Matt Moore's Biggest Weakness?

Yeah, a lot of you can make some jokes with that title/prompt... But, in all seriousness, yesterday I think his biggest weakness was exposed.

Take into account, none of us really know where the concussion occurred, although I agree with the assessment that it happened earlier in the game and when he walked off the field in the 4th he had been concussed further or for a 2nd time. If it happened in the 3rd it would excuse this 'weakness,' if not, then MM may not really be who we thought he was or could be.

The weakness - He doesn't progress through his reads. More specifically, he negated an entire side of the field.

Seemed to me, most of his passes went either to the right or middle, which may be the norm for most QBs being that they are mostly right-handed and offenses are designed around that, but QBs are supposed to work through their reads regardless.

The most obvious example of this was in the redzone. I don't have DVR on campus, but my mind is just as good sometimes, lol... Anyway, I believe it was Stewart that was in the game. He ran out to the flat 2 plays and had a good 5 yards or so between him and the nearest defender, and I trust Stewart to break almost any one-on-one tackle... Moore never looked back to him AT ALL, not even a glance. I remember thinking, why don't you just turn to your left and throw it!!! I'm almost sure it would've been a TD, and it didn't happen just once, but twice at the least. I can't remember if it was on 2 separate drives or just one, but I know it happened at least twice.

It just seems like he progressed through his reads last year. Either that, or the guy the play was designed for was open enough to throw it to and the 2nd option was close by.

Ive always believed that a team lives and dies by the guys who put their hand on the ground before the snap. I'm not excusing Matt's bad decisions or his inaccurate throws by pointing out that the line was on vacation but seriously, Joe Montana couldn't have done poo with our O-line yesterday.

Matt played poorly yesterday.

Is that clear enough?

But his poor play was exacerbated by and can benefit most from the O-line getting their act together.

I think you're exaggerating the bad play of the line. It was not THAT bad. There were spots where it was that bad but not the entire game.

this was also something from last year i noticed. he tends to float the long ball. a couple of those passes were intercepted were floated up there. unless the wr were wide open dbs can catch up.

Crazy floaters... I was going crazy when I saw those. They can work but you better be throwing to damn perfectly placed spot on the field.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
