it isn't misleading.....players are making it clear.

I mean, really your arguement is that b/c they don't literally write out Clausen sucks, there remarks and comments can still be left up to interpretation. If it was one person I would agree with that......but all the top talent is all implying the same thing.....MOVE ON.

I mean you can choose to "play dumb". But it is clear that Davis, Smitty, Beason, Williams are not content w/ Clausen being the plan.....and they are ready for a new plan now. I mean if you can't pick up on that it is b/c you are TRYING hard not to.

as far as Gross......he is being exactly who he has proven to be. A LT. He has always protected QBs. Means nothing more than just that.

What players say doesn't mean jack....I agree. However, the attitude and atmosphere in a club does mean something. What they say is a clue into that.

In other words, you can't actually find statements to back up what you're saying, but you just know that they're "making it clear". Gotcha :rolleyes:

You might want to keep in mind that Clausen isn't the only QB on roster that's started games for us. Nor is the draft the only method available for acquiring a new quarterback.

The suggestion that players are all lined up as "Newton or bust" has no legs.

like I said, if you want to make an effort to ignore the message being sent.......so be it.

and actually, Clausen IS the only QB under contract that has started games for us.

I never said they were implying Newton or bust..... they all want a QB not named Clausen.

he hasn't spoken out or done anything to suggest he "loves him some Moore".

He rushed back from injury to play with him once it was announced Moore would start week 6.

His production in those games with Moore is extremely high.

If we know one thing about Smith it's that when he's contributing he's happy.

I'd say those are some good signs that he likes Moore, maybe even loves him.

I think I heard somewhere a while back that Moore's wife shares the suite at BOA with Smitty's family as well, indicating they are friends.

;)

Moore has a contract offer.

Moore has a contract offer.

Clausen and Pike are the only QBs under contract.

Moore was tendered with a lot of other guys who aren't part of the future plan. They were all tendered b/c they are considered assets and even though Carolina has a plan they can't predict the future.

So we just offered contracts to guys for the heck of it...great :rolleyes:

Guessing you haven't heard Hurney talk about Moore. He doesn't talk about him at all like a guy who "isn't part of the future plan". And yes, the rules of the tender mean he gets a raise.

That's some expensive camp fodder there.

That'd be pooty if Moore wasn't part of the plan and they were paying him upwards of 3.5mil

Moore had a shot.....Fox sabatoged it. Fair or unfair, guys get small windows. I thought Moore got screwed in his.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
