Keep the faith with Matt Moore

[Mother Grabber]

A couple of interesting games last night. Jason Campbell and Leinart looked much improved. Campbell is now in his 5th year and finally looked like he's a quality starter. Leinart still looks a year away, showed that maybe he can be, too. This, after both have received constant criticism from the public as they've been developing. Their teams, however, have been patient and given them time. I'm not saying Moore will get there, but I think he has a great chance. We, as fans, have seen a few QBs jump right in and be successful recently, and want our guy to be able to do the same thing. Moore is still a great prospect, and this season is showing that a little time can be rewarding with these guys. The same can be said about Jackson in Minn. He's one to keep an eye on.

Jackson, not so much.

Aaron Rodgers looks set to become a superstar this year. Don't forget him.

Agreed...Rodgers is the real deal I think.

Skins haven't really been "patient" with Campbell, they have been trying to replace him and haven't gotten the deal done so they are "stuck" with him. He looked really good last night though.

I think how you handle a rookie QB depends on the team around him. For example, I think the Jets aren't a bad team, so I would start Sanchez since reports are that he has the right mindset, understanding and work ethic to date. Stafford? I don't care what that man does, I wouldn't start him. That is a horrible football team and starting him too soon could ruin him for good IMO.

This what I'm talking about. Campbell is in his 5th year...give Jackson another year, maybe two, and he may look a lot like Campbell. Rodgers developed quickly, playing well as soon as Faverah left. He fits in the category of QBs who have us a little jaded.

I agree, the Skins tried to dump Campbell, and are lucky that they couldn't.

Matt Moore for president.

its sad to say but i feel that matt will never get a chance unless jake gets hurt again..i think that even if jake throws 5 interceptions against philly in game 1 the coaching staff and management would still want to start jake the next game..its hard to explain the way they always make excuses for jake when he stinks it up..like he's the best option at QB we have etc..i actually think moore is very talented and could become a great QB but we may never know..atleast while jake is healthy..

[beastson]

He is good prospect. But first he must take that initiative and improve his game

If Moore doesn't show he can be even the #2 QB, I say he is gone after this season. Right now, he is just the #3. This is his 3rd season and I believe his contract is up. The Panthers traded for Josh McCown for a reason....because Moore was not ready to be the #2 last year, and so far this year he is still #3. He has 2 more preseason games to hopefully show he should be the #2 because I don't think McCown is the 'heir' to Jake.

Rodgers had a good 4 years to develop into a starting QB.. Totally wouldn't classify him as one of those who "left the league jaded", as you say. He would be an example of letting your future QB develop on the bench instead of throwing him to the wolves.

IMO, all back up QB's get a raw deal in these pre season games. They're always playing behind a line that hasn't had nearly as many practice reps as the 1's, plus they haven't been together very long. That's why I was glad to see Moore get some time with the 1's last week. I would like to see both McCown and Cantwell get the same opportunity, but I doubt it will happen for Cantwell.

Wrong, wrong and wrong! We took McCown because Moore broke his leg....look at you making stuff up.

The Panthers were interested in McCown for several seasons. They made the move for him when he became available because of the Favre-Pennington move. It was NOT because of the Moore injury.

Big difference in my opinion between Moore and all the other QBs discussed in this thread. They were all drafted and early. I am not saying Moore cant be the future, and I understand draft status doesnt equate to NFL success. I guess I need to see more of Moore to think he has a future like Rodgers, Cambell, Leinert, etc........

I'm still on the Moore train and I believe the staff is too. They are just being smart with it, why rush him if Jake still has a few good seasons left?
