In a NFL.com live chat going on right now, when asked about Jimmy Clausen, Gil Brandt said,

"Clausen has a chance to compete with Matt Moore for the starting QB job in Carolina. His experience under Charlie Weis gives him a good idea of NFL offenses, and that helps. But if you look at what Moore did late in the season last year, he could be better than people think."

This is one of the first guys I've seen to actually see that Matt Moore has a lot more to offer than what people think.

Im just happy to know that whoever our QB is, he'll actually be the best one starting and not starting only because of loyalty.

I'm happy w/ that also...

however, I am not certain the QB who gives us the best chance to win......will be the starting QB. Obviosuly, Fox can be questioned now on such decisions.

i also think moore has alot of potential as does clausen, right now this is a win/win scenario for us. we get to find out which is better and maybe use the other as trade bait at some point. if moore rips it up ala matt cassell we could still franchise him and trade him for a pick in next years draft. if we could get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for someone who went undrafted is also a win for us

Fox has no loyalty to either of these guys and might not be here next year so i think he will play the best QB

IMO the reason Moore is not signed already is because they want to make sure he dose not pull a Delhomme and were stuck with him.

Not signed? Do you mean not signed long-term? :confused:

The flipside is that if he's a huge success, he'll be expensive to keep.

Of course, it strikes that possibility could be another factor behind the drafting of Claussen.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By CRA · Posted

      he averaged 2 yards in YAC per reception last year.  He can't generate quick separation.  He was debating retirement last year.    Yet we championing him as some great option.  AT is a savvy vet we force feed the ball too......on a team starved for basic offense the last couple seasons.  We overrated AT.  Which is why some freak when people like JT on his podcast point out the painfully obvious about him.

      The Athletic has us ranked 28th on their post-draft power rankings, mainly due to us picking T-Mc instead of defense in round 1. They recognize we needed WR help, but... https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6317651/2025/04/29/nfl-power-rankings-post-draft-rookies-eagles-chiefs-bills/

      I mean, he is a slot technician.  That's what he does.  So, in a good offense, you would be trotting him out there on 3rd downs and situationally.....to not take what they give him but to move chains.  It's a niche.  AT hasn't threatened defenses in years.  Last time we saw Renfrow on the field he averaged..... 6 yards YAC per catch.  Adam Thielen last year averaged....2 yards in YAC per catch last year.  I still contend in reality, AT isn't a slot WR.  Not in reality.  He is an aging rec TE.  And those aren't the same thing.  AT simply can't generate quick separation or provide YAC.
