Competition at Backup QB

sounds like it.

“There are still some unknowns about both those guys,” Panther coach John Fox said. “They are two gifted players – they've got all the tools. But the preseason will be real important to both of them. Right now Josh is No.2 and Matt is No.3, but our whole football team is an open competition.”

it's what has been said all along.

mccown is the back up

moore is the future.

nothing will change in the depth, imo. mccown's game experience is too valuable. he gives us the best chance to win in the short term and i think that the rest of the team has the same feeling and confidence in mccown that gross does.

moore is the project. from all appearances he is the one they would like down the road. mccown is the best back up that you could have for this team but not necessarily the best QB for the future.

I agree. So many people were blinded by the few games that Moore played in '07. McCown still has more game experience and after the way Moore played in last years pre-season, he should be the #3.

meh...i'm not going to hold a preseason game against him. he should be #3 just because the guy that is in front of him is more game ready and he has the support of the team.

It's amazing that this is the first time in his career that McCown will have the same OC for two years in a row. There is no telling how much further along he would be right now, if he could have hooked up with the right team early on. He has all the tools to be a good starter, IMO.

By the time Matt Moore becomes the future he will be old and we will be looking for his replacement

What age do you want your starting QB to be?

I would prefer a new franchise QB to be under the age of 30.

Matt Moore may not start until he Jakes age!

And you know this how? Remember, it took Romo 4 years before he started his first game, so it's foolish to count a guy out just because he had a rough pre season.

I don't give a hot piss who it is, as long as we NEVER have to witness another performance from our QB, such as we saw in our season ending game last year.

I mean I know sh1t happens...but that is tuff for any fan to have to witness all over again.

I wouldn't discount Hunter Cantwell in all this talk. I know he's our requisite undrafted free agent rookie, but he has a laser for an arm to go with an ideal build for the position. With a better senior year, he's a Top 3 round pick.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
