Person: Rivera To Name Starter Prior To 3rd Preseason Game

The quarterback order remained the same for the Panthers on Monday night, with Jimmy Clausen getting the first reps in team drills, followed by Cam Newton.

It figures to stay that way the rest of this week.

Carolina coach Ron Rivera said again he expects to name his starting quarterback next week before the Panthers' third preseason game at Cincinnati on Aug. 25.

Rivera said the game video of Saturday's 20-10 win over the Giants didn't change his assessment of what he saw from the top two quarterbacks. Both did some good things; both made some mistakes, and there were some mistakes from their offensive teammates that caused the quarterbacks to misfire at times.

“The thing that was really good about the way they played was it was right in line with the things we thought they were capable of doing,” Rivera said.

...

I assume this means the starter for the season opener. Also, Person is saying Clausen took first team reps, but Reed said Cam took most of them...

what about the 3rd and 4th preseason game? thought he would need to see them play more before making his decision.

Yeah, I don't understand the reasoning behind it.

You'd think they would make a decision after giving each an equal number of reps with the first team and after all 4 games in order to have a larger sample to make a decision off of.

the week 1 starter will need to get those 3rd game reps. Starters normally go until the 3rd. Whoever is gonna start the season will need all the reps they can get.

      Rookie PFF Grades

      Got to give some credit to the coaching staff on these. You can grab top talents but without good coaching, they just fizzle out. We've seen that a lot around here.

      Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?

      Rookie PFF Grades

      By t96 · Posted

      Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find
