A comparison of Moore's stats vs. Jake's average this season

Average stat line for Jake this season:

16 of 29 for 183 yards, 55.5% completion rate, .7 TDs, 1.6 picks, 59.4 rating, longest pass of the season: 52 yards

Moore's stat line:

14 of 20 for 161 yards, 70% completion rate, 0 TDs, 1 pick, 73.1 rating, longest pass: 66

Granted, Tampa Bay might be the worst team in the league, but Matt Moore today played slightly better than Jake has on average this season. His deep pass to 89 was the best pass play I've seen all season long. We'll see how he plays against New England.

Moore's new career record as a starter: 3-1!

A few things...

Moore's stats would be VERY different if this game didn't play out how it did. He was only asked to make 2 deep throws. One was dropped, the other was to Smitty... and we know how that went.

He missed a huge throw on one of the opening drives that really would have blown this game open from the start.

Fox's lack of confidence in him was painfully obvious all the time. How many 3rd down passes did Moore even attempt?

He did what he had to do to win this game. He did not look like the Franchise savior that many claimed he would be. He looked mediocre against a horrible team. However he has potential.

I would still not want to go into next year with Moore as our #1.

Yeah 3rd down and long and Fox elects to run? Like it's been said before, we're not just 1 QB away from being a contender. Fox needs to go too.

We DID find out that Moore is more than a competent backup quarterback though when there were throngs of posters on this site saying that he was garbage that would make Jake look like Brees. Resigning him next season to be the temporary starter while a rookie develops doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Fox's #1 priority was to win this game not to see how good Matt could be in pressure situations. In all honesty Fox and Co. played a good game with a relatively untested QB. One of the last things you really want to do is put him in pressure too early and having him crack. Make it easy for him and progress from there.

This was a good win from the point of view that Moore now has a little confidence which is key. He did not throw any TD's but he didn't lose the game for us either. Next week they will probably open it up just a tad more.

Whenever Moore started to get hot, it looked like they would take the ball out of his hands - playcalling was very strange. Not that they were setting him up for failure, but I was pretty frustrated we didn't get to see what he had.

I can't believe they allowed him to toss one deep to Smitty - that was nice. Should have gone back to him again though, let him finish off the drive.

EDIT: To above poster:

Yeah, though I feel like the ultraconservative play calling really does not win football games, it just prevents losses... and Moore didn't lose us the game by any stretch, so.

Moore looked okay today. He managed the game fine, but also was not given many opportunities. He did miss a couple of throws, and the int occurred on a pass he never should have thrown. Not to mention the fact that we were playing the Bucs. But he did show good poise at times, and even got other receivers involved in the game. It is a good starting point, and a good confidence gainer.

      Panthers get the day off for Victory Monday

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
