Hurney’s defense of Newton is especially notable because he’s known to be the only remaining supporter of Jimmy Clausen in the Panthers’ building. He used the 48th overall pick on Clausen in 2010, and it’s hard to imagine Hurney signing off wholeheartedly on another quarterback at No. 1 in this year’s draft.

In response to the critisim of this year's QB class Hurney said, "Shoot, at this time last year there were teams that didn't know whether to take Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen." Mac was talking about how there was no Matt Ryan or Bradford in this years class. I think that is your answer to whether Hurney thinks Clausen is a franchise QB.

That shows we have the worst GM in all of pro football if he honestly believes that. There were NO other GM's that thought Clausen could carry Bradfords jock

That was the debate from the combine up until draft time. I for one wasn't sure seeing as to how bradford was injuried all season and clausen looked ok.

I for one thought we had a steal. Clausens been the can't miss prospect from highschool all the way until the draft.

I know, I felt that way, too. Still could be, you never know. Stranger things have happened.

...yeah nevermind. Not gonna happen.

marty definitely went out of his way to defend cam...first he made it clear nawrocki has never even spoken with cam...then saying that we hold the number 1 pick and he hasn't even talked to him...marty seemed a little annoyed when talking about nawrocki the whole segment...i don't think it's a smokescreen, i think we have cam at the top of our board and hurney is just saying we don't care what anyone outside of our staff thinks about cam b/c we think highly of him

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
