Should have Traded Moore When You Had The Chance

Two years ago I posted on this site that the Panthers should trade Matt Moore. The Eagles got a 2nd round pick from the Dolphins for AJ Feeley. Feeley only played 4 games in 2002. I'm not saying the Panthers would have gotten a 2nd round pick for Moore, but he should have been on the trading block after what he did in 2007.

You guys all ripped me back then. Saying that Moore was the future and that you don't give away talent. Well would you want to make that trade now?

I'm glad we didn't trade Moore. He is looking better now so I see him as the future. Plus, we can save up some salary cap by keeping him as the starter (if that happend) & not draft a QB so we can get bigger need than that. Not to mention we don't have to worry about how a QB we selected will do.

Moore was ok today. Not great, but ok. All the illegal formation calls hurt us bad. Not sure if that was his fault or not. In truth, we have been making mistakes like that all year, so maybe its not his fault.

What also is not seen is that he had no picks even with Mooses bad day. He only had one sack. Also the most important he got the ball to Smith for a TD. Given that he has just started practicing with the Starters that seems like good stats too me.

He has tremendous pocket presence which is a HUGE plus. Also, his tempo is much faster than Jake's. Once the cadence started and the ball was snapped, the whole offense just moved faster then they normally do. He can also throw on the run and was able to avoid what would have been about 4-5 sacks had Jake been in there. I still like his play so far but any mistakes on the team's part will certainly make his progression that much more difficult for him. We made a lot of mistakes today all over the field. I particularly did not like the call by Fox (know it was him) to make the field goal attempt at 54yds. Obviously, Fox did not learn from the SB that you don't GIVE the Pats a short field. Also, there was numerous times when Welker was not covered AT ALL from the LOS. WTF?!?!?! IT'S WELKER!!!!!!!!

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
