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.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
