Fox willing to bench Jake

[stankowalski]

I honestly don't believe we have any good QB's on the team. But I haven't seen enough of Moore to totally dismiss him. As others have said, Jake has already cost us games with his turnovers...the only way Moore could be worse is if he would take the snap, run directly backwards to the opposite endzone, and curl up in the fetal position. And even then, that's not much worse than Jake is already doing.

Moore isn't going to light things up. He won't turn it over at the rate Jake does....which will make the team better.

I agree with you here. But I think Feeley gets his shot first.

Moore has had plenty of chance to move himself into the #2 spot since 2007. He couldn't make headway against a marginal Josh McCown.

The guy so far is Brett Basanez Part 2.

I really think Fox will go with Feeley because he has more gametime experience and that will make him feel it's the right call that gives us our best chance to win.

Again, if Moore DOES get the nod at some point and tears it up, I'll happily come back and eat crow. I'd LOVE to be wrong.

but again, you can look at 07....he was the best QB on the roster and proved it in games....Fox advised the vets deserved to be higher on the depth chart.

what makes you think there is anything different going on?

He needs to bench Davidson too. Jake wasn't the one calling 44 passing plays...

But Jake threw the ball too the defence.

I agree with you....Feely jumps Moore this week on the depth chart even if Fox starts Jake. Fox is gonna make the first move to Feely...which will be pointless and simply delaying what needs to happen.

again, I am however not advocating Moore is gonna light it up or be the future.

[Mother Grabber]

Fox is clearly not willing to bench Jake, or he would have done it by now. This is political spin BS.

You have absolutely no way of knowing this. Hell, he has 122 attempts passing the ball and has 6 INTs. Thats a pretty poor ratio.

I don't think Moore has shown to be the best QB on the roster right now. I believe Fox thinks the same thing by bringing Feeley in. I think Moore hasn't shown the coaching staff much if he continues to wallow at #3 on the depth chart even after 07.

I do agree the Moore doesn't have to do much to be a better option than Delhomme at this point.

That's pretty much what I was getting at too, I guess. Some people just need to temper their expectations for Moore a little. And no one should be shocked or surprised by Fox staying conservative and putting Feeley out there first.

I'm all for playing either at this point, what the Hell could it hurt?

[Brooklyn Bully]

Fox, learn from Lovie Smith. A few years ago, week after week, all you heard was, "Rex Grossman IS our QB". And where is he now, Fox? A backup for the Texans. And where is the QB who Lovie Smith didn't know how to use right? Kicking ass in Denver. Not that I think Moore is Orton...but damn..."Jake Delhomme IS our QB". Really, Fox?

[mav1234]

Having seen a few of Moore's games a couple years ago, I always felt like he did have potential. At the time, I was glad he was a backup because I was looking forward to Jake's return.

If Moore works with the starters, I think he can be a solid QB.

[Mother Grabber]

What we do know is that the status quo is not working. Moore may not be any better, but to continue to beat your head against a wall when you know it hurts is just plain stupid. We have nothing to lose by trying Moore, as we're clearly not making the playoffs with what we have.

there would be no way for Moore to shown he is the best....Jake takes the snaps each week with the starters. Therefore, Jake looked to bet he best...and it was his job w/o question after last season. Early on however, he proved the AZ game ended his career....other option should have begun to get some reps w/ starters in practice..that is the only what to show coaches where you really belong on the depth chart......but they have to give you a chance.

Fox just doesn't trust young talent overall...yes, there are rare exceptions.

He doesn't give them much of a chance to prove anything. Look at Jarrett, in VERY rare snaps in actual games the past two seasons...he shows enough to leave you wondering why Fox doesn't actually let him prove if he is a bust or not.

[Tank]

You mean Fox wasn't punching buttons on his headset and was able to watch those throws like that? Hmm. I am shocked.
