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!!!

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
