If you are at the game or watching it on TV...watch his eyes and how he scans the field. I don't know that I saw him run through his reads once this season

Watch either the first play of the Giants or the Bucs game, he clearly scans and it's a close up of his face. Not sure which game it is but I think it's the first pass play in either game. The only reason I remember is because everyone always talks about it on here.

One word: Underdog.

Maybe it's just me but one thing that always gets me emotional when it comes to sports, to athletes and certainly to the Panthers is when they accomplish a little more than just a win.

Not that I have anything against great teams or players. My second favorite team is the Patriots, which are always reliable and consistent winners, but it always meant something more to me when a team or a guy that nobody notices or gives a chance to, accomplishes the impossible or the unimaginable. And even the Patriots's QB is led by one of those guys that proved even though he didn't have the name, the pedigree, or the fame, turned out to be one of the greats that every year is mentioned in sentences with some of the greats.

To me the Panthers have always been that team. We have always flew under the radar. We never had the media coverage other great teams get. Our best wide receiver, Steve Smith, was a problem-athelete and considered too small by many to ever make a difference on the NFL level. 10 years into his career and that's certainly not the case. He proved his doubters wrong. Our first true franchise QB, love him or hate him, was also a nobody, played in NFL Europe, and came in as a back-up, but out of all the QB this team has been through, he managed to be the first true franchise QB, and the only one to ever take us to a Superbowl. And on that day, he played toe-to-toe and throw-for-throw with Tom Brady.

And now here we are. The nobodys once again, being lead by another nobody. Mot of the fans don't even want him starting. And even more believe he won't even be here next year. He was passed over by an unproven rookie with a name this year, and has been passed over many, many times before in the past. Despite the fact that he won more games than lost as a starter on this team, he gets very little credit and is doubted by most.

Most around here already have labeled me as a Moore lover. Do I love him? No, I wouldn't go that far. But I do like him and I love the idea of him being another diamond in the rough. And I really hope this guy comes out there and proves his doubters wrong. So do I support him with all my heart? You're GOD DAMN RIGHT I DO! Matt Moore fits this team and this team's history like a glove and because of that, this Sunday my heart's going to be 100% behind this guy and behind this team.

I'm excited! And if you are not, go screw a sheep!

PS: One more thing. We are going to win on Sunday!

Are you retarded or do you just enjoy the flavor of lead paint chips?

Thats because the pocket is collapsing before he even gets the chance to begin scanning the field, another reason is because his eyes are locked on smitty. if he had a little more time i think ud see our tight ends catching more passes.

interesting

you don't say...

Not that I have anything against great teams or players.

sweet

My second favorite team is the Patriots, which are always reliable and consistent winners, but it always meant something more to me when a team or a guy that nobody notices or gives a chance to, accomplishes the impossible or the unimaginable.

does it?

And even the Patriots's QB is led by one of those guys that proved even though he didn't have the name, the pedigree, or the fame, turned out to be one of the greats that every year is mentioned in sentences with some of the greats.

ingenious

To me the Panthers have always been that team.

it's totally tubular that you think that

We have always flew under the radar.

ah yes here's something i've never heard someone use to describe the panthers

We never had the media coverage other great teams get.

i know, right? (kicks dirt)

Our best wide receiver, Steve Smith, was a problem-athelete and considered too small by many to ever make a difference on the NFL level.

You're 5 foot nothin', 100 and nothin', and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best college football players in the land for 2 years. And you're gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this life, you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody but yourself. And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't gonna never happen. Now go on back.

10 years into his career and that's certainly not the case.

how?

He proved his doubters wrong.

yea like the little engine that could. i like feelgood stories that relate to that and goodnight moon too

Our first true franchise QB, love him or hate him, was also a nobody, played in NFL Europe, and came in as a back-up, but out of all the QB this team has been through, he managed to be the first true franchise QB, and the only one to ever take us to a Superbowl.

you are the first person to realize this

And on that day, he played toe-to-toe and throw-for-throw with Tom Brady.

neato!

And now here we are.

as in olden days, happy golden days of yore

The nobodys once again, being lead by another nobody.

oh my bad i thought you were about to start belting out carols didn't know you weren't finished

Mot of the fans don't even want him starting.

they don't?!

And even more believe he won't even be here next year.

que lastima

He was passed over by an unproven rookie with a name this year, and has been passed over many, many times before in the past.

i know, right? fuging clausen and with his talent and his high-falutin notre dame background and poor matt moore who played on a team with a name that is also a euphemism for vaginas

Despite the fact that he won more games than lost as a starter on this team, he gets very little credit and is doubted by most.

i know right, since he's done soooooo much to earn our respect, i mean, he beat those second string saints last year, and also the bucs second string two years before that, yea man it's hard to beat teams that have already clinched playoff berths and have much less incentive to win games

Most around here already have labeled me as a Moore lover.

how could they when you've given them no indication?

Do I love him?

*shrugs*

No, I wouldn't go that far.

oh, okay, so now i know you're not an extremist moore fan

But I do like him and I love the idea of him being another diamond in the rough.

diamonds are cool, but it would be better if moore was a QB with budding potential and not jewelry

And I really hope this guy comes out there and proves his doubters wrong.

do you?

So do I support him with all my heart? You're GOD DAMN RIGHT I DO!

i'm gonna step out on the ledge and guess that that's a lot of support

Matt Moore fits this team and this team's history like a glove and because of that, this Sunday my heart's going to be 100% behind this guy and behind this team.

can you elaborate further whether or not you are rooting for moore i don't know if you're not being clear enough or i'm just not getting it but something's not clicking here

I'm excited! And if you are not, go screw a sheep!

now go run and tell that

PS: One more thing. We are going to win on Sunday!

we are?! wow you know EVERYTHING!

TV: "Third and 14 for Carolina on its own 16, 49ers look to be showing blitz..."

PFFL: *puts one bullet in the chamber of his pistol*

TV: "Moore drops to throw, intercepted by Willis for a touchdown! And you can hear the chorus of boos coming down here in Charlotte."

PFFL: "I can't take it anymore! *crying* I gave you everything, Matt! Stayed up until 3AM on the Huddle just to defend you! I can't keep doing this! *puts gun to head, pulls trigger*

Huddle saved.
