"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.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      Then why are they paying QBs so much compared to other players? QB are making so much it's harder and harder to pay other players. If a guy plays like 1 of 11 then there pay should be in line with that. Not all QB should be breaking the bank just because your next or a former 1st rounder There is a reason they say try to win it all on a QB rookie deal because after that they can cripple a team on what it can do. I would rather not do that for a bottom 1/3 QB. Cam and Jake have been the only QBs worth investing long term into this team has had I would rather not lower the bar. If a guy don't got the IT factor and it shows I would rather not invest long term into them and keep looking

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
