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...

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.

    • One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.
    • I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.   
    • So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
