Could Matt Moore still be our guy?

I think the folks that support Moore look at his total body of work.

game by game.

More good than bad.

I think he is an ideal backup QB. There ain't nothing but future backups that were on the roster last year. Might as well keep the one decent one.

Exactly... when you look at his body of work it tells you he can't handle the pressure of being "the guy".

I can see an argument for keeping him around as a backup since he's shown he can do a decent job of filling in, but I would always be looking to upgrade to a backup who can also handle the pressure of being "the guy" when needed.

I have one. His vision seemed to go down when he came to Carolina. His Rookie season and even into the last part of 08 he seemed to find the open man and scan the field well. For some reason in 2010 he seemed to just hurl it to Smith without noticing that there were double teams all over him. Then turn around and miss Smith wide open. That could have been because the rest of the WRs were rookies, Pressure, or it could have been because of our last QB coach(I dont know his name nor want to). Still he regressed in that area.

This whole post makes you look like you don't have a clue about anything you are talking about.

He was always in Carolina, unless you are comparing him to his days in Dallas during the preseason where didn't get that much PT.

He didn't play a down in 2008.

He threw to a lot of different receivers and I don't remember any of his interceptions that were a result of forced balls to Smith. Those balls where he "Missed an open Smith" were completed elsewhere so the coverage likely went away once the ball was thrown. The only game that happened was SF and LaFell and Gettis both had big games.

Using such a small sample size of being the guy, roughly 4 games (1 Good, 2 Bad, 1 Okay) I don't think it's fair to say he can't handle the pressure, especially considering the support he got.

If he had a run game like Jimmy's towards the end of the season, it's fair to say he would have looked better.

lol, no it doesn't.

he was benched during week 2 (with a concussion mixed into all that). Fox's management prevented us from every really finding out who Moore really is.

I think he is just a good backup QB. Not sure Clausen will ever reach that.

He choked in the opener, those endzone interceptions were ridiculous.

Amazing that TRD is the only one here that can see how elite Moore is.

I never said he was elite and I'm clearly not the only one who thinks he's better than you give him credit for.

You're being very childish and it's sad.

Again, I'm still waiting for all of those mental errors you were telling me about in the SF game...

I believe they were redzone interceptions not endzone but we get your point.

He had a bad game for whatever reason, but to assume that he is incapable of playing QB in the NFL because of one game is silly, especially considering how well he had played up to that point.

No one is saying he's the GOAT, were just saying that those who think he sucks focus too much on one or two games and base their whole opinion of him around that and others look at his whole career.

To draw conclusions that he "can't handle the pressure" because of one opening day start is unfair at best.

A few people agreed with Charles Manson 2. Doesn't mean he was right.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
