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:

    • Canales is in the middle of the most critical point of his Panthers tenure: The 2nd half of the 2nd season. Looking back here is how the other head coaches performed to this point and how their time here pivoted. Dom Capers First 26 Games: 13-13 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (1996) won final 7 games to win division, took Panthers to NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 30-34; NFC West Division Title-1996 George Seifert First 26 Games: 12-14 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2000) Finished 3-3 with mixed results in games; finished 1-15 the following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 16-32; None. John Fox First 26 Games: 15-11 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2003) corrected the season after a strong start and mid-year stumble to win division, Won NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 73-71; (1) Conference Championship; (3) Playoff Appearances; (2) Division Titles. Ron Rivera First 26 Games: 8-18 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2012) Won 5/6 remaining games; finished 12-4 following season and won division. Final Record/Accomplishments: 76-63-1; (1) Conference Championship; (4) Playoff Appearances; (3) Division Titles; (2) COY Awards Matt Rhule First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2021) Lost final 7 games in a row, terminated 5 games into following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 11-27; None. Dave Canales First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: TBD Final Record/Accomplishments: TBD The writing was on the wall at the end of Rhule and Seifert’s 2nd season, while Capers, Fox, and Rivera all finished strong and rallied. To be fair, Capers 1997 and 1998 seasons weren’t great, but he was faced with adversity and still managed to leave with at least one successful season...thanks to the second half of his 2nd season.
    • There are always a few head scratcher calls a game on us.  That was bshit
    • Honestly unless the Packers WR in the end zone was disqualified from tackling, he was literally right behind him ready to tackle him at the 5 yard line. Probably better he dropped it field position wise unless people think Mike Jack has Ted Ginn speed or something.
