Is a pocket presence something you can learn or a natural talent?

I went back and watched Moores picks and his td under the highlights at nfl.com.

The o-line can't be blamed for his poor decision making, he had time to make better reads or at the very least throw it away on the last 2 picks. The first one I see what he saw and that was Barnidge beating his man, unfortunatley Moore didnt see the safeties lurking.

If he can learn to have a better pocket presence then I think he can easily turn into a fine game manager at the very least. He displayed that he can be a game manager last year. This year I want to see him progress not digress or even stay the same. He now has some good film to watch and learn from, but if he doesen't bounce back in a major way, win or lose then I think Jimmy deserves just 1 shot to earn the job and prove to be more than a game manager but a game winner. If Jimmy does not show this in his 1 chance this year make him wait until next year or until Matt proves he can't even be a game manager.Good luck to you Matt!

My take on it is that, generally, anything that has to be instinctive like spacial awareness (or another physical ability) takes time to learn and longer to master. Those are the types of skills that you hone from pee-wee leagues.

Making decisions on where to throw the ball is more about studying and being prepared. Guys learn new offenses all the time and it doesnt take all their lives to master it. Idk maybe it does in way or another.

he could have possibly hit Barnidge if he put some zip on it....fact still remains putting him out there with recieving option consisting of just LaFell and Barnadge.....with up and down OL play is asking for trouble. They got it.

i have noticed from last year he tends to float a lot of passes that he should gun. is this a arm strength issue or a touch issue?

another game like last game and then you have to give Jimmy 1 shot. If Jimmy fails, then go back to Moore.

After the last two years with Jake, I can understand that we Carolina fans are yearning for a quarterback who can -- at the very least -- not lose games. But whomever it is we go with, be it Moore or Clausen, deserves more than a game or two to prove or disprove themselves.

Being stuck with Jake for so long has really turned us into a fanbase that seems to blame everything on the quarterback, it seems. And don't get me wrong -- Moore's performance was terrible last game. But we've seen that he can play, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

If he starts having back-to-back games like the one last week, then maybe I'd put Clausen in. But I wouldn't give him one shot -- I'd leave him in for the season. You're not doing a rookie quarterback any favors by putting him into a horrible situation, letting him play badly, and then not giving him the rest of the season to learn from his mistakes. If you're going to give up on Moore, then you have to buy in to Clausen and let him take his lumps the rest of the year.

Yeah, I think you either have it or you don't. If you don't, you find other ways to be a success as a QB. If you have it, like Brees, Peyton, and Brady do, you use it to your advantage. You may be able to learn how to move around some, but it's like shooting a perfect jumper in basketball. Some guys just have the gift.

They showed a play from the Pats game last week where Brady dropped back to pass. A Bengal blitzed late and Taylor had to basically turn a 180 and lunge at him at the last second to protect Tom. Brady didn't even LOOK at the blitzer. He knew where he was. He was looking at Welker. He made the pass and didn't get touched. Not only does he trust his blockers, but he also knows if he gets hit, he gets hit. He may have been able to step up too, if the blitzer got any closer. Young QBs without that sense would've more than likely panicked in that siutation.

I think it is just being green and his 8 prior starts showing. I think he has the arm strength for a lot of throws....poor judgement on the type pass in that scenario and reading the coverage.

Either way, the few pass plays we run shouldn't consist of rec options like that play did.

I still think it goes back to playcalling. If Davidson would stick to the game plan. Moore wouldn't be freaking out trying to force passes in the redzone. The Oline was almost poo, Moore was a little nervous back there...so, it goes back to playcalling to calm down your young inexperienced QB.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
