8 starts makes Moore a grizzled vet with Panthers

When Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen(notes) gets confused during voluntary workouts this week, he turns to Matt Moore(notes).

“Jimmy’s coming over to me all the time with, ‘Hey what’s up with this and what’s up with this?”’ Moore said Thursday.

Moore’s answer?

“I don’t know,” he said, shrugging and smiling at the same time.

Moore then chuckled in acknowledging that with eight NFL starts, he’s suddenly the grizzled veteran among the league’s youngest group of quarterbacks

Moore not knowing how to answer Clausen's questions. Moore better start thinking like a vet asap with not knowing the answers there!! :P

He should give B.S. answers. I mean, it wouldn't help anyone, it would just be funny for him to give obviously incorrect answers.

um... if i can be a little nit-picky here... did anyone else notice how they said we picked Clausen with the 38th pick, when we actually got him at 48???

and if i were Moore, i wouldn't tell Clausen jack poo. if he wants to win this QB competition, he'd better not give Clausen any kind of help. j/k... only a team can win a Superbowl!!!

Well I guess Vinny Testaverde was the best Panthers QB we have ever had according to most people on here. He did have the most starts of any QB to ever wear a Panthers uniform.

Jake only had 2 when he came to the Panthers FYI

Ooo ooo....Tom Brady had no starts the first time he started. Peyton Manning had no starts the first time he started. Joe Flacco had no starts the first time he started, as did Mark Sanchez, Joe Montana, and Bob Griese.

Everyone has to have a first start at some point. Some people do it as a rookie and succeed, some people do it after riding the pine for 8 years. The percentages of success from riding the bench and just being thrown to the wolves aren't that much different. QB success is a crap shoot.

It looks like i'm going to have to clarify my statement. I don't mind Moore not having exp its that we have no one with any elsewhere. We have Clausen a rookie and 2 young scrubs behind him. I am going on record as saying it is very foolish to go into the season with the QB roster as it stands. I would even have been fine if they had resigned McCown and then we wouldn't have needed to waste a pick on Pike.

I personally don't think it's as big of an issue as it could be. If all three were rookies I would be truly worried. That's not the case, however, Moore has been under the tutelage of both McCown, Delhomme, amongst other vets, for a few years now and no longer needs a vet from which to gather moral support. The rooks will now look to Moore for this and any mechanic advice and such will come from the QB coach.

Clearly Matt is not the Vet that a potential Franchise QB should be looking to for guidance. It wouldn't hurt if he himself had a little Veteran leadership. That comment should tell you he is still in a learning process himself. Its like the blind leading the blind.

And to beat you to it, I know there are coaches that should be doing that but it is always better to learn from someone that is in the heat of the battle every sunday.

And they all might as well be rookies. Cantwell hasn't even been on the active roster but a few weeks. Moore is the only QB with any real exp.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
