Will Clausen really get a chance?

Do you guys think Clausen will actually get a chance to start this season. Will he have a real opportunity in TC?

I'm not sure. I'd like to think he would get a courtesy shot as that's kind of the way it's always been but unless he looks like a pro-bowler I don't see him really getting a shot to compete. He is Fox/Hurney's selection not Rivera's.

I see Moore getting a chance and possibly being the opening day starter and then probably starting a few more games. But it would all depend on Cam's progress.

he could make his own chance but I doubt he will.

Rivera WILL play the guy who is best ready to win games when the season starts.

I agree wholeheartedly. With the lack of reps they have missed by now, I believe Rivera will give practice time to the first QB that impresses him. So it comes down to which QB is going to step up and take the bulls by their horns? And is he even on our roster?

And GOOOOO PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately these guys are going to get a week or few weeks of practice at best before the first game whenever that is.

Clausen doesnt make it past the first week of free agency/trading. Not that I think he is bad, because I think he did quite good for what he was given. But to ensure this is Cam Newtons team so he can fully concentrate on leading this team, he can not have a clausen behind him. My guess is Clausen, Deangelo, and Smith will all be traded once the lockout is over.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
