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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
