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.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
