If Matt Moore was a drafted guy...

would people be calling for The Golden Calf of Bristol, McCoy or Con-Vick? Let's face it some fans are young and feel that unless there is a big name under center it is not good enough. Most of us that have been NFL fans for awhile realize that 2nd round QB's for the most part are a wasted pick. I really liked what i saw from MM last year plus when the Big Spending Bears, Deadskins and such are less successful than us next year will JR's youth movement make more sense? I like the moves we have made and are happy to see a pro-active approach to the 2011 season. What holes do we have going into next season? We will be younger and hungrier than ever. We are in the perfect position going into the draft. We can go BPA. We have only one need. WR/KR/PR. I say we add two receivers in the draft. Mardy Gilyard and Carlton Mitchell.

One thing that NFL history shows, where in the draft someone is selected in has NOTHING to do with how that player does, or does not, turn out. Many, if not most, first round QB picks are busts to some degree. Manning worked out OK, Leaf did not. Tom Brady was a 6th round pick. Joe Montana a third rounder. Dan Marino was passed over repeatedly before he was grabbed. Bart Starr was a 17th rounder!

Moore has shown that being familiar with the system and players can produce results. He has some longevity with this team, and he showed potential in the past. he showed even more of what he's capable of during the last 5 games of this past season. He has earned the chance to start, and show if he is for real, if he is the guy who can lead this team. if he fails in that, or is seriously injured, THEN we can look at drafting a QB, seeing how we'll have a first round pick next year.

Sorry but we have quite a few needs after all these releases. Mostly depth, but needs nonetheless. Maybe even more cuz they might not be done cutting players yet.

Moore will be the panthers best chance to go anywhere next year.

WR is the panthers #1 need. I would hate to see the panthers spend their first pick in the draft ton a QB instead of WR when the panthers already poses a possible franchise QB which is all you get from the draft. At least Moore is familiar with the Panthers.

I routinely pointed this out last season. Likewise, I think it's interesting to think of Moore as a rookie. I'm sure he's learned a bit, but how many games has he actually started -- seven or eight?

I think if we drafted a quarterback in the first-round and he played as well as Moore has in his first eight games, we'd be annointing him our franchise quarterback.

(This is not to say I don't want a vet brought in as a quality backup, competitor and tutor for Moore.)

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Basbear · Posted

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
