Okay- be real..

[bLACKpANTHER]

i havent been to TC at all and cant tell what they all look like- so help me out here, and be real..

Matt Moore has been in the league for 3 years now, right.. is he really leaps and bounds over Clausen?

Lemme say this though- i am all for Moore starting.. but by the time Clausen is in his 3rd year, shouldn't we expect him to be leaps and bounds over where Matt is now?

[Zod]

Yes, Matt Moore looks far superior to Clausen in camp. Really.

Does that translate to actual games against actual opponents? I will let you know Friday.

Just because Moore was undrafted doesn't mean he is automatically worse than a drafted QB. But theoretically, yes.

[The Saltman]

Clausen has the arm and the build of a good qb. Does he have the tools and talent to be good in this league I think so. But right now he Is a rookie and just watching him for the last 2 days I can tell u he has a lot of work to do and time will tell. In 3 yrs yes he might be an excellent NFL qb. But right now Matt Moore is leaps and bounds better then any qb on this team including clausen.

In theory, as stated above, it should be that way. But we won't know for three years.

Moore in his rookie year was a beast in pre-season:

21 for 29 ( 72.4% ) and 182 yards, 1 TD and 0 INT. He did lose 2 fumbles though. So despite his completion ratio, he had a 1:2 TD to Turnover ratio.

In 2008 ( year 2 ) he sucked pretty badly:

35 of 65 ( 53.8% ), 389 yards, 0 TDs and 3 INT. He fumbled once this year though.

Last season in the preseason:

16 of 29 ( 55.2% ), 173 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT. Fumbling one time and losing it.

So in three years of preseason action he has 72 completions on 123 attempts which is a 58.5% completion percentage. He had 2 TDs in three preseasons to go along with 5 interceptions and 4 fumbles. Losing three total. Thats a 1:4 turnover ratio. If Clausen isn't a little bit better than this in preseasons for this and next year I will be supremely disappointed.

i'm not sold on m. moore... he had two good games against vikings and nyg..

the other games he just looked mediocre at best... time will tell..

[Doyle]

Cant wait to see them battle it out. A big fan of both.

[Lumps]

theoretically jamarcus russell is better than any QB on our team.

fact is you never know what is going to happen.

[PantherFanOne]

My belief is that both Moore and Clausen prove to be excellent NFL quarterbacks.

The same may also be said later about Cantwell and Pike.

Well yeah; everyone knows that draft order is the only deciding factor in who the best quarterback is. Duh! :mad2:

Observer reporter said if you took the numbers and names off of the back of the QB jerseys and were asked to pick the best quarterback, you would pick Moore 10/10 times. That was enough for me.

Nice 1st post

[Double34Trouble28]

Thanks. I figured we needed to quell the Clausen conspiracy theories that continue to swirl. He's closer to 3rd string than he is 1st.

If anyone knew the answer to this, they likely wouldnt be posting on this site. They would have the answer for our debt crisis and be working for Obama.
