First four game comparison of so called "talented" QB's vs. Moore.

How about comparing him to someone in a similar situation to his. How about Tony Romo. In his first 4 starts he went 87 out of 120 for a 72.5% completion percentage. He threw for 1088 total yards which averages almost 10 yards per attempt with 5 Tds and 2 Ints. Compared to that, Moore has a big way to go. I hope Moore turns out better that Romo has been particularly in the playoffs. Assuming he can one day lead us there.

And look how Romo is regarded now... Let's face it, using Romo as a statistical sample is flawed at best and possibly bordering on intellectually dishonesty on your behalf. I'm not sure what it is you have against Matt Moore but you seem very unwilling to give him ANY credit for what he's done.

Probably because he hasn't really done much yet. I want to see him play the next 4 weeks. I think it will go a long way to determine where he is.

As for comparing him to Romo, perhaps there isn't a better comparison. Both have had time to develop and sit on the bench learning and waiting for his chance. i don't see how anyting is inteleectual dishonest. It just goes to show that despite success early, it is no guarantee of continued success. Perhaps it serves as a cautionary tale about determining overall success too early. Like people are doing already with Moore. I hope Moore surpasses everyone expectations. But I have been jaded by seeing too many guys with potential fizzle out when they actually get a chance for extended play to get too excited at this point.

    • 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.
