smitty is pretty clearly in the matt moore tank... i wonder how much stock the FO puts in his opinion on such things.

I don't know how entrenched he is Moore's camp, but I do think he believes Moore earned the right to be penciled in as the starter, and if Clausen or anybody else wants to take the spot away they need to earn it. I also feel he doesn't think the media is giving Moore enough respect for what he did at the end of last season. So he took the opportunity to remind them that this is not just the Jimmy Clausen show.

That's it exactly.

Smith has seen the repercussions of staying with the vet when there's a better option behind him. At the same time, I do think he likes Moore and thinks he can lead the team.

He's already told Clausen to go out there and win the starting job, but he said the same thing to Moore. I don't think he is in the Matt Moore tank, nor do I think the FO really puts much stock into his opinion anyway.

...The bottom line is that if Clausen wants to start, he needs to clearly outplay Moore, but if he does, he would deserve the start...regardless of what Steve or anyone says.

I can't agree with this. Who in their right mind starts a rookie when they have a starter who had 1 of the best records & QB ratings in the league for games started?! Is everyone forgetting that playing QB is not only about how much arm strength or ability to throw a fade, etc.? It is about knowing how to read defenses & to lead a team. I don't care how well Clausen does in camp, Moore is the right choice, unless by some freak occurrence he falls flat on his face (which is doubtful).

...but regaurdless of what happens, the best QB will start. whoever it is, it should be the guy that can do the best job on the feild...

if both of these young guys turn out to be good QBs, one or the other will be traded, and i want to make sure we keep the right one.

Ummm, have you followed the Panthers at all since Fox has been here? I'm kidding of course, but Fox has been known to make playying-time decisions more with his heart than with his head. Honestly, it probably the main reason he is on the hot/warm seat in terms of contract. I wish I believed it would be just the 'right' decision, but I think Hurney & Fox 'want' Clausen to win the starting job. We will see how things turn out, but anyone who has followed this team while Fox has been here, should know that it's often hard to guess what moves this team will make & even harder to know 'why' they make some of the decisions they do! :-)

Wait, so if Clausen clearly outplays Moore, and shows that he is a significantly better QB right now, that you would still want Moore to start? Even if Clausen shows that he gives the team the best chance to win? Sorry, but that doesn't make a lick of sense to me.

Granted, if the competition is close, Moore should, and likely will, get the start. But if Clausen definitively establishes himself as the superior QB, he would have earned the start. Moore is deservedly going into camp as the #1 QB, but if he is legitimately beaten out, then the man who outperformed him should play.

Now I get the point that it is usually optimal to sit a Rookie QB for at least a year, but there are exceptions to that rule...just look at Dan Marino, or more recently, Big Ben, Matt Ryan, and Joe Flacco, among others. I guess the only way I wouldn't start Clausen if he beats out Moore, is if he did so, but was less than impressive (which would mean that Moore totally tanked, or got injured). In that case, I would advocate bringing in a veteran. At this point, nobody has the body of work to get a free pass on a poor pre-season.
