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!

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
