Matt Moore and the Tender

[carpanfan96]

I don't understand why waste the highest tender on someone you plan to sign long term? Couldn't you just sign him before hand? Is there something I am missing?

The tender is a non guaranteed contract...so if something happens before the season starts with the CBA, the panthers can still give out a long term offer to him and would be off the hook for the tender amount.

Having now heard though that Bruce Gradkowski got the second round tender, I'd probably have to cave and say give Moore the first or the first and third.

The 1st and 3rd tender please..

Still think first and third tender is the way to go but if another team coughed it up I would take it.

Now, I'll just say that all this talk of Derek Anderson is ridiculous. Could Moore just be a flash-in-the-pan guy who never has a great game again? Sure.

Could that be said of all of the quarterbacks in the draft? Of course -- it's not like there have never been quarterbacks who have been drafted high only to play horribly in the NFL.

I'd say Moore gets the edge, considering he's actually won several games in the NFL, for peaks sakes.

(Not opposed to drafting a quarterback, but I'd rather it be in the second or third rounds -- or even later, depending on who's available.)

Honestly, I'm not that impressed with any of the QB's in this draft. Clausen might actually be the best of the bunch just because he's been playing in a pro style offense for years already. If you look at the most successful QB's in the last couple of drafts, that's what they all have in common.
