Keep the faith with Matt Moore

A couple of interesting games last night. Jason Campbell and Leinart looked much improved. Campbell is now in his 5th year and finally looked like he's a quality starter. Leinart still looks a year away, showed that maybe he can be, too. This, after both have received constant criticism from the public as they've been developing. Their teams, however, have been patient and given them time. I'm not saying Moore will get there, but I think he has a great chance. We, as fans, have seen a few QBs jump right in and be successful recently, and want our guy to be able to do the same thing. Moore is still a great prospect, and this season is showing that a little time can be rewarding with these guys. The same can be said about Jackson in Minn. He's one to keep an eye on.

Agreed...Rodgers is the real deal I think.

Skins haven't really been "patient" with Campbell, they have been trying to replace him and haven't gotten the deal done so they are "stuck" with him. He looked really good last night though.

I think how you handle a rookie QB depends on the team around him. For example, I think the Jets aren't a bad team, so I would start Sanchez since reports are that he has the right mindset, understanding and work ethic to date. Stafford? I don't care what that man does, I wouldn't start him. That is a horrible football team and starting him too soon could ruin him for good IMO.

Jackson, not so much.

Aaron Rodgers looks set to become a superstar this year. Don't forget him.

This what I'm talking about. Campbell is in his 5th year...give Jackson another year, maybe two, and he may look a lot like Campbell. Rodgers developed quickly, playing well as soon as Faverah left. He fits in the category of QBs who have us a little jaded.

I agree, the Skins tried to dump Campbell, and are lucky that they couldn't.

its sad to say but i feel that matt will never get a chance unless jake gets hurt again..i think that even if jake throws 5 interceptions against philly in game 1 the coaching staff and management would still want to start jake the next game..its hard to explain the way they always make excuses for jake when he stinks it up..like he's the best option at QB we have etc..i actually think moore is very talented and could become a great QB but we may never know..atleast while jake is healthy..

If Moore doesn't show he can be even the #2 QB, I say he is gone after this season. Right now, he is just the #3. This is his 3rd season and I believe his contract is up. The Panthers traded for Josh McCown for a reason....because Moore was not ready to be the #2 last year, and so far this year he is still #3. He has 2 more preseason games to hopefully show he should be the #2 because I don't think McCown is the 'heir' to Jake.

Rodgers had a good 4 years to develop into a starting QB.. Totally wouldn't classify him as one of those who "left the league jaded", as you say. He would be an example of letting your future QB develop on the bench instead of throwing him to the wolves.

IMO, all back up QB's get a raw deal in these pre season games. They're always playing behind a line that hasn't had nearly as many practice reps as the 1's, plus they haven't been together very long. That's why I was glad to see Moore get some time with the 1's last week. I would like to see both McCown and Cantwell get the same opportunity, but I doubt it will happen for Cantwell.

Wrong, wrong and wrong! We took McCown because Moore broke his leg....look at you making stuff up.

The Panthers were interested in McCown for several seasons. They made the move for him when he became available because of the Favre-Pennington move. It was NOT because of the Moore injury.

Big difference in my opinion between Moore and all the other QBs discussed in this thread. They were all drafted and early. I am not saying Moore cant be the future, and I understand draft status doesnt equate to NFL success. I guess I need to see more of Moore to think he has a future like Rodgers, Cambell, Leinert, etc........

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how Morgan is strategic-He re-signs Scott because he was not going S in round 1--he had the chance, and he did not.  He saw the top of the draft at T and knew none of them would be ready to start day 1, so he signs a veteran to a one-year deal, giving his tackle selection a chance to learn and prepare for what might be LT or RT.  Those two moves suggested, perhaps ironically because they contradict each other, what he was going to do, based on the talent pool.  He never brought in a Robinson replacement at DE/NT, and then moves up to draft one.   I almost wonder if the intent was to draft DT/DE all along at some point, maybe with a trade back, but then Freeling dropped to them.   Of course, we felt that they were looking WR, and wonder if the plan was to draft a WR in round 2 if you traded back in round 1.  However, when Freeling was there, the trade back fell apart.  Then we traded up for Hunter.  We could stick with XL and hope Metchie steps up, so we sat still in round three and took Brazell II, a 1000 yard speedster and perfect Z WR.  What a break. At that time, CB and Center were our biggest needs, and with several possible centers on the board and a good fit for our defense at CB, we grabbed Will Lee III.  Lee and Thornton have people in front of them, but I think Morgan knew we needed a guy who can play the outside and press--and probably step in as Jackson's replacement in 2027.    After making trades to get back into the fifth round, where we grabbed one of the best centers in the draft.  This is significant because we signed Fortner to a one-year deal; maybe Morgan saw what some of us saw--the center position is strong in this draft--on day 3, and day 3 players need a year, in most cases.  Moments later, a safety they had been talking to whose skill set matched what we are looking for in a FS.  As stated, Scott was signed,  but the fact that the Panthers were talking to Wheatley and not Theiemann means that they might have known they were not going FS early, but would need a developmental FS later--which explains why we signed Scott.  So if you pay attention to the one-year, vet deals, you can tell where we planned to sign later-round, developmental players.  What positions did we draft early that did not have 1-year veterans signed in front of them:  DL (Hunter) and WR (I don't count Metchie because I count starting-level players). I would not be surprised to learn later that the plan was DT and WR in rounds 1 and 2--then Freeling fell.  Notice that Freeling--from Mt Pleasant SC, did not come in for a visit.  Most of the other OT candidates had short arms or were certain to be gone. I don't think Freeling was in their plans.  I think a trade back and Hunter and maybe Boston was the vision.  I am guessing that CB was also high on their list.   So in this draft, we got

      This is one area I think that is not getting enough exposure in the midst of all the optimism. I like Chuba a great deal from a personal standpoint but he has largely proven nothing on a consistent basis yet. He's had the one season of production but before that most people pegged us as moving on. And last year injuries or not he just did not have that juice. The rest of the guys are completely unproven. I don't see anyone among the group having a game or a handful of games worth of high level production the way Rico Dowdle did last year. And yeah he dropped off and yeah he got an attitude about our incompetent handling of the touches which was honestly justified on his part and he moved on but he did legitimately save our season. That's what it is going to take to seize control of the NFC South. We all know that we will not be passing all over defenses. It is what it is. So who amongst this RB group is capable of doing that? And if we are struggling to run the ball AND pass are we going to revert to making excuses for our coach and QB again? That is definitely getting old.
