What's Matt Moore's ceiling?

I was listening to NFL talk radio today an they were talking about Alex smiths development and I started thinking about how matt Moore doesn't get a lot of respect and yet he has never really played a "terrible" game. He has always been pretty steady in his starts. I know the playbook has been scaled back at times but he ultimately still has to make the throws regardless how simple the plays may be.

So my question is what is everyones view on how good he CAN be...maybe not how good WILL he be. We are simply talking about potential...do you view him as that Tom Brady/Peyton manning franchise QB that we will follow no matter what? Or do you see him as a guy who will always be looking over his shoulder bc he is just average? Or somewhere in between?

Honestly, none of us have been able to see enough practice/game tape/actual games to make a good assessment.

I think that he can be as good as Jake was, when he was good.

Also think that he could poo the bed if we were to put the game on his shoulders and try to ride him for a season or 2.

The biggest worry I have with him, is the "not a good practice QB" stigma that he carries. Many of the great QB's in the league are known to go through some practice sessions and have only one or two bad throws.....all day. Just starting to wonder if they are pushing him in practice to see if they can do the same on gameday, and not liking the results.

He did go 4-1 last season, but as we all know, give some DC's some game film, and they will break down an average QB in a matter of weeks.

If he stays healthy and our run game continues to be as good as it is I can see him putting up numbers similer to, let's say, a Matt Hasselbeck when Shaun Alexander was still dominant, hovering around 20-23 TD's/11-15 INTs a year. Of course his performance will also heavily depend on our WR corp coming together.

He has the size, athletic ability, and arm strength to do it all.

I believe he could be better than jake ever was.

The big question in my eyes, is will he continue the good decision making he has shown in his games with us.

agreed and i see no reason that he shouldn't continue and build on what he did last year.
The better question is

Is Matt Moore's ceiling higher than Jimmy Clausens?

no. in potential jake<matt moore<clausen

matt should do well and be a very solid, mistake free QB but i think clausen could be elite.

Im going to have to go ahead and say that Clausen has much much more potential, and therefore a much much higher ceiling than Moore. I like Moore, but I believe that Clausen does have the potential to be a franchise, Top 5 in the league QB.....I dont think I can say that about Matt.

Right now Moore's career numbers are very similar to Jake's. If is able to take us to the Superbowl and have a winning record in the playoffs, I would be pretty happy. If he plays as well as Jake did in his prime what is there not to like? If he can avoid the WTF passes that Jake made at times it will be a huge bonus.

my issue with matt moore is that the comments about him are "not bad", "pretty good", "didn't lose the game", etc.

Almost by definition, the best assets a quarterback can have are a great line and a great running game. When you have both and you are not putting together a top ten or fifteen passing game you can see why Moore is not getting a lot of respect. With a guy like Clausen on the team now, expectations for Moore should be very high. He's been in the league a while, he knows the playbook, and he has a solid offense.

He will be another game manager..

Im confident in him but also worried about defenses having some film to study on him. I feel like that was where a lot of his success came from. Defenses just not knowing him and his strong points

If he puts 40 points up on the giants again, I wont say another word

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
