Not a whole lot of substance, but here's a summary:

He wasn't surprised about his and team's play late in the season. Gave a lot of credit to the guys around him who "stepped up" their play. He says the momentum of the team's play has him excited for this year.

Asked about contract situation. He has had talks with the Panthers, it sounds like they are leaning towards tendering him this season. Says there have been brief talks about a long term deal. They will be meeting in a couple of days (he is in CA right now) and will discuss further. He thinks the tender is the direction they are going but will find out for sure then. He was then asked if based upon recent reports that he will be one of the top potentially available QBs if he or his agent thinks that other teams will offer us picks to sign him. He said anything is possible. However, he wanted to be clear that he wants to stay in Charlotte as he and wife love the area, and that his preference would be to stay as a Panther.

The question came up with a qualifier that it was known that he was a team guy, is he concerned at all with not being named the starter going in 2010. He said he was not at all, as even being named the starter doesn't mean you're not going to have competition. His primary concern is helping the team win, and he knows that Jake feels the same way. Asked if Jake was a big supporter of his when he was a starter - he said "Are you kidding?" Jake has been nothing but supportive, as were Josh and AJ, said it was a great situation for a young guy to be in with each of the veterans being standup guys.

He was asked about Smith's quote in that he wants a receiver faster than him out there. Matt laughed and said good luck with that, who is faster than Smitty. Said he would like that too, although he was quick to point out that Moose is still a good player. Said any negative perception that fans have about Smitty's personality are unfounded.

Mac was the one who came up with "Matty Nice". Moore just laughed, said he was honored that people were trying to come up with a nickname for him, and that he would co-sign the nickname.

This kid knows all the right things to say, that's step # 1 of becoming a franchise QB.

I'm excited about Moore, I think we could really be sitting on a gold mine with him... he might just turn out to be our Tom Brady after all (with Jake playing the part of Bledsoe).

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
