Pat Y nails it on head about Moore

[TarPanther9180]

"Moore actually has become David Carr, circa 2007, and minus the glove. In other words, it’s to a point where the Panthers just can’t start Moore again. The only humane thing to do for Moore and his teammates is to go ahead and start rookie Jimmy Clausen at quarterback immediately."

I definitely agree with this. Moore is lost out there and running scared. He's lost confidence, swagger, and doesn't have the talent to make up for these things.

Yea I was thinking that yesterday. Funny our Oline sucked in 2007 and now in 2010 with the same result.

[HPPantherzfan]

Totally agree!

I feel bad for Matt, he was set up to fail. He was overhyped by many and just never had what it takes to live up to that kind of hype! To keep playing him like this is only making it worse! He will be shattered if he is booed off the field after every 3 and out; which is most of the time!

[PantherFanForLife]

Pretty much. Putting Moore in there next week is the equivalent of letting Delhomme start the second half of our Arizona playoff game.

After what just happened starting him next week won't exactly be "giving him another chance". It will be....ok Moore go choke again and hang yourself!

Then Fox and Hurney have another scapegoat.....wait a minute....oh f**k! Moore might start after all.

I don't want to put it on the O-Line. Moore simply missed a couple of open passes and the WR's suck (other than Smitty).

Yup, I think bad O-line play just ended his career. Matt's best asset coming into this season was his ability to stand in the pocket with poise and make good throws.

Then week one happened. He was pressured, he was sacked, he was abused, and he got hurt. Week two, I think he was scared. The Giants relentless pass rush got him nervous. Like Zod said, he wasn't making reads, looking off coverage, or going through his progression. He looked for his first man and tried to force it to him before he got hit. How many times did we see him scramble or bootleg? And more than once, I saw him take the snap and imediately start running backwards away from pursuit, instead of stepping up into the pocket.

Matt Moore is a scared QB right now. And I think the comparisons to David Carr are all too true. Carr was ruined by years of constant abuse. Moore was ruined by one bad week and an injury. Hopefully if he is pulled now, we can still save his career. If he stays in, this will only get worse.

[TarPanther9180]

There were several times I saw Matt Moore drop back and not step up in the pocket. That's on him, not the line. He was just scared to step up.

[Captroop]

If you read my entire post and not just the first sentance you would realize that you just parroted back exactly what I said.

[homeblown]

defense isn't hitting on much either, the secondary is getting burned. Moore just doesn't seem to have that fire like he did at the end of last season but overall the offense and defense are in chaos right now.

There’s one more reason the Carolina Panthers can’t turn back to Matt Moore as their starting quarterback.

It’s something that came to me after I filed my column last night,

Pat Y thought of it after he read my post:

Funny that he called matt Moore -David Carr. I think folks will see a better David Carr impression from Clausen than Moore. After all Clausen is the king of the dump passes and running at the first sign of pressure without looking down field.

With that said though, I think Clausen ought to get a shot. Lets see what he can do. Right now David Carr might be an upgrade to what Moore is doing.

And that my friends is truly sad!!

Somebody just explain why Moore tucked the ball at least twice on bootlegs and ran out of bounds 3 or so yards behind the line of scrimmage? Why not throw it away - you're clearly out of the pocket, but you decide to give up a sack by running out of bounds?

There was one time he finally threw the ball after stepping out of bounds - clearly scared to get hit.

He is broke. I never was a big Moore fan and thought he was overrated to start with, but hey - didn't he learn stuff from Romo before Dallas cut him, he must be the answer...

Start #2 the rest of the season barring injury. He is the best chance to win on the roster.

like the way people dump on clausen for "dumping down" to his rb's but aren't you suppose to take what the d gives and live to fight for another play than throw a int or fumble the ball looking for someone who isn't and probably will not get open? as long as we keep ourselves in 3rd and 6 or so we can dump down all day long and move the ball(just won't look pretty or exciting)

[TarPanther9180]

I would take a dump down to Double Trouble to make plays than an INT and/or sack any day!!
