(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) Carolina Panthers coach John Fox wasn't ready to count quarterback Matt Moore out for this weekend's game, despite his concussion and horrible performance in Sunday's season-opening loss to New York.p/Fox said Monday that Moore felt way better, after taking a few hard shots late in the 31-18 loss to the Giants, and refused to rule him out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. He also was emphatic about Moore's status, with the three-interception performance doing nothing to shake his confidence. Asked if Moore would start if he was healthy, Fox replied quickly: Yes.

Moore has to pass a team doctor's evaluation as well as an independent doctor's evaluation, on top of not practicing all week.

If Clausen has a good week in practice the job is his.

They need to let Clausen have this start just to give Moore some rest to be sure that when he comes back he's not a mashed potato. However, if we all know Fox Clausen has already been green lit, he just isn't going to show his hand to the Bucs.

Moore has every right to start. Jake got plenty of chances. Just because gross had a shitty game doesnt mean were benching him either. If healthy, he will play much better. You know the O-line will be extra motivated to keep him healthy, and the coaches will want to run it much more to keep him from being hit. I also expect to see some wildcat from Armanti too.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.

      Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.

      BREAKING NEWS: Trevin Wallace out for the year

      In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
