Hell YES.

#1 guy to develop....problem is Fox will be developing him in his first year. To think what Manning or Brady would look like under a run first team. Not trying to compare but fact is I don't think we will ever see Matts full 'passing' potential under Fox, or even if there is much there.

CHARLOTTE -- Matt Moore made it official on Friday, signing his contract tender and assuring his return for his fourth season with the Panthers.

Moore was a restricted free agent who had been tendered at the maximum level. Had he signed elsewhere and the Panthers not matched the contract, the team would have received first- and third-round selections in return.

General manager Marty Hurney said last week that Moore was the team's "No. 1" quarterback, which helped contribute to the decision to release Jake Delhomme, the team's starting quarterback for most of the last seven seasons.

"I think that's what really got us to this decision (to release Delhomme," Hurney said on March 5. "The more you talked about it, I think it was clear that Matt was going to go in as the guy and take the reps and try to develop him."

Moore is one of two Panthers quarterbacks under contract. Hunter Cantwell is the other, having signed his contract in December when the Panthers promoted him from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

In addition to Delhomme, the team also parted ways with A.J. Feeley, who signed with the St. Louis Rams as an unrestricted free agent. Josh McCown is an unrestricted free agent; he was the No. 2 quarterback in Week 1 last season before suffering a knee injury and being placed on injured reserve.

Hey now...I know it hurts Hurney a lot to say he is now the new #1 but I never thought I would hear him say it...at least before he gets fired next year that is :).

Now, with Moore aware of his value I think bringing in competition is a MUST, and I am not talking about Cantwell.

I think hes reacting to the fact that there have been threads about Moore signing the tender for awhile, therefore it's old news.

      The Athletic Presents: Joseph Person's Panthers mock draft 1.0 extravaganza

      Round 3, No. 83 Dametrious Crownover, OT, Texas A&M The Panthers haven’t drafted an offensive lineman since Morgan was promoted, and Dave Canales and Brandt Tilis arrived in 2024. There was a good chance that trend was going to end even before Ikem Ekwonu ruptured his patellar tendon in the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams.Now the Panthers have to address the tackle position and might double down in the draft and free agency. The 6-7, 336-pound Crownover is a large human with a huge wingspan, and helped himself with a strong showing at the Senior Bowl, where he played both tackle spots. Brugler doesn’t have Crownover ranked among his top 100 prospects, viewing him as a raw prospect capable of making an impact down the road. If the Panthers sign a stopgap tackle in free agency, Crownover could be worth drafting as the future successor to Ekwonu or Taylor Moton.

      Round 2, No. 51 Anthony Hill Jr, LB, Texas The Panthers may have to trade up a little higher in the second round to snag Hill, who racked up 17 sacks in three seasons for the Longhorns despite playing primarily as an off-ball linebacker. Hill has the speed and athleticism to run down ball carriers sideline to sideline, and the size (6-3, 238) and attitude to meet them in the hole with authority. His coverage skills remain a work in progress, but he looks like someone who’s about to begin a long and successful NFL career. You might say he was born ready, coming into the world at the same hospital in Wichita, Kan., as Barry Sanders. In his second game at Texas, Hill had six tackles and two sacks in a win over Alabama, including one on the Crimson Tide’s final offensive play

      Round 1, No. 19 Akheem Mesidor, edge, Miami It was tempting to kick off mock season with a Georgia linebacker again, and C.J. Allen certainly could help Ejiro Evero’s defense as a three-down backer. But Morgan has made no bones about improving the pass rush this offseason, and it just so happens that his alma mater boasts two guys who can help with that. Rueben Bain is projected as a top-10 pick, but Mesidor might be the most polished pass rusher in the draft. Granted, he’s had a lot of time for that polishing: The Ontario native turns 25 in April. Morgan hasn’t selected a player older than 23 in his first two drafts. However, the 6-3, 270-pound, high-energy Mesidor will inject juice into the pass rush from Day 1 after leading the ACC with 12 1/2 sacks and finishing with 17 1/2 tackles for loss last season.
