How can anyone justify Moore over Clausen at this point?

[blak-n-blu]

Again, it's sad that the only defense you have of Clausen playing now is the better QB will not be here next year (which may or may not be true).

Its not like you can prove Matt Moore is the better QB..

Matt had one hella game against TB and NYG. Make that two.

[TheRealDeal]

I can give you facts that most people would understand show he is the better qb. Leads his team to more points, is better on third downs. Two right off the bat. Would you not agree those are two of the most important stats?

[koolkatluke]

Both opinions...this is more of a fact based thread.

Dude please be real if your a new coach or coaching staff coming to this team. You have 3 choices in front of you.

1. Go with the young QB who has 3 years left on a contract with the team.

2. Draft a QB that you like with the high 1st round pick you get from this bad

season.

3. Sign back a 27 year old back up most of his carear too be your Future qb who more then likely went 4-12 or 3-13 the year before.

Being a football fan what 2 things have a better chance of happening?

Please try too be realistic.

If that's the case, then, I'll rather have Jake Delhomme.

[TheRealDeal]

If we are being real then you know first of all that Matt possibly can't go 4-12 or 3-13 but again that shaky math is showing up. Second, he will probably be back if he even plays mediocre ball the rest of the year. Finally, no matter what happens the new coach will bring in someone who is his guy, rookie or vet so its not like Clausen is guaranteed to play next year at all.

Realistic enough for you?

[blak-n-blu]

That's fine.. at least, the new coaching staff will have some game tape of him to enhance their decision.

[TheRealDeal]

Don't forget that every coaching staff in the league passed Clausen at least one and some twice in the draft so don't be so sure the new coach will be happy he's here.

[blak-n-blu]

And every team passed on Matt Moore 3/4 years ago.. 7 times over.

[TheRealDeal]

You are correct..I'm not claiming the new coach is going to start Moore.

See the difference?

Are you a lawyer?

You are not anwsering the question.

Thier is no way Matt comes back unless he goes 8-8 or 7-9 and turns into what he was at the end of last season and leads the team too the playoffs. You can live on Make up Island if you want but I stay in the real world. Matt already was in a bad spot when they drafted Jimmy he already had too play out his mind to keep the job in the 1st place. He would have too be superman to stay on this roster after this season. Starting him over Jimmy now does nothing but set this team back unless you think he gets us too the Playoffs now do you think that can happen?

[blak-n-blu]

What I am saying is that....

Clausen is guaranteed to be a Panthers next year, Matt is not. Given Matt's inability to produce this year; why not let the rookie play it out?

[Phil Dees]

You know it's some MAJOR suckage when our starting QB has thrown more passes than the Bills QB, but the Bills QB has 7 TIMES MORE TD's !!!

[TheRealDeal]

I'm not sure if that can happen. A lot of things need to happen first. With Moore playing I am more confident we can get to the playoffs than with Jimmy. So if you want a straight answer, Yes, all things considered.

Matt had too short of a window to showcase he can produce. You can't take that small of a sample size and consider it truth. Fox doesn't care about letting the rookie play (neither does Smith, DWill, Gross, etc) he (they) wants to win and Moore gives the team a better chance.
