Matt Moore starting is highly unlikely....

...for the same reasons why so many of the trade scenarios mentioned here aren't going to happen.

Agree or not, all indications are that John Fox still believes Jake Delhomme gives the team their best chance to win. And again, because Fox's biggest concern is winning now (not preparing for the future) he's likely to stick with Delhomme until the bitter end.

Argue all you want about whether you think Moore (or even Feeley) gives us a better chance to win. It doesn't matter what you think. It only matters what Fox thinks.

Keep in mind, I'm a supporter of starting Moore.

I'm also a realist, and because of that I don't see it happening :nonod:

Moore hasn't shown anything. At all. Other than regressing through every preseason game I've seen him in. And not being able to unseat the mighty McCown for #2.

Feeley would get the nod first anyways.

We have got a laughable stable of QBs.

The Jake Delhomme era is over if you ask me. Still we will not see Moore till next year cause what has been said above. Its win as many at all cost this season with the hope of a Playoff berth. Not gonna happen if you ask me but thats the idea.

Thanks for this earth-shattering revelation Mr Scot.

Look, they (Hurney, Fox) gave a guy with one of the worst quarterback performances in playoff history a long-term extension with $20MM guaranteed.

Marty and Johnny have this year for the team to perform. If they fail, they're gone, and they know it. They made a big bet on Jake, given that, there are two possibilities:

1. Jake starts 16 games, the team recovers and goes to the playoffs, and they keep their jobs, or:

2. Jake starts 16 games, the team fails miserably at 5-11 or 6-10. Marty and John pack their bags.

It's about self-interest. It's business. They are the only two possibilities. It's not about right and wrong.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
