"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.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
