Jenson's OTB: Panthers Source on Edwards, Clausen

OTB w/Brett Jensen claims to have some insider news from a Panthers source. Take this for what it's worth, which may be NOTHING...

http://charlotte.cbslocal.com/2011/03/02/panther-insider-news/

Think we can get Palmer for a pick swap and our fourth. Not sure if it's likely but they think it COULD happen.

Coaching staff is smarter, better prepared. The Panthers are much happier with these guys already.

Problem with Armanti Edwards is that he got ZERO help from coaching staff or anyone last year. He got no help and hung him out to dry because Fox did NOT want him. He is NOT scared. Just zero help. Armanti will HAVE to show improvement this year but he'll get help in that area. Was JR the reason Armanti was drafted? Source says no comment.

Both the Panthers and scouts from other teams also believe that Jimmy Clausen is better than all but 2 of the quarterbacks in this draft: Newton and Gabbert. Better than Locker, Mallet, Ponder, etc. They think that Clausen is the guy that can win and that he got very little help/training from the staff last year. He is in there every day trying to get better, studying the position, even now (when he's in Charlotte). Source says Clausen is one of the toughest players on the team and claims he didn't complain once. Says his arm is as strong as Hasselbeck/Brady's. Supposedly they firmly and completely believe they can win with Jimmy Clausen.

My take:

I've thought the Panthers felt this way all along and it's why I don't think they go quarterback.

Also, credit goes to drnll4 for pointing this out.

edit: added palmer part, what Mr. Scot pointed out.

Gotta wonder if that's Danny Morrison.

Also liked what Jensen said about Lewis trying to talk Mike Brown into trading Carson Palmer. They seem to think that the number one plus a fourth rounder will net Palmer.

I'd take that.

do you mean we swap 1sts and give them a 4th? Or they give us a 4th?

This source can go back to wherever it came from. Clausen better than most of the QBs in the draft? Are we talking about the same guy who only threw 3 touchdowns all season? (One on a blown coverage to J-Stew, one to a TE who nobody expects to catch a ball, and one I can't even remember) Clausen wasn't even the best QB on our roster, including the two QBs we got late in the season.

Besides, everything we hear from Rivera himself is that he's still looking for his Phillip Rivers. And we all know that ain't Clausen. We would do good to pick up Colin Kaepernick in the third round. He could be the next "Josh Freeman" type player.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
