How can anyone justify Moore over Clausen at this point?

First of all Clausen had more than 8 passing yards in the first half. For those of you uneducated observers, that is TEAM passing yards, which adds sack yardage into the equation, he actually had about 25-30, no less than Moore or Jake on average. Given the # of run plays early on, that should be no surprise.

Someone said he was too short...he's 3 inches taller than Brees.

I'll defend him on the sack-fumbles because if the line doesn't break down in one second those don't happen. The fumbled handoff, that's his fault.

The passing yardage? Could have added 30 yards if LaFell would've caught a pass and not have missed it and been called for interference.

Clausen is the right QB to be playing...give him something to work with, anything. A RB who on 1st down can get more than -2, 1 and 0 yards on consecutive 1st downs, an OL to block so he doesn't have to roll out, and receivers who can catch and keep their feet in bounds. Coaches who act like they care would also help.

Sorry but every time Clausen plays he is regressing more and more. He needs to sit some more and learn. Moore can actually get the team to the redzone which Clausen fails to do. Right now Moore is the better choice. Clausen and Moore might not even start next year or be on the team. You need to play the guy that helps the Wide receivers improve.

The team had 8 passing yards. Clausen passed for 15 yards, fumbled the ball twice and had an INT in the first half.

Clausen is a risk or just unproductive.

Moore is risk/reward.

Clausen...52.2 rating

Moore...33.3 rating

That is all.

pointless stats for comparison.

Moore came in a made some good throws staying in the pocket. Can't really fault him for either pick given how they occured. The backup QB is suppose to take that last shot and hope his WR makes a play...throwing the ball away is worse on that last play.

How do you justify interceptions as better than incompletions? Moore stands in the pocket and makes good throws to DB's and LB's. Sure he can get us to the red zone but he's a pick machine. 6 picks this year.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
