Facing Facts on Moore vs. Delhomme

[Dpantherman]

- He played better than Jake did vs. the Bucs earlier this year.

- He is more mobile than Jake, and when in comes down to stepping up when needed he did.

- His only turnover was a tipped pass.

- Longest throw better than Jake's longest throw.

- Completed a long pass to Steve Smith, something Jake has yet to do w/o throwing an int.

comments:

- Matt Moore is not the long-term answer. I doubt he could ever throw a 300 yard, 3 TD game in a big game.

- Matt Moore is still a better option than Jake Delhomme. Loyalty means nothing in this league

Bottom Line:

Matt Moore is an average QB, but sadly , average is BETTER than Jake, because Jake Delhomme is playing at a BELOW AVERAGE level.

I agree. Though I think next week will be the big test for him...if he plays. Right now, he's just the answer for the rest of the season. Delhomme had his chance, and fuged up.

Had we had a credible Deep Ball threat to Steve Smith all year like we saw yesterday, Defenses would've changed and the Offense would've looked totally different. Assuming Moore doesn't throw 5 INT's a game like Jake.

I don't see how this team can compete with a Jake who can not pass the ball downfield any longer.

Credible deep threat based on one pass? Played better with a 73 rating?

Sad that things have sunk so low. Lets see what happens against a decent team. Even New England is only 7-5 so even beating them is no great task. I hope we win but the chances are not good at all.

more credible than Delhomme, Moore has a gun. Needs more time but he can sling it alteast.

That one deep pass is something Delhomme hasn't been able to do all season.

Delhomme played worse against Tampa Bay with Deangelo Williams and Jordan Gross in the lineup.

A gun makes no difference is you miss the target. Cutler has a gun as well. How has that worked for him?

Which Moore didn't miss on that pass and Delhomme has the whole season...

well, he hit it. his teammates came in saying it was one of his strengths. Jake has tried to hit that pass several times to an open Smith and failed every time.

a 73 rating is better than Jake's average this season. If that was a bad/medicore game for Moore....then that is actually a really good thing.

The pass was not well thrown but the inside help was late so Smitty could make the adjustment. That pass needs to be thrown to the outside shoulder where the receiver's body shields the ball from the defender. Again sad that everyone is so excited about an only average thrown pass one time during the game.

Things have sunk pretty low.

What if this is the best he is going to play now that he will play teams with actual defenses. What if his numbers get worse not better. Is that still a good thing?

Like I said...It's a pass that Delhomme has been unable to hit ALL SEASON LONGGG even after Fox feeds us the bulls**t "Jake gives us the best chance to win". Moore only had a couple bad throws...the one in the corner of the end zone and the INT. And on that INT it was mostly a good fake out by the defender and if Moore had more experience, he probably wouldn't have thrown that ball. Everyone is just excited that he's better than Delhomme. He's added a new spark to the fans and gives them something new to see.

Can Jake even throw the ball as Far as Moore did on that play? I think not, Smith would've been running 20 Yards back and had to jump up with the CB to either make a bailout catch or deflect an INT
