Good for Clausen- he has earned it. At least he isn't crying about things like The Golden Calf of Bristol...

Everybody knows, Jimmy included, Cam will be starting sooner than later.

But after the debacle that was last year, Jimmy could have just folded in camp, and to his credit he hasn't. He has looked solid. I doubt he can ever be a franchise QB, but he isn't garbage either.

He still might be the 2nd best QB from last year outside of Bradford. Obviously, it won't be on this team, but I hope he plays well enough to generate some interest.

Last year is not on Jimmy's feet, as easy as it is to make him a scapegoat. Fox and Richardson screwed us, not the players.

Richardson is trying to make amends. I hope Jimmy throws 2 TD's, and I sure as hell will be cheering for him.

As expected, Jimmy Clausen will start the Panthers' preseason opener against the New York Giants.

Clausen said coach Ron Rivera told him he would get the nod Saturday over No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Newton, who is expected to get plenty of work against the Giants.

So Jimmy will start but Cam will be in the spotlight longer. Yep, way to make Cam "earn" the number one spot.

It's called being sarcastic..Learn to read between the lines.

Unlike many, I personally feel both guys deserve to shine in their own right. If Cam is a little better then so be it and visa/versa. The whole Cam needs to earn his job nonsense is ridiculous just like all the other paraniod ish directed at this kid.

Cam isn't coming to take Jimmy's job without earning it. That was the point behind my post..

Sheesh, lighten up and enjoy the joy of have two talented QBs that's now your entertainment. And may the better one win.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
