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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
