TRIVIA: Three Panthers rookie QBs won their first start


Carl Spackler

Recommended Posts

Who knows who they are, and what years they did it? I had to look it up last night to confirm what I thought.

EDIT: To hell with it, I'll divulge:

Chris Weinke - 2001 at Minnesota
Matt Moore - 2007 vs. Seattle
Kyle Allen - 2018 at New Orleans

Of the other four rookie quarterbacks to start a game, it took Kerry Collins (1995) three games to win; Randy Fasani (2002) never won in two starts; Jimmy Clausen (2010) needed eight starts to win and Cam Newton (2011) only needed three.

I vividly remember Weinke and Co upsetting the almighty Vikings (no joke) at that time, only to REALLY suck the rest of the season.

I still remember Biakabutuka fumbling the ball out of the back of the end zone in that game.

A young rookie KR opened the season by taking the kickoff to the house.

His name was Steve Smith.

I did not look at the answers--wanted to guess so I scrolled down:

I am going to guess

Kyle Allen--the other day.

Jake Delhomme--2002

Steve Berlein--can't remember year

(LOOKED AT ANSWERS)    VVVVV

I remember the Weinke--he was from minnesota--went 1-15 that season.

Did not think of Moore.  My guesses sucked.

My mind went to Delhomme as well but he was not a rookie and i was thinking of when he came in to replace Rodney Peete (was at that game and the only time I sat in a box)

Rookie?  I missed that little detail.

Weinke should have been obvious--went 1-15 that season.

Never would have guessed Moore.

The only "rookie" on that list is Weinke.  The others were in the league for several years on various rosters or practice squads.  I wouldn't consider that rookies.    

Moore and Allen were both rookie UDFAs.

Not by us.  Moore was on Dallas's practice squad for two seasons.  He played in the preseason with Dallas before he was plucked off thier practice squad.

Allen has been in the league for 4 years now.  That's not what you call rookies.

Are you joking? Surely you're not that dumb.

Kyle Allen was at the University of Houston last year. That's not an NFL team. image.png.61703c9b7c4dadfceda72a2408e3c2a8.png

Matt Moore was not on Dallas' practice squad for two seasons. He was at Oregon State in 2006. He started for us in December of 2007. His rookie season was 2007. image.thumb.png.14c1daa032c13888709c47590795270b.png

    • Yes. Big surprise that the man that couldn't even operate a pizza joint even with his name value in Charlotte can't run an NFL front office. Can't get over his 2023 and 2024 draft classes. Taking XL, Brooks, Wallace takes a special skill of incompetence. Can't get over his plan at MLB. Was apart of the Fitterer team and their comedy of errors. We need fresh ideas in the building next year not only at GM, but in our scouting department. 
    • Alabama yes. In general the ‘SEC success guarantees NFL success’ fallacy was really tough to overcome too. You still have to look at the player and extrapolate what their college performance would look like against a team full of NFL vets.    I think 62 SEC players were drafted in 2023. But there were over 1600 players rostered on SEC a teams. You might even  face an SEC defense that had no one drafted. Like Vanderbilt had no one taken in 2025.  So you just can’t blindly hold that hey he was great in the SEC he is a lock. Damn, especially with a weak armed little guy with bad throwing mechanics,     
    • The question was regarding Bryce only play well when the game doesn't matter and us out of reach. Bryce did not have a great 4th quarter but he had a great 1st half.  Started the game 4 of 5 for 45 yards and a passing TD. He made a lot of great plays in the drive where we scored our 2nd TD which was a short run by Chuba.  He also had a great run to pick up a first when the pocket collapsed around him.  Great pocket awareness and plenty fast and athletic enough. The point being he played very well at a time where the game was not out of reach or garbage time. That was my point and those games listed are the evidence that prove that point.
