Moore in much different position than Delhomme.

when jake was the guy, there was really nobody behind him to give fox a ton of incentive to make the switch. thus fox waited for an injury. hindsight tells us he could/should have actually made the switch.

things are differnt now. moore is backed up by someone who isn't just labeled as someone who could fill in in a pinch but moore now has a guy behind him who many of the experts believe is a true franchise quarterback. if moore falters, there is tremendous incintive for fox to give jimmy the reigns. the hesitantcy fox showed in staying with jake does not exist now so the pressure is really on matt.

can moore handle it? he is still largely unproven. he had a few nice games ending a season against teams that were resting players. he still hasn't proven himself as a true starting quarterback. last season, he was a backup playing for an injured starter. this year he will, and should, get the chance to be the actual starter but if at any point he doesn't look like he's up to the task then there will be very little reason to remain committed to him when you have a franchise quarterback waiting in the wings.

good luck matt. you're going to need it. i hope you can be what many believe you are and prove yourself worthy.

just as long as one of them pans out, it ruined derek anderson and brady quinn..although they might of sucked without competition anyway..

yeah, you guys are right. that was a trainwreck i cleveland. i too am pulling for matt to, at the very least, give us a solid 3 or 4 years to develop jimmy but this is a strange situation as most rookies develop behind experienced starters. claussen will develop while moore is really developing at the same time! then, there's pike.

the quarterbacks coach has a full plate with 2 rookie qb's, a rookie qb to convert to a wildcat qb/WR/punt returner as well as develop a former backup into a starter!!!

      Canales recipe for wins

      By cranky · Posted

      I said the conservative play calling was because Canales doesn't think we can win shootouts. Yes, I did say part of that was because of the young, inexperienced receivers and that the OL is better suited for run blocking. I should have also included Young as part of the reason as well but I was responding to the post concerning "young receivers" and Thielens' absence. I am not so enamored with Young that I think all his problems are simply because of the receivers. I do think they overpaid for him and he has not lived up to the cost. He has had his struggles, as does pretty much every rookie qb thrown into a bad situation. But I have seen enough good things to have hope that he continues to get better. The OP is just pointing out how his performance late in the games when the game is on the line is one of those good things.

      I think it goes both ways  It could be they are used to pocket passers, not someone who constantly has to create throwing zones for himself with pocket movement  point being, whether it is Young or the receivers or the sun or the moon or the wind, can’t win in the nfl without the threat of a downfield attack
