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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By frankw · Posted

      Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.

      Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.

      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
