Fox is starting Delhomme not to lose his job but...

I think you are making a bit much out of this decision - Fox has always been very stubborn about replacing players, and seems to rely primarily on practice instead of game time. I think that is why Moore is so far behind. I think, though, that Fox recognizes there is tremendous pressure to try Moore, particularly if Jake falters in Arizona. We will see - if Jake's career is put down in Arizona, then I think Fox will give in to Moore. If Jake has even a decent day, no matter the outcome, we'll hear about how other people need to improve for another week until Jake gives the game to another crappy team.

Fox has put himself in lose-lose situation. Start Moore vs Arizona to appease the fans(and anyone with common sense) and he either 1. plays great, finishes the season playing great, Fox gets fired for sticking with Jake with his contract or 2. Moore plays horribly, Fox gets to say I told you so, and he's fired anyway. The ONLY way for Fox to keep his job is if Jake plays great, not just good, for the rest of the year.

Watch Moore go to another team and become a pro bowler.

I would be okay with that, just so all of the anti-Moore crowd here could eat crow.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting him to be All Pro or anything. I just think it's unfair to outright declare there is no way Moore is capable of starting in this league, especially when he's won two out of the three games he's started.

And this league is about what have you done for my lately. Why are all of you hung up on ancient history.

Oh, because that is the only possible justification..............

Nevermind.....

This FO failed to get a backup QB. They also failed to get Smith help at WR.

You do have two kickers, two FB's however. When a FO starts giving away #1 picks you should smell trouble. The strategy of doing it last year and going big and planning to run was ok and resulted in success. The problem surfaced when you have to play from behind. So going into this year with zero movement on the WR front is a huge fail. Perhaps the biggest fail of all to me. It is the end of the Fox and Delhomme era. Period.

      The meat and potatoes: Out of 30 qualifying QBs in Week 1, Young ranked: Dead last in EPA (-0.60) Dead last in success rate (20%) Dead last in Y/A at 3.6 Dead last in passer rating at 27.5 How are you averaging just 3.6 Y/A on unpressured dropbacks in the first half of a game? Thinking back to that halftime deficit, I’m reminded of this stat: The Panthers led at halftime in three of Young’s 12 starts last year. They are now 0 for 1 this year. In his 29 career starts, the Panthers have led at halftime in 5 of 29 (17%). Since 2000, there have been 37 QBs to start at least 25 games in their first two years in the NFL. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than six of his starts. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than 20% of his starts. So many people were backing Young based on the super small sample at the end of the year when they thought he played better, and he did play moderately better. But even in those games, he delivered average stats against the NFL’s easiest schedule of pass defenses to close the year, with every opponent ranking 20th or worse. There’s never been a QB who rebounded from performance like Young delivered in his first couple of years to go on to become a franchise quarterback. Some stay around as a journeyman, but they don’t lead teams. The Panthers put all their eggs in the Young basket this offseason. The Panthers were the darlings to win the NFC South by many. Yes, it’s only one game, and there certainly are opportunities to improve.   The opportunity is to start someone else at QB.   I don’t want to see anymore debate in whether Bryce is the worst QB ever.  Especially not the worst #1 overall pick ever.  What a fuging bust.
