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

since someone keeps bringing up moore's lackluster preseason performance in '08, i'll bring back the question...just who was moore throwing to in those games?

can't remember? i'll remind you.

i pulled this from a discussion last fall about it....

That's a lousy excuse for poor performance. First of all those guys were also the ones he practiced with all day so he could develop timing and rhythm with them. He was also playing against third and fourth string defenders. If the guys he was throwing to dropped a ton of balls that might have some legitimacy but I don't recall that at all. The problem was Moore was indecisive, didn't seem to know where to throw the ball and was actually pretty inaccurate in his passing.

Nice try but that dog don't hunt. It was a poor argument last fall and isn't any better this time around either.

and delhomme was?

Better.

His preseason numbers were 64% completion rate and a passer rating of 88. To be the starter you have to be better than anyone else not as good or worse. This is the first time that Moore has given the coaches legitimate reasons to make him the starter. I only hope he shows everyone what he can do and snatches the starter role this year. As I have said ad nauseum, Jake isn't the long term solution but hopefully Moore is.

I would rather compare the regular season than preseason. bring those stats out and lets see who wins...

That will be a big factor this year and it is great Moore finally has something to bring to the table instead poor preseasons and poor practice effort and game preparation. Still if he can do as well as he did last year with the reported issues think about how well he could do if he put in the time every day and was the hardest working guy in the locker room. If Moore isn't the starter this year it will be his fault not Fox's. The job is there for him to seize and everyone knows Delhomme is not the long term answer. Everyone wants Moore to be the guy which is why he got such a high tender. But unless he comes out and shows everyone he is the man, he leaves the door open for someone else.

how is that a lousy argument? he had crap to throw to in crap situations. you can't expect to play like a star when you are throwing to people who can't catch.

plus, there was never any question coming into '08 who was going to be the QB once training camp started and jake started throwing. all questions about his arm being weak after the surgery were answered. moore was never seriously considered for the starting job that year so they stuck him in with receivers who had no real expectation of making it.

you only think its a lousy argument because you don't want it to be any other way. it shows a difference in opinion with you and you can't have that.

it was actually to any open minded person who might be on the fence.

i don't expect that to be P55.

Not true at all. I am a big Moore fan, just read my posts in this thread. But your logic is flawed plain and simple. There are tons of backup quarterbacks every year who play well with backup receivers in preseason. Look at Feeley in 2009 for the Eagles as a perfect example. Blaming the backup receivers for Moore's abysmal performance ignores the obvious which is he played poorly and didn't take things as seriously as he should. Given this is ancient history and he has a body of starting work to show he can atually play, I don't know why you feel the need to defend him. He has a great chance to be the starter this year if he gets his head together.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
