Matt Moore one of the best throwing over 20 yards

[Dpantherman]

from Pat Yasinskas

"Moore’s having great success throwing the deep ball. Moore has the NFL’s best passer rating on throws of longer than 20 yards with a minimum of 10 attempts. On that type of throw, Moore has completed seven of 17 passes for 246 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 128.1 passer rating..."

He really has improved his arm strength, and hell I will take a mediocre arm strength Quarterback as long as he is ACCURATE!!!

[Zod]

Can't be, according to local experts he has no arm strength.

Eh, what do they know, they just go to Carolina Huddle to get all their information.

isn't that aggravating? People can't except that Jake is done. He had some good years, great. Love affair over. Jake would be warming my bench, i really don't care what we owe him.

Nice stat. It has been very entertaining seeing the deep ball work lately.

Thats encouraging, although its to early to say if he is really that accurate, or has just gotten lucky.

Fwiw, most of the people who have been criticising his arm strength are not Jake supporters, they are people who want to draft or bring in a big name.

Delhomme only had a 34.1 passer rating on throws longer than 20 yards.

Moore also is leading the NFL in passer rating on throws between the numbers with a 123.0 rating. That's better than New Orleans' Drew Brees, who is second in the league in that category, with a 115.8 rating. Before Delhomme went down for the season with an injury, he had a 61.4 rating on passes between the numbers.

But, this is meaningless...

Here's another interesting stat. Out of the QBs in the NFL this year, Matt Moore has the highest percentage of his passing attempts going for 40+ yards. Here's the breakdown:

% of Passing attempts completed for 40+ yards

• Matt Moore - 5.2%
  
• Donovan McNabb - 4.2%
  
• Aaron Rodgers - 3.1%
  
• Tony Romo - 3.1%
  
• Matt Shaub - 2.8%
  
• Ben Roethlisberger - 2.7%
  
• Eli Manning - 2.5%
  
• Philip Rivers - 2.5%
  

This suggests that we may have the most explosive passer in the NFL. How much of that you can credit to Steve Smith is up to you, but Matt Moore is definitely proving to be a great downfield passer.

With Matt Moore starting next season, Steve Smith will break 2000 yards receiving.

Matt Moore is GOD

Seven completions....amazing! I can throw a ball 20 yards and I'm not an NFL QB. Apparently Pat never took a statistics class or he'd know that stats are highly skewed in small sample sizes (10 attempts sample).

Yes, he does have a relatively weak arm or we'd be talking about passes over 40 yards.

I'm not sure what is going on with the Moore-crush here--whether people hate Jake that much or they think this guy is a legit starter.

I know I'm going to called a hater, that's fine, at least I'm not the one man-crushing all over Moore.

...and this has opened defenses up for our running game - it's exactly what we had been missing all year. Every deep pass Jake attempted was essentially a hail mary... talk about no arm strength.

Fixed and agreed.
