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.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
