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.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.

      it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
