Position Review: Quarterbacks

Excerpts:

Encouraging words from Delhomme on Moore's progress...

Moore was on the happy side of that dichotomy. With each start his confidence grew; with each surge in confidence the offense further opened and played into his strengths -- particularly his mobility and intermediate-range accuracy.

Few were more pleased about Moore's development than Delhomme, whose counsel has helped guide the younger passer.

"I'm so proud of him. That's the biggest thing," Delhomme said in December. "He understands the importance of everything now, of all the hours we spend (in meetings). He's worked at it."

Most of the work over the nearly two years between Moore's starting assignments didn't even involve picking up a football.

"It's the cerebral part," Delhomme said. "You've got to truly understand the whole concept of being a quarterback in the National Football League, not just the X's and O's. I think that's the biggest thing about it. Taking care of your body, putting in the preparation, things of that nature. That's something that you learn, and he's grown a lot in that the last few years."

And on his own attitude...

"Both of us, all we want to do is win, no matter how that gets done, I think that's good enough," Moore said. "It's not awkward. It will be fine as we go."

"I anticipate being here. I expect to be here. I want to be here. That's how I'm going to look at it," Delhomme said. "Certainly Matt played outstanding the last few games for us, so that will be a big question -- and rightfully so. Whatever decision management and coaches decide to make, be it in my favor or not in my favor, I'm going to keep my mouth shut no matter what and come to work."

Reading the article as a whole, I saw more evidence that the team is positioning itself for the transition to Moore as the starter (even if they're unwilling to come out and say it).

I'm liking what I hear. I think most Panther fans will see (if they don't already know) that Jake will handle this whole situation as a professional.

Just more happiness from Panthers.com. Insight from that propaganda machine is fairly worthless IMHO.

I hope Moore does well, when he's under pressure, and the games really mean something in terms of the playoff hunt.

The one thing I noticed with him was his accuracy on touch passes, or short to medium passes could sure be improved.

As for Delhomme, personally, think it's time for him to ride off to Louisanna, $12.5 million or not.

I'm sure he will be back and I'm positve Fox will start him.

Fox will not change unless Ricardson forces him to do so.

[DaCityKats]

who cares how he handles it, as long as he is not the starting qb. and he has no room to argue against not starting last year wasnt just a nightmare.its a "what have you done lately" league.

you expect them to do anything but cast a positive light on their own website? good luck finding any organization that doesn't put a positive spin on everything they do on their own website.

not sure how many of you caught the video version of the QB review, but other than it being a little awkward to watch these two guys talking, it sounded like they were getting ready for a transition to moore as the starter. all they talked about was how well moore did deserving a shot at the starting job and how much of a stand up guy jake is and that he would be great in a support role.

i still can't help but imagine an awful lot of quarterbacks in jake's position would be little bitches about all this, but he really has handled everything like a true professional... kudos to him for being willing to step into a mentoring role. i'd personally love for him to retain some role within the team down the road (so long as it doesn't involve throwing the ball.)

rofl that guy on the right is atrocious... who is he?

[PanthersFanNY]

I'm really curious to see what we're going to do at the position. I don't know if they'll do something with Delhomme's contract or what kind of contract Moore will get. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to see.

Got anything else you need to get out of your system? How about you actually read and/or watch it?

I don't need to get anything out of my system.

After 16 years of buying season tickets, I know what to expect moreso with Fox then any other coach.

Fact is, if I really want want to know anything about the Panthers, I never go to panthers.com. Ever.

Moore will get a first round tender and Jake will get the the signing bonus so they can void his contract if needed after 2010. At least that is what I think will happen. Who knows though.

If this video is sanctioned by the organization like you'd think it would be, Moore is starting next season for sure... O.o This is one of the strongest endorsements of Moore I've seen, haha. Even most commentators seem pretty wishy washy on him, but not these two.

Now all he has to is live up to his potential and deliver over time.
