as follows from http://twitter.com/cpanthers:

Fox: "I'm a firm believer that competition @ positions brings out the best in guys."

Hurney said Tony Pike, like Clausen, was the best player on the board when the Panthers picked him. "He was too good a value (to pass up)."

Hurney also said that Jordan Pugh will be a safety. He played cornerback at Texas A&M.

Hurney: "To draft well, you have to train yourself to go by the board, & if there's huge separation, take the best player."

Hurney emphasizing that they feel good about Moore & Cantwell, and that the picks of Clausen/Pike had nothing to do with them ...

(cont.) just that Pike and Clausen were too good to pass up at those draft spots relative to the grade the Panthers gave them.

Fox says DE Greg Hardy "has the skill set that we're looking for ... for a 6th-round value, those guys don't come down the pike very often."

Fox on whether Clausen could have chance to start in 2010: "Those guys answer those questions by competing, & we haven't had practice yet."

Fox said he talked with Matt Moore twice, & it "went very well," but he didn't want to divulge the details of the conversation.

kthnx.

What did you expect them to say? "We think Moore and Cantwell suck so we drafted two more QBs"? Wake up.

Do you really expect the undrafted free agent QB with a one year tender to get the nod over the top 10 QB that slid to the 2nd round? They didn't take Clausen to be a backup. You Moore nut huggers are in for a disapointment.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
