Realistic Options at QB

I'm no expert, but it seems to me the main problem with our team is that Jake simply...well, isn't playing very well. We all like him. There was a time when he was a great QB, but I think that time has come and gone and I think the panthers are suffering for it. Other aspects of our team look good to me. But in the NFL any weakness is going to be exploited, and our passing game is often our downfall. Now that I'm finished stating the obvious the question becomes what can we do about it?

How good is Matt Moore? Is a he a realistic option for next season? Do we need to focus on finding someone new? Isn't The Golden Calf of Bristol going to be around next year? We have all bitched about Jake, but the truth is that he is all we have right now so we have to suck it up. But next year maybe we can get something done. Any ideas?

AJ Feely never put together a stretch as pathetic as Jake has this year. Feely and Moore aren't the answer....but it would foolish to suggest they would have been worse than the 09 Jake. Some average/medicore QB play would probably given this team wins against the Bills, Miami, Saints.

I'm certainly in for giving Moore the reigns for the rest of the season. At 4-6, with no consistency being displayed except in bad and/or conservative play calling, why not see if he may do better than Jake has? If he shows real promise, we don't have to draft a QB, we can draft to fill other critical positions. We need to start looking at replacing Moose, he's a hundred years old. We always need O-line depth, and our run defense is starting to stink. Moore has been with the team for a few years now, he knows the system and personnel, and he thus represents some continuity.

I don't believe in pulling for as bad of a record as possible for draft positioning, I want to see who can do the job now. But I DO want a housecleaning of anyone involved with the atrocious play calling. Dan Henning sure looks like an offensive genius with the Dolphins. Is the OC being overruled by Fox? Is Jake making some of these bad calls? We lost to a team, in OUR house, that just lost their best player this week, and making due with a backup QB as well. If we don't win out, we have no hope for the playoffs. I do not believe Jake gives us our best chance at victory anymore. I say make the change..

Good points. It would be interesting to see what Moore would do given a few whole games to start. I'm all for trying that.

With how our Playoffs hope are over, maybe now would be a good time to give Moore some majority of the play & see how he does before we name him the starter like he's some savior & is better than Jake. If Moore can still prove he is good as he was during the last 3 games 2 yrs. ago, then maybe we don't need to draft a QB.

Not saying I agree, but I think the Panthers think Josh McCown is their potential new QB. They traded for him, and he has been the #2. He has experience, he has been a starter, and is the 'typical middle of the road, average at best QB' that they seem to like (see Peete, and see Jake). I've also noticed that since McCown has been on IR, he travels to all the games and is still involved (huddles with coaches & Jake & etc). It will be interesting to see if they re-sign him because his contract is up after this season (as is Matt Moore's).

start moore this year and see what happens. we already know for sure what jake is incapable of doing on a regular basis. let's see moore show one way or the other and then if moore can't do it, then we have no reason to keep him on the team next year. draft one or get one from FA in the offseason and give him and mccown real shots.

truth is, though, that as long as jake is on the team, esp. if fox is going to be here, we aren't going to see any other QB being given an honest shot at the job. fox/jake are on such high pedestals in that locker room that no new guy has a chance.

best thing to do is for hurney to man up and get rid of fox and jake. i don't think he has the guts to do it, though, which is why he should be fired.

He's done well in a system that focuses on taking what the defense gives instead of trying to make something happen. He could fill the gap for 4-5 years while we wait to grab another team's backup (a la Schaub) or draft a future starter. AND he wouldn't be a bank breaker if he doesn't work out.

Are we going to hold onto Moore like we did Jeff Lewis and Chris Wienke? Until it is too late and our season goes in the tank. I say give Moore his shot for the rest of the season. If he pans out then he should be #1 going in with McNown #2 and Jake #3. If he really stinks it up. Cut Moore, promote Cantwell and give him a shot. Since the season is nearly lost then we need to look at all our options at QB. A.J. Feeley should only be a backup. At 32 we don't need a short-term replacement.

Go Panthers

      2026 Schedule. My goodness

      Bad news is Bryce will actually get use a middle of the round pick (9-8) missing any chance to get a QB. Honestly though I think Tep would be ok with that and see it as a reason to resign him. After all that’s the most success Tep can muster in 10 years.

      Yes.   It's been widely reported Aaron Glenn is an egomaniac and only wants staff who will not challenge him or tip the scales of power in any direction but his.   I'm guessing that has to be one of, if not, the most toxic environments across the four major sport leagues in America.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).
