Joe Flacco 135.6

Peyton Manning 134.4

Matt Moore 123.2

Ben Roethlisberger 121.9

Matt Schaub 107.0

Matt is keeping some interesting company these days no?

Still a long way to go, still not completely convinced he is out long term starter.

That said, he did insure one thing last night, he will be on a NFL roster next season. Hopefully its ours.

It was definitely a good stage to perform on last night. And a good game for Panther fans. I was worried we would have another statistically okay performance but few points which is all that matters. But Moore made some great throws and receivers like Smith and Barnidge really helped him out. But that is the nature of a good team. They play well together and make each other better.

I agree with you Zod, I still think we need to begin acquiring QBs in the draft, but Moore played a hell of a game last night and has improved from week to week. Still not sold he's the long term answer, but last night was inspiring.

Same here.

I don't think we can for certain say that Moore is not the answer right now, though. For him to have a game like that against a top-tier defense and in his, what, sixth game as a starter? I'm eager to see what he can do in the remaining two games.

This is Moore's chance for a big payday. Finish season strong, then spend offeseason working hard on the Mid-Range passing accuracy and lots of study time learning how to read defenses. Come into training camp and take starting job, have good season and Cha Ching: $40 Million/5yr deal easy.

This is a playoff team, not in the playoffs thanks mostly to Jake and Fox refusing to bench him back in Sept.

It convinces me even more of what I said before... dump Jake, keep Moore, get an FA QB and draft a mid-round QB and let them compete for it. This way we have a starter a decent backup and a guy to learn the ropes/emergency QB.

What would we have to gain by ditching Jake when we will have to pay out the rest of his contract regardless?

In my mind, there are few better options as a backup quarterback for this team than Delhomme. He knows the team and the offense better than anyone and he obviously has chemistry with most of the players (even though you wouldn't think so at times this season).

I think these next two games will tell us if Moore is worth keeping. Even if we do keep Moore, I want to see us take a quarterback with our first pick.

I'm with you on this. Moore may very well be the answer. I'm curious to know what others are seeing that have them writing off Moore so quickly. Is it his lack of experience, or are people simply looking for the next Drew Brees?

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
