um... i don't know if anyone else caught this, but this is what hurney said about the QB position...

"We all know we need consistent play at quarterback. I think what we've done is taken time and gone through the process. Competition always answers most of those questions," Hurney said. "Sometimes you let competition decide those things."

yeah, Matt Moore is definitely gonna get a chance to compete for the QB position... hellz yeah!

Trust me...this doesn't really mean much. Look for Hurney and Fox to address the position in the draft or FA if they really mean what they say. Actions speak louder than words. Everyone knows there will be "competition"...it is being forced on them.

In 2003, Fox said that the starter in game one would be based on production. Weinke was the most productive; Jake was second most productive; Peete produced a couple of first downs. Peete started. But, at least Fox had him on a short leash. I see Moore starting pretty soon if Jake struggles. It won't be like last year.

If Matt Moore outplays Jake and it is obvious in the preseason, then Jake still starts, it would be the dumbest move ever by the Panthers front office.

Still, I would not be totally surprised to see Jake as the starter. Watch jake in preseason, pad his stats with 3-5 yard passes, just to get his completion % high enough to shed blame. Then they will put Matt in with the second team(as usual) and base his performance off of that. If I see that garbage, I will know how that movie is going to end.

I just don't like it because training camp/scrimmach games/even preseason games don't mean ANYTHING. Jake can still throw a football, all of his problems are in his head. It's a no pressure situation, and we all know who Fox WANTS to start.

gonna be a long off season..

I didnt like this:

ON WHO THE PANTHERS STARTING QUARTERBACK WILL BE IN 2010: It's the end of February. I think it's way too early to answer that. Everybody knows how we feel about Jake (Delhomme). Matt (Moore) came in and played very well at the end of the year. I think that we just go through the process and see what happens.

It kinda sounds like Matt moore is going to have to beat jake, not the other way around

Given how bad Jake played and how well Matt played, I really believe that Fox could lose this team early in the season if he stays with Jake.

The other players respect and like Jake. However, their objective is to win. They know that Moore provided this last season. You saw alot more intensity and emotion in the Panthers after Jake went down. That was not by accident.

The other players were tired of playing their asses off and watching Fox trot Jake back out there time and time again to only see him give away the game.

If he is that dumb, he MUST go.

I usually laugh at or dismiss such speculation, but based on some rumours Moore isn't the most prepared or studious guy. He's never seemed to want to rise up to grab the starting job saying vague things abot being a team player, blah blah blah.

Maybe they hope to see him jump up and grab the job and show some leadership.

just a thought

if that is what you want to call it.....based on what Fox has said about Jake and Moore....there is no way Moore can beat Jake in Fox's eyes in a competition.

i think the only thing Moore lacks at this point is leadership. and i think that really has a lot to do with Jake still being there on the sideline. if he were the guy, then i think we'd see a much more fired up Matt Moore. i honestly think it comes down to whether or not Fox wants to take a chance on Moore. i mean, it's his last season here, if he wants to stick around here, he'd better take some chances. he's already shown that he's willing to take some chances by trading away future first round picks for Otah and Brown. so i'm gonna stop speculating and just wait and see.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
