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.

      Looking like it might be game 7 for Pitt and Phi. Philly is spent. I like more rest for the canes

      Moton Meets the Press

      Moton is the man through and through. 2 things I'll always give Gettleman credit for, 1 is drafting Moton, the other is building a SB contending roster and blowing it up in one off-season

      Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂
