Josh McCown beating out Matt Moore...

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!

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
