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:

      https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
