What's Moore going to do now?

Clausen and Pike are under (cheap) contracts. The Panthers just drafted Newton. Presumably, Moore wants a legitimate shot at starting.

Last days in Carolina or is he going to try and get the short term job here as an audition while Newton learns the NFL?

Moore was gone the moment he got hurt last season.

Clausen is getting the shaft. He was thrown into the deep end of the proverbial pool before he was ready, had no time to develop, played with an injured patch-work offensive line - hell, even Rivera said it was almost impossible to evaluate him due to the circumstances and conditions under which he played. The guy is last year's 2nd round draft pick, and they are already abandoning him. Do you guys realize we have ERIC SHELTON and DWAYNE JARRED more opportunity than we gave/are giving Clausen?!

The guy I feel the worst for is Pike. The guy has skills; however, Fox didn't like him at all and had no intention of trying to develop him. He brought in SCRUBS to replace Clausen instead of trying Pike and seeing what he had. When they bring a Veteran to run the offense while Newton develops, which they will HAVE to do, Pike and Moore will be jettisoned. At the very most one of them might hope to be kept on as a member of the Practice Squad.

At first I thought he would play that vet role but hearing Rivera talk about Cam possibly starting and the reports that Jimmy is in working right now I think he's gone.

If Carolina STARTS Cam Newton right away he WILL be another JaMarcus Russell! Newton is NOT ready! He needs time to develop.

(The more and more I look at Cam the more and more I think 'Donte Culpepper' for some reason.)

Clausen isn't getting shafted, he's going to be a good backup QB for the Panthers because he doesn't turn the ball over much and that's an admirable quality for a young backup. He also can mentor Cam a bit with regard to being a rookie QB in Charlotte and what to expect, good and bad. I still say Clausen starts Week 1. As it should be, unless Newton blows it up and gets the job that fast.

Was Dwanye Jarred any good?

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
