Why isn't Matt the bandaid? He is not a rookie anymore, has game experience, and more time in the Panthers system by 1 year.

I think Josh has shown the coaches a thing or two. He may be the chosen one to be groomed to start in a few years.

I'm almost starting to think they don't know what to do with the back up anymore. It would have been nice to have gotten (and kept) a comfortable lead in a few game to really see what Moore and McCown can do. But that doesn't matter anymore. Can only hope either one would be ready......just in case.

Hasn't McCown been #2 all year, esp. since Moore started the year injured? I'm not one to put too much stock in preseason performances, but perhaps the coaches were a little wary of Moore since he had a rough go of it. Maybe they just wanted to make sure he had some time to sit back before they had to throw him back in there. Of course, that's what happened last year, but I think there was more pressure this year, so maybe they just wanted a guy that had been through the ups and downs of the league before. While far from great the guy definitely hasn't been David Carr terrible - 35 TDs to 40 picks in 46 games played.

I don't think it bodes ill for Moore... if anything, maybe just another vet for him to watch.

I forgot that Moore got hurt... McCown probably was #2 all year and I just wasn't paying attention.

Moore came close to the IR list. In fact, some were surprised he wasn't stashed there.

But McCown came to the team as the #2 due to injury and Moore practiced at #3 all year as far as I know. I don't recall hearing anything about Moore's health the whole season so I wonder at what point McCown won the job? Moore was scheduled to be healthy in October (out 6-8 weeks).

I'd have loved to see McCown play some snaps but that would have required our defense to protect a frickin' lead!

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
