so the huddlers cant make excuses for Cam but you can for Moore?

just saying

Observations are different than excuses.

Moore gets his fair share of blame. He threw behind the guy on 3rd and 7 with a chance to get a first down and seal the Cowboys game, he missed him, on him.

Brandon Marshall running out of bounds with no one around him and an easy path to the endzone is not an excuse, it's an observation.

Revis trying to face fug marshall on that route is not an excuse, it's an observation.

Marshall getting hit a full second before the ball gets there on 3rd down is not an excuse, it's an observation.

Moore does not need excuses made for him, he accepts responsibility and finds ways to overcome.

I think it's funny that QBs keep turning down a chance to start with the Dolphins... It's like people think the team is toxic. However, I believe in a couple of years Matt Moore could develop into a very effective QB for them. He has moments where he shines... and he isn't scared to put the ball up. He just needs to be a little more consistent... kinda like Delhomme, eh? :P

Only one person turned it down and it was because he was offered the backup job.

Nope, Garrad blatantly turned them down. I remember reading about it 'cause I was wondering WTF he was thinking. He wasn't exactly in a position to choose which team he went to and I was having severe problem comprehending why he wasn't accepting work and trying to earn a role somewhere. His Agent said "just wasn't the right opportunity" they were looking for... They "didn't offer him what he thought he was worth."

I can see why Delhomme would want to turn them down if he thinks he can start elsewhere... but still... paycheck's a paycheck... especially if all you gotta do is hold a dang clipboard for a quick mil. lol

Lot of what agents tell the media isn't the full story. From what I recall, they both wanted starter money and a guarantee for the year that the Dolphins weren't willing to give because they wanted them as backups. Why do you think they quickly moved on to Sage Rosenfels?

It's better for those guys (Gerrard, Delhomme) to say THEY weren't interested and "it wasn't the right situation" than to say they are just holding out for a starting gig.

But don't believe me.

I just don't see them starting any of their backups over Garrard. I mean as much as I love Matt Moore, I think if they sign Garrard he becomes the guy for the rest of the season...

Moore has just NOW become SOMEWHAT of a viable starter for them...

While neither is a future hall of fame member, imo Moore has looked pretty good these last few weeks. As good or better than Garrard ever has.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Rumors are the team is in fact done with Ikem. So it was going to be a LT, just depended on which one got to them at 19.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I have not read the entire thread, and I realize this is fluff to a degree, but it was recorded in real time.  Here are 10 things that stood out to me: 1. Morgan wrote down (before day 3) the first three day 3 picks.  (Lee, Hecht, and Wheatley).  I was never fond of the Morgan hiring as GM.  I thought he was a lazy selection and I questioned his ability to match wits with some of the best GMs in the NFL.  Not any more. Morgan OWNED this draft.  He knew which players were good fits and when they would be bargains, and he got bargains.  I am thoroughly excited about every player. 2. Canales said (about Hecht, a 5th rounder):  "He has a real chance to start."   Morgan said the same thing about Freeling. While I do not expect either to start day 1, it looks to me like we drafted 40% of our starting OL in 2026.  I think we will sign Ickey to a deal and play him at RG, allowing us to escape the Robert Hunt contract in 2027.  Of course that is conditional, and Ickey could replace Moton instead, but if he fully recovers, we are looking at a better RG/RT than he was a LT--which was average.  3. When Morgan said to second-round DT Hunter, "Ready to play beside Derrick Brown?"  Based on personalities, one calm and soft spoken (for the Most part, Brown is) and the other talkative and openly enthusiastic, it reminded me of Brentson Buckner and Kris Jenkins.   4.  Perhaps the steal of the draft was Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell II.  Clearly the Panthers felt that they passed on him when they took Hunter in round 2.  They mentioned his skill set (able to attack on "all three levels.")  This sent me back to watching film. He has speed, hands, and he produced without a great QB. I think he could be great in the NFL.  When  5. Tepper was a bit more involved than I would like, but he seems to be very confident in Morgan.  If I were the owner, I would be doing the same thing.  Canales was also somewhat of a background character--everyone understood his role and stayed in his lane.   6.  I am also very interested in the quantitative analytics aspect of the draft room.  (something like, "He has a 94% chance of being there at pick 55, and a 38% chance of being there at 87). I would like to know their formula, because it seemed to be spot on. 7.  BPA?  Not really.  They had a shopping list and seemed to be targeting the players they selected. I realize other players were edited out, but I was impressed how they knew, by round, who they wanted and if there were multiple options sitting there, they traded back. 8.  Evero (I think) called Lee a candidate that would serve as the "#3 CB."  Morgan describes his size as a plus (Long). Strong praise for a 4th rounder.  If so, we have Thornton coming off injury who played well as an UDFA rookie and they will battle it out to become Jackson's replacement after the 2026 season, assuming the Panthers do not extend him (he turns 30 in 7 months.O 9.  I think we could realistically see every one of these draft picks play this season, and I believe most could start by next year--Realistically, Freeling, Hunter, Hecht, and Brazzell could all be starting or key rotational pieces this year.  I see Lee and Wheatley getting special teams reps and both could be used this season more than expected.   10.  Kuwatch seemed to be predetermined with the final pick, probably because he can add something special to special teams.   He and Bam Martin Scott will fight it out for the 4th ILB position, so it will probably come down to special teams--and Kuwatch stands out there.  Imagine an ILB with a 46.5 vertical (not a typo) on the FG block team.  Kuwatch has an 8.85 RAS score vs. Martin-Scott's 7.5.

      They did mention Bain as the pick if he fell but didnt seem confident that would be the case.
