Another Matt Moore Article (Panthers.com)

It's a fluff article. Every article they've ever written is a fluff article.

it serves as a valuable finger-in-the-air of how the winds are shifting in panthers HQ

for anyone that would simply pass these off as fluff articles I'd argue that when an organization controls every aspect of the media and only releases what they want us to hear, you can read far more into every single thing that actually gets printed.

Bingo!

On the negative side for Carolina's quarterbacks was Jake Delhomme's touchdown-to-interception ratio; at minus-10 (eight-to-18), it was the worst in the league. The Panthers were 3-7 when their starting quarterback had a negative or even TD/INT ratio and 5-1 when it was positive, once again cementing the connection between turnovers and defeat.

Having got that out of the way, let's turn to an equally resonant number on the positive side.

Geez...can it be any more apparant that Carolina wants Moore IN, Delhomme OUT.

It just seems like they are repeating the facts we all know about the relative success of the two. It's late Jan and they have to put something there....it not like they are saying anything that we didn't know.

'Tis a really good point.

That could be the case, but I really doubt it is.

I would think that it is very likely that is the case.

Mason has pretty much never posted anything controversial. This is a way for the front office to gradually annoint Moore as the starter, without coming out and explicitly saying so.

Fiz is 100% right

[Fox007]

Teams still don't have a full years worth of film on Moore, we need to see how he will do for a whole season.

Hopefully we can just go ahead and get that SB victory out of the way next year with him at the helm, just in case.

Of course they haven't posted anything controversial, why would they? They cover the team officially and run the official online shop for the team. The organization isn't controlling anything, and the team website definitely isn't a propaganda machine judiciously choosing what gets run and what doesn't.

I'm sure the editor just keeps it real factual with as few opinions as possible. They probably believe that Moore should be/could be the starter so they are focusing many articles on him. I believe it has very little to do with the organization.

but why do they have to annoint anybody anything? It's January

Exactly. There are too many Panthers fans acting like bitches because Matt Moore hasn't been officially named the starter yet. For crying out loud, there is nothing wrong with letting him go into TC with the idea that he still needs to earn the job.

They are preparing for the senior bowl, thinking about FA and preparing for the draft. I doubt they are concerned with sending hidden messages at this point.
