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

    • I was never onboard with Morgan to begin with.  The dude always seemed a hammer short of a full tool bag, maybe too many concussions.  He was a Fitterer hold over and I thought he should have been gone when Fitts went.  He literally made it to NFL GM with no credentials to speak of other than a playing career.  Shorts stints of personnel management for the Seahawks and Bills, neither organization choosing promotion or retention.  I believe Morgan was added as a friendly face to sooth the a fanbase that was growing to hate Tepper and probably retained for the same reason.  Morgan never coached, had minimal front office experience and the GM he "assisted" was deservedly fired.  From what I can find online he received a BA in Liberal Arts from Miami so that isn't exactly a qualification either.  
    • If you really want to change the identity of the culture, then your opinion may indeed be the way to go. 1) I see nothing from our drafts since 2020 to indicate that either the scouts or the GM's are shrew evaluators of college talent. 2) A new GM should be able to hire a coach since his livelihood is directly affected by how well the coach can get the team to perform on Sundays. The only time I'm ok with a GM keeping the coach that proceeded his hiring is if the new GM wants to work with the coach. Ideally, He should have final say over the coach instead of the owner. And, that coach and GM need to be in sync on how the team should be run on both sides of the ball. 3) A new coach should be able to pick his own staff. If he wants to keep a coach already on the staff that's fine. A new HC hire shouldn't be told that you have to use this guy for one of the jobs, especially a position as important OC or DC.
    • The crazy thing is some of these plays that went down to like 2 on the play clock were basic inside zone runs. That poo shouldn't take 30+ seconds to decide when you are down 24... It's not like they had to hot route multiple receivers and change blocking assignments after lining up. It's almost like Canales has somebody else's playbook and needs to flip through 10 pages to try and figure out what play he is going to run
