NFL.com video: Is Clausen the right fit?

I'm turning over a new leaf and am going to try and be positive from this point on about all players on the Panthers and all players that could possibly on the Panthers.
It sure is a lot more fun than being negative. :)

I really hope Clausen plays well. If we take Newton, I still hope Clausen plays well because that means we get more picks for him if Newton works out.

If Clausen has success next season how would we know if Newton would work out? Newton won't see the field if Clausen plays well.

Drew Brees, Phillips Rivers. Brett Farve, Aaron Rodgers. The coaches see the players in practice, if Newton is better than Clausen it will be Clausen who is traded. Especially with Newton being the #1 overall pick, making #1 pick money.

Practice is completely different than game situation. People keep saying we will have two proven QBs. If one of them has success, I don't see the other playing in any games so both won't be proven.

It's a long season in the NFL.

Broken arm here, bruised knee there. If Newton is a backup, I would expect you would see him at some point. Of course, that is a very big if...

That is true. However, if Clausen has success and stays healthy I wouldn't expect to see Newton next season if we draft him ;)

Honestly, if Clausen does well next season, I wouldn't be THAT angry we 'wasted' a 1st round pick lol. There are worst things than having 2 good QB's on your roster (that would be 2 more than we have right now). If Cam Newton looks good to the staff, take him. I can accept a little competition at that position, pricey as it may be.

if their is a season next year then take newton if their isnt take fairley or green and since we will have the first pick in the 2012 draft if their is no season this year we will be able to get andrew luck with are first pick next year. if we get newton luck and have clausen thats stupid

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
