Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said he believes QB Jimmy Clausen could still be a starting quarterback in the NFL. 'The kid's got a good arm, he's an accurate passer, he's learned a lot, and I think if he continues to grow this season he's going to get his opportunity,' Rivera said.

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said QB Jimmy Clausen has a chance to return to the team next season and compete for a roster spot.
Fantasy Impact: Clausen isn't guaranteed anything at this point. He has a lot to prove.

The Carolina Panthers could consider releasing QB Jimmy Clausen before he receives a $923,000 bonus that would be paid if he is on the roster 14 days after the league's new year begins. The team would save a little more than $1 million in salary cap space if they released Clausen.
Fantasy Impact: Not a huge surprise with the Panthers set at quarterback for years to come.

Carolina Panthers QB Jimmy Clausen got off to a rough start Saturday, Aug. 13, in the preseason opener against the New York Giants. Clausen was picked off by LB Michael Boley, who took the pass back 56 yards to the end zone. Clausen's five drives resulted in a touchdown, an interception for touchdown, and three punts.
Fantasy Impact: So he looked like he did much of last season. Clausen did little to distinguish himself as the starter to open the season. There is time for him to get going, though.
Carolina Panthers QB Jimmy Clausen feels his experience from last season will be a benefit to him this year. He and rookie QB Cam Newton are battling for the starting job, and both players are on even footing when it comes to exposure to the team's new offensive system.
Fantasy Impact: You would have to think Newton will be given every chance to win the starter's job but nothing is certain.
Carolina Panthers second-year QB Jimmy Clausen dropped about seven pounds during the offseason and weighed in about 215 pounds when he reported to the team. Clausen said he feels in good shape and is ready to go when training camp begins.
Fantasy Impact: Clausen has a chance to open the season as starter, so getting in top shape is a good move on his part.

Although the Carolina Panthers selected QB Cam Newton in the NFL Draft to replace QB Jimmy Clausen as the starter, the team is expected to keep Clausen in the fold. The Panthers need a backup for Newton and it's possible Clausen could be the opening-day starter if Newton is slow to pick up the playbook in training camp. There also are people within the organization who believe Clausen still has a chance to be a good NFL quarterback and was simply put in a bad spot last season. Clausen also really wouldn't have much trade value right now.
