Gil Brandt recognizes Matt Moore's potential

Recommended Posts

In a NFL.com live chat going on right now, when asked about Jimmy Clausen, Gil Brandt said,

"Clausen has a chance to compete with Matt Moore for the starting QB job in Carolina. His experience under Charlie Weis gives him a good idea of NFL offenses, and that helps. But if you look at what Moore did late in the season last year, he could be better than people think."

This is one of the first guys I've seen to actually see that Matt Moore has a lot more to offer than what people think.

Im just happy to know that whoever our QB is, he'll actually be the best one starting and not starting only because of loyalty.

I'm happy w/ that also...

however, I am not certain the QB who gives us the best chance to win......will be the starting QB. Obviosuly, Fox can be questioned now on such decisions.

i also think moore has alot of potential as does clausen, right now this is a win/win scenario for us. we get to find out which is better and maybe use the other as trade bait at some point. if moore rips it up ala matt cassell we could still franchise him and trade him for a pick in next years draft. if we could get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for someone who went undrafted is also a win for us

Fox has no loyalty to either of these guys and might not be here next year so i think he will play the best QB

IMO the reason Moore is not signed already is because they want to make sure he dose not pull a Delhomme and were stuck with him.

Not signed? Do you mean not signed long-term? :confused:

The flipside is that if he's a huge success, he'll be expensive to keep.

Of course, it strikes that possibility could be another factor behind the drafting of Claussen.

    • KP is not a straight up carbon copy but they look awful close to me.  T
    • You are right. At the same time I don’t think people are watching games going come on Bryce put it on the ground or sail it OB or whatever. They just have trouble seeing him turning his 3 or four or five top games of 2025 into the weekly standard outing. Which you expect for the kind of money he will ask for (speaking for myself anyway).  
    • In terms of comparing Pickett and Young's arm talent it's basically a push at best. Pickett is sitting at 6.2 yards per pass attempt for his career while Bryce sits at 6.0 Last season Bryce was 6.3 in yards per pass attempt. Only Justin Fields Spencer Rattler (both 6.2) Kyler Murray (6.0) 41 year old Joe Flacco (6.0) 44 year old Phillip Rivers (5.9) rookie Cam Ward (5.9) and Tyrod Taylor (5.8) had less pass yards per attempt than Bryce Young in his third season as a starter. Folks going around acting as if it is beyond the pale to say Pickett might have a better arm than Young are living in an alternate reality. You can choose to not believe your own eyes after 46 games but everyone else will acknowledge reality and move forward accordingly.
