Should We Trade Matt Moore to the Jaguars?

[TylerDurden]

Mort reported that JAX is stuck with Garrard as the starter and backup Luke McCown went down for the season with torn ACL in the game yesterday. After Garrard's performance yesterday they've gotta be feeling a little antsy. I like Garrard but idk what's wrong with him this year.

That being said, Mort is saying that JAX is looking for a a QB to bring in. I know trades in the NFL are rare, and even more rare for us, but with how MM sounded after the job was given to Clausen, it may be best to let him move on. I'm not sure what we could get for him but just an idea.

Then again, they could just sign back Leftwich and make it super awkward down there lol.

I thought Leftwich is back with Pittsburgh.

But I doubt this happens, not only because trades are rare but that wouldn't be smart on our part. It would still be valuable to have Moore as our #2.

And have Pike be our starter if Pickles goes down? No thank you.

"Hey I heard you have a shitty quarterback, wanna give us something for our shitty quarterback?"

Yeah didn't see he just re-signed with them today, I just knew he had been released recently.

Yeah I don't think it's very likely at all, but wondered if anyone else thought about it.

It seems once you develop one shitty QB, they multiply, so I figured it was worth a try...

Sure, just like how we traded Delhomme in the offseason. That 2011 1st rounder from Cleveland sure will come in handy.

Then we'd have to scramble for a backup quarterback. I don't think we'll get a lot for Moore even if a team wanted to overlook his two games this year. Crazier things have happened, though.

[TylerDurden]

Hey if we can get a guy like Greg Hardy in the 6th, I'll take another one of those...

[CatMan72]

At this point I'm not sure Moore has any trade value beyond a 6th or 7th round pick.

[mj4life]

if they want matt they can just wait till the off season to sign him & just plug in whoever this year

[Jbro]

We should trade him to the CFL for Leak.

I'm not trying to go Madden or anything, like I said, just wondered if anyone else had gave it any thought. But you're right. I think Troy Smith has a small fan club on this board though, and I wouldn't mind picking him up.

Again, I don't see it happening, but I already suggested before the season started that everything that has happened to this point regarding the QB situation tells me that Moore never going to be 'the guy.' Regardless of how he performed this year, I think he would've gotten franchised if he 'over-performed' and we then would've traded him for whatever value we could get.

We signed him to a 1-year tender as insurance in case nothing else panned out. If they thought he was the future they would've made sure he was signed to a longer-term deal while it could still be agreed to on the cheap. No doubt whatever value he had has plummeted, but I think we could still get a low round pick for him, and may as well b/c we're not keeping him around after this year, and I think that was part of the plan all along.

I'll take it!
