Matt Moore one of the best throwing over 20 yards

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..."

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...:rolleyes:

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

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.

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.

    • Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core. 
    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
