Moore might be back for Sunday's Bucs-Panthers game

(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.

    • I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
