Clausen isn't 'real' competition for Newton

[carolinarolls]

I believe that there is plenty of competition already there. If Cam wants to succeed he needs to play against himself, not competition and any acquisitions that he could possibly perceive as a lack of confidence a.k.a. stopgap could sidetrack him or at the very least cause him to press himself to a degree that may be detrimental.

New staff, good core of players, strong backfield and O-line (c'mon Otah)...

this should be enough to give him the support and opportunity to show us what he can do.

That's would be my conventional wisdom....but it only matters if you are developing a rookie with a chance to be decent. IMO Cam is no such rookie.

Someone like Moore might also be in the mix. It might not be Moore himself but someone similar to him, still pretty young with some games but not very many.

It doesn't have to be an old ass vet to give him competition and it doesn't have to be Clausen.

I think our starter will be somewhere in between.

Matt Moore.

We need a mentor ...we have someone to hold the clipboard already

[carolinarolls]

who in the league can mentor a perceived talent like Cam and not want to start?

[jtnc]

The only person i'm thinking about is most likely Delhomme. He's the only guy who would be ok with holding a clipboard.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Why not Jake?? He fits the criteria everyone keeps putting out there for a vet QB.

If you get a vet you don't want to play isn't that just a QB coach?? And don't we have one already???

The Browns aren't gonna let Jake go anywhere it doesn't sound like

Browns have no use for Delhomme, we could give them Pike for Delhomme. Seems like a fair trade.

pike vs. cam in the epic of all epic training camp battles

[Panthro]

Jake should pay the Panthers to play if he comes back

[blackcat]

2 words....Bring Back Jake.

[Captain Obvious]

Cam should start. thats why we drafted him. Just throw him out there like Jimmah was last year. If he is as good as he thinks he is then we will win for sure.

:confused: I coulda sworn I heard that they planned on releasing him once the CBA was resolved.

Here is an article from NBC

I think Jake Delhomme would be the perfect guy honestly. He wouldn't expect to start, and he could be a great mentor to Cam. Jake is a classy guy and after a year or two he could retire as a panther. Perfect!
