Trying not to be a Matt Moore homer...

Please don't take this post the wrong way and attack me but hear me out.

If this game proved anything yesterday it was how valuable a good backup QB is in this league. Not taking anything away from our win or our team but when David Carr came in you saw just how inept he was, if you hadn't known that from his time here. It amazes me how guys like this still have a job. Anyway, for the people who say Moore has no chance of being here next year I think this game is a reason why he SHOULD be here. He has proved that he is a good backup QB, if not a starter in this league. Be careful what you wish for or he could be gone and next year we could be one play away from having a David Carr type backup QB.

Some food for thought.

The best thing about him being a future backup is that if he does well throughout the year and manages games, you know whoever is our next QB will have to perform better, thus making our QB position much less of an AAHHHH!! situation.

I really hope he can manage around 15 TDs and keep the INTs below that number.

I do think he'll play well and be given a chance to start but if he doesn't do that then at least he has proven to be an above average backup in his years here in Carolina. No way the new coach/FO gets rid of that and tries to find a new one when the risk of finding a Carr is out there.

So true. I'd pie you if I could, RealDeal.

Even if he doesn't look great for the rest of the year, if he at least looks decent, bring him back. He's proven he can be a great backup and he has a nice arm. He's shown he can take benching well, he's mature, and poised.

Assuming no regression, he's in for next year imo, even if he doesn't play lights out... if he does, well... sky's the limit. Being realistic, though, he is fighting for his job still. Nothing is secure. I hope he handles that pressure well and stays loose.

yeah, but we're trying not to be homers here and be a little on the cautious side. I want to drink the koolaid too, and let's hope we'll all be downing the stuff by the gallon in the coming weeks, but for now, he's proven he's a great option as a backup IF NOTHING ELSE, and let's hope there is quite a bit of "else" =)

Yeah, I hear you. The way I see it though, this is still a competition between JC and MM and the best QB should win, regardless of draft status or contract.

Let's be honest...it was the 49ers

I want to see Moore play well against the Steelers, Ravens etc.

I have seen this comment a few times, and I don't agree with the implication that Moore succeeded against a bad defense. The forty niners have one of the better defenses in the league. At very least they are in the top half of the league. They are 1-6 mostly due to turnovers with 6 fumbles lost and 10 interceptions thrown. Basically, they are a lot like us.

People yell at me and call me names so I'd rather just have an honest discussion. I'm keeping my hopes high that he will be the starter here for years to come but this debate or thread wasn't supposed to be about that. It was about the value of a good backup QB. Even if the new coach brings in his own guy, I think Moore sticks around due to his ability to play in this league in some capacity. I don't think he will be let go because another team will scoop him up like that, perhaps the 49ers even. I think he is a starter in this league and will be on a roster for years to come.

      He's going way overboard. I mean, men talk this way all the time. Bryce seems like a fine young man. But he's been piss poor at his job. I wish that I could be piss poor at mine---wait, no I don't---and get paid millions.  The thing is, I've supported Bryce in the past, but he doesn't seem to be the type of QB that what I've heard Chris Canty refer to as a "force multiplier." He can't make good players great, he needs great players to make him good. He's not going to pull out a win when times get tough (at least he hasn't), but he becomes good when there is essentially nothing to play for. After trying to give Bryce the benefit of the doubt, and waiting for the light switch to stay on, I'm tired of waiting. I've seen what I need to see, and it ain't pretty. So excuse me for calling Bryce, "pussified" for not being more aggressive in his pursuit of down field plays. He appears to just not have it in him. I'm sorry, Bryce and all Bryce Stans. He's still got to go though.

      Yeah me too. We should have taken him. He was a much better bet than most of what you find that far down. He might have been 5 stars coming out of high school, I don’t know. Just that he was highly thought of. His college career didn’t get off to a great start and he ended up on a bad team with bad protection. But you could watch him and see what he had. I don’t see a way he doesn’t have a long career as a #2, at worst.
