Five games this season, eight overall - What do we know about Moore?

What do you guys think of Matt Moore after his 8 total starts? 6-2 is a nice record. More importantly, he's 4-1 this season as a starter, with a QB rating of close to 99, and an amazing TD/int or 8-2... (8-1 as a starter for close to 1k yards passing)... He's not terribly accurate, but he's over 60%. Today's numbers were down because of how totally dominated the Saints (albeit second teamers) were.

So... Starting QB going into next season? I think he's penciled in right now, even in the crazy land of Fox. Jake will of course compete and will probably be #2. I expect us to draft someone, but not as high as 2nd rounder, and perhaps grab a good FA should one become available.

Not doubting it, but have you seen enough to know he is "the future?" I agree he looks damn good. I am just so careful to crown him, because I am afraid of disappointment, lol. It seems though that if you're going to go 4-1, with four of those games against 4 of the best teams in the league (and one against a tough division rival that always will play you hard), he better start. He didn't just squeek by against the last three teams, either. Once he settled down in each game he started picking defenses apart when he was allowed to.

The day he put together, sans Smitty, was great, when you think of how important he was to his previous two games. It also made me hope that Jarrett sticks around with Moore tossing him the ball.

Any other thoughts?

He's proven he's what Delhomme used to be when he first got here. A guy that could manage a game, make key throws when needed, and is excellent at handing the ball off. He's come in and given us some stability at QB which we desperately needed so Im very proud of how well #3 has performed.

That being said, I havent seen anything from him to conclude he's the future of the franchise and should be the unquestioned starter. Matt did a great job of letting the games come to him and not force things, but we never saw him have to really handle an adverse situation. We never were in a spot where we had to rely on Matt's arm to win us a game. Id like our future QB to be a guy who does more than just manage games and rely on our running game. The last thing this franchise needs is to annoint another QB premarturely with big contracts, no competition, etc because all you are doing is creating another "untouchable" like Delhomme with no trophy to show for it. I wont be sold on Moore until he does like all the other QBs in this league and lead us to a playoff or winning record. Id like to see the Panthers bring in a FA in the offseason with the intent of UPGRADING our QB position. I also would not be opposed to us spending a 2nd day pick on one either. Neither will probably happen as we will keep Delhomme, and treat Matt Moore going from #2 to #1 on the depth chart as UPGRADING QB.

Before Moore started we needed serious help at QB, a high draft pick or a respected vet.

Now I feel like we still need to check around in the offseason but moore has earned the right to compete and it should be his job to lose.

5 games isn't enough but he's certainly impressed. No reason why they shouldn't have confidence and so far he looks to be a great starter.

We will never get the QB fixed until Fox is gone.

Fox is too conservative and refuses to build a WR core to balance the team.

With what Moore has had on field, he has impressed me thus far.

I am not sild on him yet, but he should definetly be #1 on the depth chart right now.

I would like to see him compete but not with our other qbs currently on the roster

Have you not seen enough because he is white? Or, because he is not black. :eek::eek:

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
