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!!!

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
