Gantt's Take on Feeley

Recommended Posts

He feels that this signing is more an indication we have no faith in more

...In fact, Feeley's signing tells me much more about their comfort level in Matt Moore than it does their comfort level with Delhomme. If they were confident Moore was a long-term answer, they'd have probably saved the money and promoted Hunter Cantwell from the practice squad, or just waited for Josh McCown to get well (6-to-8 weeks, I'm told)...

Seems Matt Moore may not be seeing the back up spot to Delhomme like many were hoping. Frankly, whilst he showed good poise on Sunday, he also was nearly picked off on a couple of other occassions. Despite that, I still think he should be given a shot if Delhomme struggles again. I will even gladly accept Feeley getting a shot if Delhomme struggles again.

Wasn't McCown on IR by the time he posted this? Does he even pay attention to what's going on with the team?

Of course he knew McCown was injured and on IR. He was stating that if we had a big belief in Moore in being able to step up, we would have waited for McCown to rest up so that he could take on the third QB roles once healed rather than placing him on IR. With Moore filling in the back up QB, they could have promoted Hunter, then demoted him once McCown was ready.

What he is basically saying, is that in the FOs eyes, there is no 'second' QB on the roster and that is the role that Feeley will fill in.

Did you even read the blog? It makes it pretty clear...

Yeah I read it and Moore will be #2, at least for the next month. Feeley won't just walk in and be the #2 QB. Not with Fox as the Coach.

Aware of that. His point was why get someone who is only going to edge out Moore in the pecking order if you are that high on Moore. His reasoning is that they simply aren't that high on Moore. Feeley simply will not push Delhomme out the starting spot, but the way Fox prefers vets in the QB position, expect Feeley to be the primary back up once he is up to speed. Hence Moore will be back to being third string quicker than you would expect.

Where did it say anything about waiting for McCown to rest up and take the third QB role? Is there a page I didn't see? :confused:

The Panthers brought in McCown last year and he immediately became the #2 (when Moore was hurt) and remained the #2 until Sunday when he got hurt. If the Panthers thought Moore was the answer, Moore would have been #2 when he returned from his injury last year and/or he would have been #2 this year. To me, this shows a huge mistake by the Panthers. IF they did not think Moore was the long-term solution/heir to Jake, why keep him? Also, IF they thought McCown was the long-term solution/heir to Jake, why did they put him on IR when he would be healthy in 4-weeks or so?

Over the last few years, there have been no young QB's the Panthers saw that they could have brought in to develop if there current mix (Moore, McCown) wasn't the solution? This surprises me more than them sticking with Jake this season.

As badly as Jake has played, the Panthers must still think he is the best option for them. This is hard to believe, and frankly discouraging, but it is what it is. And if you look at the waiver wire, there really are no other decent options for QB right now. Anyone they could bring in now would only be a bandage on a huge wound.

They have no confidence in Moore?! He may throw some picks but he has moved the team in Pre-season, The last couple of starts that he had 2 years ago, and when he came in against Philly. Moore will get the team to the red zone.

Just Wild-CAT!! the rest of the season!! Both Jstew and Dwill in the back field!! It would be the devil's football!!:eek:

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
