Before everyone gets too excited about Moore...

[methodtoll]

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

Hello sir.

Most are already aware of this. For now we'll have to hope the FO makes good decisions.

[SMACKDAB]

This is wayyyyyyyyyy to much insight for me. I can't take it anyMore.

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.

i don't see Jake in any of this thread's pics, but I do see Matt. that kinda makes me think that Matt is the man.

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.

If Jake comes into training camp with a chip on his shoulder and fire shooting from his finger tips (and most importantly EARNING the starting job through competition) I say start the fool.

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."

[HSCBandit07]

p.s. I really like Matt Moore and I still believe he is our starter of the future (and most likely next season)

...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.

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.
