Moore taken to hospital after loss


Laetitia

Recommended Posts

Carolina Panthers QB Matt Moore was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation, after taking a vicious hit late in Sunday's 31-18 loss at New York.

Team officials weren't certain that he'd make the flight back to Charlotte with the team, and had no further word on his condition.

Moore, who was sacked four times and threw three interceptions, doubled over on the field after being sacked late in the fourth quarter by Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora. He was helped to the bench, in obvious discomfort. Rookie Jimmy Clausen finished the game.

"It's tough," left tackle Jordan Gross said. "When a left tackle gets beat, bad things happen."

I really don't get the hate here. Moore is our quarterback for good or bad. If he is hurt it will be Clausen's turn and everyone needs to get behind him. This is who we will have to win or lose with. There was plenty of fault to go around in that game. Hopefully they get better at home and Tampa may be the perfect tonic.

I can't blame Moore for much besides throwing the 3 picks, they were horrible, but we didn't exactly set him up for success... As Moose and Goose said on the broadcast, the predictability of offensive playcalling was laughable.

That being said, I don't see what's wrong with giving Clausen a shot next week, as I don't think we planned to make MM our QB for the future anyway, and that's why he didn't get an extension, only a one-year tender.

I hope he's alright.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
