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:

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
