Before everyone gets too excited about Moore...

Do we actually know for a fact that he will be starting next season? I mean, if Fox is 100% confirmed to be back this season (which most likely will be the case), he may still be committed to Delhomme to a point will there may not be a competition even though he may say "there is always competition to make our players better."

I am just saying, before everyone jumps to conclusions and assumes Moore will be the starting QB on opening day, we might want to see what Fox does first.

By the way, I know I may sound like Captain Obvious and there has been several discussions on this already but I figure I would bring everyone down to level 1

This has been said by many (myself inlcuded) for weeks. This is the main reason I am concerned about Fox returning.

With Moore as the starter, I would be fine with Fox coming back....we have a team like we saw the last 4 games of the season.

I know it has been discussed, I just been seeing quite a few posters that make assumptions that Moore will be the starter such as "We need a #2 for Moore."

...and it would be idiotic to send Delhomme packing due to the fact that we already have to pay the man, and he knows our offense. (He also hands the ball off better than anyone we can bring in - knowing the audibles and what-not). Bringing in a newbie isn't going to help us much next year because it takes time to learn the system.

Yeah it is scary to think Fox will still have Jake as #1 going into camp. I just hope JR isn't stupid enough to let that happen.

How do you know Jake wasn't starting based on pressure from the big cat? It's possible Fox was just being a good minion and taking the heat.

I'll put it simple. Jake is beloved by the city of Charlotte, hell, the states of NC and SC because he is a good guy and I'd love to name him Godfather of my kids one day.

But my QB? Hell no. And most of the Carolinas will echo this same feeling for years to come. I believe it was said best by someone on here a few weeks ago. We can't say "Jake Delhomme looking like Weinke". Instead its "Jake Delhomme throwing like Jake Delhomme." He is the staple of a bad QB. He's done. Gimme Moore at the position. (see what I did there?)

We still pay him the same if we cut him too. We should go ahead and cut him for doing nothing than pay him to possibly come back on the field and hurt our team again.

Addition by subtraction.

It seems rather clear that when #17 is on the field he actually hinders the team. If we have to pay $12 million just to see that he doesn't throw another pick or lose us another game then do it.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
