"I’ve never thought that they didn’t think highly of me," said Moore.

They didn't, or more accurately, John Fox didn't.

Sorry Matt. You are a bit laid back for Fox's taste. Fox likes his QB's fiery and all pumped up in practice, yelling and pointing and slapping the asses of the other players. Sure they may throw 7 picks in an actual game, but damn if they are not fiery. THEY are football players.

Sorry Matt. You and your laid back in practice, not yelling or slapping asses, "all I do is win games" attitude wont make you any friends on Fox's staff. Thank god Hurney knows Richardson would fire his ass on the spot if another team picked you up and you won elsewhere.

Hopefully you can ride out this season until the Panthers hire a head coach that actually believes in you.

organizationally it's pretty apparent that moore is thought highly of.

fox is the big question. most of us know how fox has been viewing moore and the reasoning for it. can fox put aside his feelings about what a "football player" looks like and acts like and can moore pick it up enough to meet fox half way?

i'm thinking moore will do his part to act the part without giving up too much of himself.

i'm only counting on fox being coerced into making moore the starter.

I don't think Fox is that retarded. Sure, he's made mistakes and he will still make mistakes, but it's not that easy to become an NFL coach; not every idiot can make it.

you can be successful and narrow minded. fox was successful enough to land an NFL HC job and keep it for 8 years but that doesn't change his being narrow minded.

he doesn't think that moore is a prototypical NFL player or QB. moore doesn't act like he things a real QB should and that is why he has been so down on moore.

Yeah. Why would a coach want his player to actually learn the play book. It is ridiculous that Fox would want his leader in the locker room to stick around after weighlighting and off-season conditioning rather than bolt out the door early. Fox is crazy to expect his quarterback to watch film and actually help with gameplanning for the opponent. This whole lead by example BS is way overrated, right?

Bottom line is Moore gave very little reason to believe he could run the team successfully outside of a short stint in 2007. Then he immediately regresses in 2008 and had a poor preseason in 2009. I am sure it is Fox's fault that Moore was reported by several folks in the know to be so laid back that he didn't put in the work every day.

After Moore shows he can win some games and play, they tender him with a 1st and third assuring he would be here. They also raise his salary from 400,000 to over 3,000,000 with the move. Yeah it really shows the organization doesn't value him or think he can do the job. Maybe if he actually works hard this year and shows up like a leader in the locker room, they might reward him again with a long term contract.

Yeah it is all Fox's fault, and Moore's attitude and behavior had nothing to do with it.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
