Love the pick. They need a wr bad but panthers needed a qb bad as well and this one actually has the potential to be great. He played pro offense and can probably start without to much of a problem. The only problem I have is it is an incompetent qb developing coaching staff mainly due to inexperience. Not all QBs are fiery like Jake, they have skills instead, that need to be 'coached'.

I was hoping for a WR like Tate, but it will turn out to be a good move. If Moore doesn't work out, and I hope for the record he does work out, it is nice insurance. This day and age you have to have a franchise QB to win a Superbowl(normally). Hopefully Moore is the franchise, but if not, hopefully Claussen is :).

My opinion? It STINKS!!!

Great freakin going FO.

Now you have taken away a good QB's confidence by selecting a literal "joke" and completely ignoring areas of need.

This is absolutely, 110%, completely, undeniabley a literally worthless pick.

Look at some of the other talent that was on the board at that time!!!!

One last thing, the stupid ass draft analyst referred to one of our RB's as "James Stewart" What a silly fine young male.

Strange pick? Maybe, but a very smart insurance policy for Fox. He was the best value on the board, and there will be WR and D-line help available in the 3rd and 4th.

Maybe Moore doesn't succeed. Now, we have a backup who could be a franchise QB. If Moore does succeed, even better because then we can trade one of the two for value. QBs are always in demand.

Hurney & Fox seem to believe that they have enough of the right pieces in place to make a move like this. How's that for a draft day shocker though huh? I think in the end this pick will work out well.

    • It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.
    • I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt. 
    • That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
