I don't the think the staff would purposely hang a player out to dry at the expense of the team winning.

Yeah, I don't think for a minute they want to lose just to get him out of there. But I do think they could make the play calling much more Moore friendly. Last year they did that. This year, they know they have the guy they want in there anyway waiting in the wings.

I'm saying I think Moore has been set up to fail. Not saying the Panthers coaches are trying to lose, that's ridiculous...just that the formula that was used at the end of last season is not the same that they are using now. More, much more, is being placed on Moore's shoulders and his weaknesses are now out there for all to see. The coaches want to put pressure on Moore so that if he fails they have their excuse to go to Clausen.

yeah, because if there's anything I know about John Fox, it's that he'll lose on purpose for ulterior motives, and he loves failure. Oh, and he won't start guys he wants to start. This is all fantastically plausible, good work.

I don't see what they did as being unfriendly to Moore. He barely threw anything until that last drive in the first half, and he was still f**king up.

Unless being Moore friendly involves only calling smoke routes, screens, and other plays from Vince Young's Book 'O Football for Dumbf**ks.

Did Moore just regress as a quarterback, despite playing with the ones since the last five games of last year? Or has the playbook become more complicated, because Clausen knows most of it (similar system as Weis's at Notre Dame)?

I just don't think he can handle pressure. That's been my concern with him since we cut Jake. He played well last season because we were eliminated from the playoffs and he didn't seriously think he'd be given a shot to be the guy next year, even with how badly Jake played.

Also he rarely was having to play from behind.

(We WOULD have kept him if JR didn't pull the trigger on cutting him this offseason.)

And even what you're suggesting is true, doesn't that just make Moore a retard, and he shouldn't be starting anyway?

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      Center/Interior Line at 19

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.

      Not unexpected: Panthers raise season ticket prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
