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?

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
