What most people have failed to realize is that Matt Moore has been able to complete passes to Steve Smith in the time that he has been given to perform. He's taken every single opportunity that he's been given and has turned in outstanding report cards. Of the million quarterbacks that we've brought in over the past five or six years to back-up Jake Delhomme, Matt Moore has been the only one to complete a multitude of passes to Steve Smith. Yeah, a lot of quarterbacks have gotten the ball to Smith, like Vinny Testaverde for instance. Yet he only did it a few times, and never was really on the same page as Smith. Even the deep ball he threw to him during that Cardinals game back in 2007, he thought he had over thrown his man. Matt Moore doesn't over throw Steve Smith, he puts it on the numbers, or in a place where Smith can make a play for it. And he's done it consistently. It's not gonna be hard to get Smith the ball for Moore, but doing it consistently takes time, effort, and a lot of film review. This is why I believe Matt Moore will be successful in Carolina. Not only will he be able to get the ball to Smith, but he'll also know when to check it down or get it to his second or third options. See highlights from week 15 when Moore tore apart the Vikings defense http://www.nfl.com/videos/carolina-panthers/09000d5d81523594/WK-15-Matt-Moore-highlights or pretty much any of the games he played in at the end of last season. I just really like watching Antoine Winfield pout like a little baby when Smith destroys him on that deep throw!

we'll see after this season. i am not sold on matt moore yet. i hope that everyone here is right about him, but the truth is that none of his opponenets had any film to study. this year, our opponenets will know what to expect. will he still be able to make plays after that? i hope so.

he played 3 games in 2007, and it's not as if teams couldn't look at the games he had played in 2009.

Minnesota and New York weren't surprised when he took the field.

I'd HOPE our starting QB can get the ball to our #1 consistently, and know when to check it down. Jesus ths post is stupid.

And... you're a douche for not understanding the post. I was trying to make a valid point as to why Matt Moore will be successful here in Carolina, where other quarterbacks that our FO has tried to bring in have failed. Some quarterbacks (ie. Jake Delhomme) don't know how to get the ball to their #1 guy and/or how to check it down when necessary. And a lot of people keep saying that we need to trade for a quarterback or draft one.. when it's pointless to do such a thing because we already have a QB who will be successful in our system. Now I know why I hate coming on these dumb ass discussion boards... because of redneck retards like you!

The numbers don't say he got the ball to Smith consistently.

Tampa-3 receptions for 78 yards

New England-2 receptions for 83 yards

Minnesota- 9 receptions for 157 yards

New York Giants- 5 receptions for 60 yards

New Orleans- did not play

What the numbers show is that Moore was able to get the ball down the field to Smith on a couple of big plays and that in one case had a big game against Minnesota.

But consistently means more than a few catches a game interspersed with one big game. In order for your statement to be true they need to have several big games each season and every week average 6 or more catches a game.

So far there is little to suggest that he can consistently get the ball to Smith. Delhomme was just so bad that the bar was set very low.

I was impressed by how Moore spread the ball around when he played last season... something we didn't see from that other guy... Get the TE's involved, get Jarrett involved (who I think is going to have a good year) and get another speed guy out there involved.

This is basically what I think. I really feel that Jarrett will be a solid #2/3, and that the biggest problem was that Jake rarely looked his way. Also, when he was in the game, it was usually as a blocker, but I did see him open several times where he was not targeted. So while many look at his low catch total and judge him a bust, I look at it and see a guy that has not been fully utilized. So with Matt coming in and already displaying the ability to spread the ball around, I fully expect Jarrett to have a very solid year.

With that said, I really do think we still need a receiver with good speed, and it doesn't necessarily have to be blazing straight line speed, but a guy that is very quick and has a good burst to give him separation from the DB. That's why I am probably leaning toward Mardy Gilyard as my #1 target (realistically since the Golden Tate's will likely be long gone by our pick). Another guy that I am intrigued by is Taylor Price from Ohio. He has good size and speed, and he was beating all the top CB's at the senior bowl practice, and caught just about anything that came near him. I have never seen him play, but based on his measurables and what I saw of him at the senior bowl practices, I think he would be a solid pick-up in the 3rd or 4th round.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
