I've been a diehard Jake fan this entire season...

but how is there any debate over who should start next year? Unless John Fox is retarded or enjoys f*cking with the Carolinas, Matt Moore will go into training camp taking the snaps with the first offense. I don't think we should be worried. Is there any single person who thinks that Jake should be the starter? Or that we should trade Peppers or JStew for a first rounder to draft a QB? If so, show yourself.

Is there any doubt who should be the backup? Jake is perfect for it. When you have a young starter you want an experienced veteran backup, because most of what he is there for is to coach the young guy. Apparently, Moore has blossomed from his two years spent on the bench behind Jake. When we saw him as a rookie, I would be generous to call him mediocre. And, if need be, I think Jake will be much better coming off the bench than this past year as a starter. Let's not run him off for this sh*tstorm of a season. He just needs a different role. A backup role.

When we saw him as a rookie, he was named Rookie of the Month for December.

Far from mediocre.

In those three games in 2007

Completion % - 56.8

TD/INT - 3/5

QB Rating - 67 (mediocre at best)

2009

Completion % - 61.6

TD/INT - 8/2

QB Rating - 98.5 (worthy of taking the starting job)

I don't know what his competition was when he won ROTM, but apparently

mediocre was good enough

If Moore wants to be the starter then all he has to do is pick up in the preseason where he left off this year. Plus work extra hard in practice and in the film room to improve his weaknesses.

Like for example he completes 55% of his passes 1-10 attempts. Then 72% of his passes 11-20 attempts. In other words he seems to start slowly. He also hits just above half of his passes to the left side (52%) but completes almost 68% to the right side. Both his interceptions came from the left side, none from the right. He throws better to the flats and post routes than he does to the sidelines. This takes nothing away from him just ways to improve his skills.

If he does those things he will be the starter. But after a good 2007, he regressed in 08. I personally hope he comes out in OTAs and training camp and tears it up which will settle the issue. Honestly even if Jake is back here it won't likely be beyond next year. So we still need to find 2 or 3 guys capable of starting for us.

For a good look at his game stats and splits here is a decent site:

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
