"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.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...

      Jaire Alexander Released

      Also maybe the biggest part is his fromer college buddy, Lord Lamar told the GM to sign him. It was done nearly right after and guess who was the first person Alexander met at ravens stadium??
