interesting

you don't say...

sweet

does it?

ingenious

it's totally tubular that you think that

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

i know, right? (kicks dirt)

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.

how?

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

you are the first person to realize this

neato!

as in olden days, happy golden days of yore

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

they don't?!

que lastima

i know, right? f**king 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

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

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

*shrugs*

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

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

do you?

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

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

now go run and tell that

we are?! wow you know EVERYTHING!

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!

I haven honestly never met someone so biased in their views of a quarterback.

Moore throws lots of picks? He's taking chances.

Moore doesn't score points? He's passed over but still really good.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Moore has a brand new receiver corp to work with and is playing a team with the worst record the Panthers have faced this season. If they win tomorrow please don't start acting like Moore is a franchise quarterback and the Panthers are on their way to the playoffs. There isn't a good chance of a coach building a team around him because winning when it doesn't count is not the goal of most head coaches.I really hope Moore does well for the sake of the team just trying to be real about the situation.

PFFL, IMHO, you're going off the deep end a little bit, buddy. But, I appreciate the sentiment. The thing is, though, this is ultimately about football. It's about the team. If you want me to get all caught up in personalities, then you need to win football games. Good stories, long shots, and underdogs are on every team. If Moore wants respect and staying power on this franchise, he's going to have to do great things on the field. The days of mediocrity will soon be behind the Panthers, and the only way that Moore is going to fit, is to win.

just have one question for pffl, which player are you going to have a man crush on after Moore packs his bags after the season, better yet what are you going to do in a couple weeks when clausen comes back when we are 1-7 or 2-6 or i hate this 0-8.
