4-1 Record, 8 TDs, 2 INTs...Matt Moore Ladies & Gentlemen


saX man

Recommended Posts

A bit of perspective in here, but honest, I'm not trying to make this a "see, Allen sucks!" thread...

Game 1: 14/20 161 Yards, O TDs, 1 INT (Win)

Game 2: 15/30 197 Yards, 1 TD, O INT (Loss)

Game 3: 21/33 299 Yards, 3 TDs, 2 Fumbles (Win, Primetime)

Game 4: 15/20 171 Yards, 3 TDS (Win)

Game 5: 14/23 162 Yards, 1 TD, O INTs

This is Matt Moore when we were convinced he was Jake's successor.  I think I have a fair memory of his play and it was solid, remember some bad throws that were disasters avoided, but he did enough to let us win.  The next season, we ended up benching him for David freaking Carr.

In comparison, we are all in clear mind of KA's work this season.  Overall, I think Allen has MUCH better accuracy, touch, and energizes the huddle a ton.  Not to mention, I think Moore has and will always have sloppy footwork.  His step back is JV.  If we're talking game manager, Moore was a classic game manager.  Thing was, he was super young and in a similar vein got everyone super excited because we all know we were at Jake's end.  So what am I getting at?

Saxy's Take:

Allen is a step above a Moore from what I've seen.  He has not been asked to go out and produce a game winning drive but he's winning, not having overtly sloppy performances, and after some early fumbles, clearly cleaned himself up.  When Cam is 130%, he goes back in, we play Allen until then.  If Cam plays a poor game, prepare yourselves for mayhem but I advise EXTREME caution with a young guy.  He's not doing anything next step and beyond that D Coordinators necessarily have to adjust to, but I'd be shortsighted to say he's not dropping dimes and executing the game plan really damn well.

This is SUPER generalized comparisons but I see more of a Matt Hasselback, Brad Johnson, Palmer, etc. than a McCoy, Fitzpatrick, Barkley.     

I give him a 7.8/10 so far.  Would rewatch.  Supporting cast is really awesome.  He carries it just enough.  He's WANG CHI from Big Trouble in Little China with Kuechly as Jack Burton.

But don't you dare forget about Cam

Matt Moore is still in the NFL

Yes.

I mean, the Nuggets need to have MPJ step up if they want to make it to at least where they were last year.  Murray-Harris is a solid backcourt.  Morris-Beasley a good rotation.  Jokic an MVP candidate.

He did not suck. He is still in the NFL and even started a playoff game for the Dolphins once. He was a good backup QB. Will Allen be that? Will he be more than that? We don’t know yet.

I think Moore was more like Jake.  I think that was always the Moore comparison.  Moore gambled like Jake did and just tossed it up.  Just wasn’t as good. 

Allen doesn’t play like either IMO. Allen if he gets the fumbles under control looks to be more of the true game manager in terms of play.   Seems to play much smarter and controlled

That would be the majority of the fan base headed into 2010.  That was simply the reality of it, particularly after the Vikings game.  I imagine you're about to take the stance that you knew he was poor all along but he's been a reasonable emergency starter for teams.  Don't be that guy.

First I think Allen has presented more touch on his passes and better ability to sustain drives than Moore ever did. He also distributes the ball better. 

Secondly. Just because Moore got benched didn't mean he deserved it.  Fox left him out to dry and put him on a short leash.  Moore was out playing Jake in 07. He outplayed Carr and Clausen. He never got a real shot here and his opportunity to be a starter was never in good faith here or in Miami. Dude never got the opportunity to grow as a player because the moment he struggled he was going to get benched for the draft pick. So you can say he wasn't good enough but we still won games and could have won a lot more with him in his time here.

Even if Allen is a Matt Moore, this team is good enough win 4 straight with him. Cam gets healthy and its a win win situation. Maybe Allen blossoms and becomes a badass you never know. It'll play itself out.

    • Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist). 
    • Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.
    • God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
