Ron Rivera OTAs Interview - 06/01/2012

For those who don't watch the whole video, Rivera had some good things to say about Jimmy Clausen, noting that he's seen real improvement over the last year. I've heard similar things from other observers that Clausen has worked very hard on improving and wouldn't be surprised if went ahead of Derek Anderson in the depth chart at some point. Apparently some higher ups are holding out hope of leveraging Jimmy into a decent trade bait at some point in his contract.

Yeah, I picked up on that. That would be the best case scenerio for everyone. Clausen is a lot younger than Anderson and could serve as a solid #2 back up. At the very least it could give him some trade value. Go Jimmy!

Good luck to Jimmy. It was a dream come true to think that the franchise QB of my team was from my home town, but unfortunately it just didn't work out.

I hope he can have a decent career in the NFL even if it is as our backup.

    • Yep, the Panthers powers that be seem desperate to convince themselves he can clear the bare minimum bar of demanding a legit franchise QB contract. Canales seems to be laying the groundwork here of building the case that all of Bryce's shortcomings are still there and even more glaring than you may have thought while his strengths aren't nearly as strong as you had hoped and aren't near enough to make up for the lack of pure physical tools. When you have historically anomalous lack of measurables you need historically anomalous positive intangibles to make up for it. That was always issue with Bryce as a prospect. Like Parcells said when evaluating him, "he better walk on water". 
    • I'm honestly not sure how much "west coast" plays into it. There's a huge difference between Tucson, AZ and Spokane, WA where he spent the previous two decades of his career. Chapel Hill is significantly different than Spokane but way more similar to it than Tucson. You're talking about a pretty significant plane ride to get back home either way. He and his family would be flying private and direct so we're talking about a 3ish hour flight vs. a 5ish hour flight. That's basically a wash. It's not like he went from Gonzaga to another PNW program. Tucson is a dramatic departure from Washington state. Honestly a far bigger departure climatically and scenery wise than Chapel Hill would be.
    • When asked if he thought he was close to returning to game action, "When you skate just with the goalie coach, it's tough to understand what your level is. Today, Svech scored on me a couple — probably a bad moment for me. I don't know. I'm probably very far from play if he scores on me." God, I love Kucci!
