"9. Rivera said it’s likely both Newton and Clausen will start games during the preseason so each can be evaluated against starting defenses."

Translation: Jimmy will start early game(s) until Cam takes over lol. As emminent as this might be, Rivera is at least giving Clausen a chance.

Not sure if you guys saw but Gabbert is starting the first preseason game for Jacksonville... Garrard hurt but will likely lose his job if Gabbert plays well... similar to St. Louis last year.

I don't think it is so much trying to give Clausen a chance but to make Cam go through the process of "winning" the job. Cam looks to be on track to do what Rivera wants....and that is to be the starter week 1.

lmao

it has already been reported by some (like Pat Y) that the people in Carolina's front office and the coaching staff want Newton to be ready enough to start week 1.

It also makes more sense to make Cam go through the motions of moving up the depth chart than just handing him the keys.

Come join me in reality.....

1 minute ago - by Steve Reed - Rivera has yet to decide on QB between Newton, Clausen

Coach Ron Rivera said the team hasn't chosen a starting quarterback. He said there's a possibility Cam Newton and Jimmy Clausen will both get a chance to start in the preseason. Rivera said that will make for a fairer evaluation of the quarterbacks since both will face first-team defenses. Panthers RapidReports

Jpjr Translation: I am completely talking out of my ass and am making poo up.

I don't really want to see JC start this season. But, it would almost be worth it to watch all of you "experts who know exactly what is happening" completely implode.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
