Matt Moore one of the best throwing over 20 yards

I like that throw. Both passes that have the "zip" are inside routes (Moose's 1st down and Smitty's TD pass). Mooses TD pass (on the outside) hung in the air a bit as the CB was caught looking in the backfield. Was it an intentional floater, maybe. Look, Moore doesn't have a cannon arm and isn't a great QB yet. Heck, Trent Dilfer won a Superbowl with a solid run game and a stout defense.

I want to see what he kid is made of when the chips aren't all in his favor. That will tell me if he's got what it takes to be a starting QB in this league.

thats my question what do you consider a "cannon arm" and a great qb? would any rookie we ever draft fit in that category?

just watch the vid bobcat.

watch his eyes on the moose touchdown. watch him go through the progressions. watch the "zip" on the ball to moose and smith. watch him spread it out to different receivers.

Watching that does give me hope...but I'll still take the wait and see stance.

All but the pass to King...ugh

I'm not ruling out Moore as a starter next year, though I am approaching this with some caution. Jake didn't have a cannon either, it's not manditory, though Moore's throws have been spotty. The Giants game was his best to date. I've said it before, though not in this thread. Can he repeat that? We will see.

C'mon man, you know a cannon arm: Farve, Elway, Marino, Peyton Manning.

As far as a rookie QB, I like the LaFevour kid out of Central Michigan.

Moore may not be the Messiah but since he's come in he has been one of the best QB's in the league. Given the fact that we have no better QB on the roster, no first round pick and no good options in FA, I'm feeling pretty damn good about Moore. Get outta hurr trolls.

ncbobcat I am not sure what your issue with Moore is but he is CLEARLY the reason why we are winning games we are supposed to win. And why we are beating teams we weren't supposed to beat. Oh I am sure you will say that J. Stewart did it all. 300 plus yards in rushing. The trick is. Play action passing. Defenses are having to make sure he isn't throwing the ball. With Jake they were daring him to throw.

Matts Arm Strength is a plus. Go back a watch the video on S. Smith touchdown. The ball was on a rope and got there in a hurry.

What is your solution? Who or what is it you want. #1 Pick, Jason Campbell, Frank Reich? Hell maybe we should go and get Kerry Collins from Tennessee.

The team should be given to Matt until he shows he cannot run this team. We should go into the offseason with Matt as starting QB. If a QB comes in via F.A. or Draft. They will be #2. PERIOD.

Go Panthers

interestingly, it's been his shorter stuff that's been off... quick outs and the like. i was a pretty big moore critic at first, but he's been deadly accurate on the deep throws lately.

Short throws are all about timing and familiarity, deep throws are much less sensitive to those things. This is not to say that his short throws are going to get a lot better all of a sudden but it's not a stretch to imagine they'll get better once he has more time with these guys.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      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.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      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.

      Shedeur makes the Pro Bowl

      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.
