Could Matt Moore still be our guy?

The forgotten man of the hour is Matt Moore. A guy that ended strong in the 09 season and then fell like a rock in 2010. My question is if we get a real OC and QB coach is it just possible we could have a starting QB there? Or should we just cut our loss with him and hope Pickles and Co can handle the load?

He'd be a great back-up. But you people HAVE to get it through your heads that he's not a franchise QB. Stop accepting mediocrity. We don't have a franchise QB right now and there is no way to get one right now unless we draft a QB in the third and luck out over time. We'll have to wait another year to try, IMO. So we may as well bring in a FA who is better than Jimmy and Matt so we can at least compete.

I hope we keep him, it's hard to judge him for how he played this year with how our line was blocking, or lack there of, if we don't go after a solid vet then I hope we roll with Moore as the starter next year. Don't forget Clausen only was starting because Moore was hurt and we had nobody better

Well we are getting a new coaching staff and we have to assume that whoever we bring in is automatically going to be better than the below average crap we had before, so why not retain him to compete for the QB spot considering he has a winning record with Jeff Davidson calling the plays on his résumé. Of course we bring someone else in but there isn't much out there that is any better.

^^Pete Carrol already said he's gong to do everything in his power to keep Hasselbeck. I'm in the Donovan McNabb camp personally. I wouldn't mind giving Matt Moore a chance to come back but I highly doubt he'll out perform a FA and if he does then great.

Only concern is do we know that there is going to be some awesome QB prospect in next years draft. I'm really in the mindset that we're not going to have the #1 pick so Luck in my mind is not going to be a Panther so is holding out for some nameless faceless college standout really the answer?

Competition only makes good players better.

Bring him back, and let him compete.

I think people are scared of having a qb better than clausen, that isn't a household name.

I think people are scared to try something new. Instead they want to hold onto the handful of games he won for us. If we can do better than Moore...we need to do so. Guess what? We can.

Need an OC and a QB Coach first though...then the CBA, before anything happens.

I think he should get 1 more legit shot with us. Rivera has obviously watched the tape, he knows he's better than Clausen and he knows there's not a lot of options in FA.

Problem with this is

1. He was better but he also was playing in a system he had played in for 4 years. While Jimmy had only been in it for what? A few months. So yeah he would look better.

2. He crap on himself and admitted it. The pressure of being a starting QB got 2 him. The new coaching staff will see that in tapes and interviews as well.

3. I think he not only let down himself but he also may have ruin any faith JR had in him. When JR was talking about bad QB play he wasn't only talking about Jimmy. Matt had a big part in that 2.

I feel JR put alot of faith for this season in Matt building on what he did at the end of last season he didn't.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030

      a look at our 19 udfas

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.
