Didn't see anything about this already posted. Insider article, Jimmy's the 2nd possibility mentioned:

2. Jimmy Clausen, Carolina Panthers

Clausen struggled mightily as a rookie behind a depleted O-line and with a wide receiving corps that scared absolutely no one. This year, a healthy line and healthy running backs, and the key addition of some viable tight-end targets (see: young QBs best friend) give him a chance to build his profile. The Panthers will hope he does, both so they can win while Cam Newton marinates and so Clausen is more of an asset. Clausen is still 23. If all rookies had their careers sent to the morgue after starts like his, there'd be a QB shortage.

Jimmy has a golden opportunity to redeem himself and begin to resurrect his career. It starts Saturday night.

He either shows good improvement early this year or he is looking at a long stretch as a 2nd or 3rd QB.

Well, if you remember, he was pretty decent in 'preseason' last year.

I guess to me, there is practice speed and conditions and preseaon game speed and conditions, then the whole other world of live games and playoffs.

We'll see what happens then; but, yes, it would be in the Panthers best interests if he succeeds.

If we does knows, in some surrreal world, maybe it's Cam that becomes expendable...very doubtful though.

Let’s focus, we as fans would love for Jimmy to do well Saturday. That way we can trade him for draft picks, or we can use him as a certified back up. Just keep one thing in mind, Jimmy does not have the athleticism that Cam has when invading the rush. Not knocking Jimmy so please don't take this the wrong way. Jimmy is great at Checking down, but how many plays you are going to check down before the Defense catch on? You have to stretch the field to be successful in the NFL. So good luck Jimmy and Cam, and remember you have less than 3 seconds to get the ball out.

WTF is invading the rush...

Where have you been? This is Jimmy second year and Cam is threatening his starting job, wow. Cam only played one year of division 1, but he looks like he has been playing in the NFL for 1 year, (My opinion). Let’s talk about that….

Face Fuging Palm...

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
