First NFL start statistics:

Troy Aikman- 17/35 180 yards no TDs 2 INTs

Tom Brady- 13/23 168 yards no TDs no INTs (followed by 12/24 86 yds no TDs no INTs and 2 lost fumbles the next week)

Not time to press the panic button yet folks. Lets give him a couple of more games to get acclimated.

(Can edit and add more, just got lazy)

I agree. He needs time and more games.

But we should also slow down the "Future of the Franchise" talk. Let's wait till he wins 2-3 games and start looking like Brady and Aikman started looking after they got their uglies out of the way before any more talk of Rookie of the Year awards or The Future.

Honestly I felt he wasn't ready yesterday. He wasn't ready as a starter despite Fox telling me he practiced just as much as Moore. Didn't look like he was ready for a full game just yet. But now that he's in, he should stay in.

Now at some point in the future I would like to see at least 1 win this year and I don't care who we have to put in or bench as QB to get it.

I think it's absurd they quit on Moore after 2 games in a year where the team is rebuilding yet stuck with Delhomme's poor play for nearly 2 years when the team was much stronger.

Moore and Clausen get blindsided 2-3 times a game and have terrible play calling and a stale running game going against them.

The fact they quit on Moore instead of fixing the play calling, run game and oline suggests they are incompetent and will simply throw Clausen to the wolves. I feel bad for Clausen. Hopefully with his mobility he will be able to avoid a serious injury.

i knew someone was going to say this....you know what the difference between delhomme and moore? while delhomme was a decent qb that got alot worse...moore is a NEVER was...he has never been good and does not have the history to fall back on...what are going to stick with a guy that you have never had faith in to begin with in the hopes that he suddenly plays better?

Regarding stats, also worth noting that Clausen finished with the same passer rating as Carson Palmer..actually a few ticks higher.

If the QB play was statistically equivalent, and one team won 20-7, there is obviously a lot else at play.

Moore played extremely well at the end of last season and played decent in a few appearances in 2007. Clausen made a few plays in preseason and in today's game but his QB rating is dreadful for every game he's played IIRC.

I think Moore and Clausen are both mediocre NFL QBs that won't do much without a well built offense around them which the Panthers don't have. At least Moore has had a good game before though.

Both QBs are young so I do not see the point in the QB change and giving a guy 2 starts before benching him is just weak unless he's losing games for you solely on his bad play.

This team is a joke though and it's pointless to argue about the stupid decisions this team repeatedly makes.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
