox is gonna go with the guy who will win games in 2010. His concerns about his future and wallet will make sure of that.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
