Should We Trade Matt Moore to the Jaguars?

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
