Panthers interested in Northwestern QB Clayton Thorson

His highlight reel---note that  he is accurate when he has all day  to  throw.   This is the  natural fit for him.  Kidding, literal thinking, concrete operational scholars.

Well, according to our FA plan (only looking for backups), we won't gave an opportunity to draft him bc we'll have to use all of our picks on starters.

The Draft Network offered this glowing review:

"Thorson often makes even the most routine of throws look difficult and despite his notable experience as a starter in the Big 10 he struggles greatly with accuracy, throwing mechanics and velocity. Thorson is a fringe rosterable player who likely has reached his ceiling: a limited and erratic passer."

And...

"In terms of working his progressions, ball placement, arm strength and handling pressure, Thorson is a limited prospect which inhibits the notion that he has starter potential. By year three, Thorson could be a No. 2 quarterback but major growth is needed."

This kid has been talked up in parts.  Scout rumors are he's the 3rd-5th best QB/RD 2-3 material
