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.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
