Moore's concussion is a blessing in disguise

I'm a Moore fan and I'm not celebrating the fact that he got a concussion, but if this concussion forces him to sit out against Tampa then this is a blessing in disguise, because we'll get a chance to see how Clausen does with the first team against a reasonably tame opponent without pulling Moore out.

If Clausen does well, Fox could use the "hot hand" excuse to leave him in there and if he does poorly, or so-so, then we can go back to Moore without any hard feelings.

I also think if we resign Rhys Lloyd it could help Moore with being comfortable again as the starter. Lloyd was Moore's best friend on the team since he's been here and could offer the guy some much needed support.

Agree, anything to make Matt more comfortable is a good thing.

But if our oline doesn't play any better than it did against the Giants, then Pike better be ready to play.

Yes, that was a pitiful display for a line that is supposed to be top 5 in the league. Pitiful. At least during his one series Sunday Clausen did show good pocket awareness in his own freaking endzone and shook off a safety sack from Tuck and just threw the ball out of bounds. I was cheering that play, thats literally how sad it had gotten.

Ofcourse you would say that, I haven't seen you post since the season started...Coincidence? I don't think so. :D

Yes, but Tampa is a familiar foe and it's early enough in the season that there's plenty of time for that work to get done if we go back to Moore.

Pshhh I posted a couple times. Trying to curb my fanaticism about the Panthers since then end of last season. Isn't working very well though.

...and yea, I was a little disappointed when they cut Lloyd as we share the same first name. :D

I even made a new wallpaper, but no one cared. :(:(:(

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
