Why do we keep Matt Moore?

I'm confused. Jake is struggling and deserves to be benched but Fox keeps saying that Jake, "gives us the best chance to win..." That's on the assumption that there is CRAP behind Jake. I mean, your the best, but the best of the worst, maybe? mmm

I mean, Jake struggled against Buffalo and believe me - come Monday morning - the team let Matt & AJ take a few snaps in practice and after wards, the coaching staff said to itself, "well... Jake still gives us the BEST chance to win"

So, I ask, why did we keep Matt? Shouldn't a backup QB be somebody who can step up when called on? This isn't his first year, he's had time to learn the system --- show promise in practice!

If he can't do these things, why is he here? I don't understand keeping QBs that you have no faith in? This makes no sense.

We have one QB and two guys, the team is fearful to start. Please explain...

actually, Fox didn't let Matt and AJ take any snaps. He annouced Jake was the guy on Tuesday and I don't think they actually take snaps until Wed. Same stuff, if Jake is the only guy who takes reps w/ the starters....he will always look the best.

LOL ... so true, but that way Fox is correct. Jake does look the best.

Quality wise, yes. That doesn't mean the guys we have riding the bench are any better.

so you think Matt and AJ would be both be leading the NFL in turnovers at 15 if they had been given the keys week 1? Odds are against us having 3 guys that could duplicate that...

it ain't about being better...it is about having a QB who won't destroy the team's chances on his own.

It's like Marty Schottenheimer said yesterday on the radio, he was brought in as a 3rd stringer, cause he is a 3rd stringer. He doesn't have starting talent, just backup talent.

you do realize all these talking heads don't watch all the games right. I was listening to John Madden talk today and he said he thought Houston was legit.....how does he know? Well it is week 8 and he watched part of one of there games last week.....that is all he has seen and he admitted it. But he is willing to talk about them...there stengths and weaknesses w/o actually knowing anything about them.

Marty probably doesn't even know Moore has started games before...there would have been no reason for him to even watch Moore in 07.

Marty gets paid to watch tape on games we don't see, and he gets paid for his job stupid. He gives his opinion as a coach. Let me guess, you want Moore to run kickoffs and punt returns back? If so, thats the only player you have talked about thats logical.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
