Moore wants to stay a Panther

It's been a season filled with uncertainty for Panthers quarterback Matt Moore, and it could be an offseason of uncertainty as well.

One thing, however, is for certain: Moore would like to be a Panther next season.

"Absolutely. There's no doubt about that," Moore said. "That would be the No. 1 goal.

"If it's up to me, I'd be here. This is my home now. The people here have been great to me football-wise. In this building, everything has been great. I've had good experiences here."

Moore, who is eligible to become a free agent after the season, made his first public comments Wednesday since season-ending shoulder surgery nearly a month ago. Moore said he's recovering slowly but steadily from the torn labrum in his right shoulder that he suffered Nov. 7 against New Orleans.

"I feel great," Moore said, adding that he hopes to be able to start throwing in March. "My range of motion is good. We're just working slowly on getting some strength back. I'm taking it slow, day by day, but it's getting better."

Moore opened the season as the Panthers' starting quarterback but struggled, getting intercepted three times in the end zone in a season-opening loss at the New York Giants.

His struggles continued the next week, prompting the Panthers to turn to rookie Jimmy Clausen as their Week 3 starter. Clausen started the next three games before head coach John Fox turned back to Moore, who responded to the second chance by leading Carolina to its lone victory, 23-20 over the San Francisco 49ers.

Wow, talk about toting the company line. I like the guy, so don't get me wrong, but when exactly have they been great to you? When the coaches benched you in favor of a craptastic rookie? Or when the fans who are clueless booed you, Matt?

At this point, bring him back for at least TC, let him, Luck, Vet, and Pickles battle it out, and see who wins. Nothing wrong with that.

Moore has played before this season. He had 2 bad games and we gave up on him. Matt Cassell had 2 bad games to start the season and look how his season has been like. Honestly I blame John Fox for being too stubborn to give Moore another chance. I mean seriously two bad games and we bench him for a horrible rookie, just another reason for Fox to be fired.

I also think Matt Moore is good enough to win us games. We could pass on Luck and get a much needed DT to help the defense.

I kinda hope Moore does come back, to be honest. Even though I did want Clausen to play(and I was wrong about Clausen, painfully so), I like Moore a lot, but...

I just don't know if I see it. It may be better for his career to go some place new, too. I mean, either way, he is unlikely to be a long term starter here with us either going to end up with Luck or end up with Clausen playing well enough to keep us from Luck (LOL like THAT will happen)

    • I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy. 
    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
