No Worse than Jake?

[Hairless Cat]

I keep seeing people say "Matt Moore cant be any worse than Jake"

But is that true? I dont think so. Im no Jake homer- never have been. And I'd like Moore to be the superstar qb this team has never had.

But Moore could be worse. he might be much worse. If management makes the change this coming week we will see.

But dont kid yourselves. You might be wishing the change hadnt been made.

So you are saying when Matt Moore starts he can be the 33rd ranked starting QB in the NFL?

[Cat]

Jake is losing games for us. I guess Matt could play worst than Jake has but a loss is a loss.

I'm ready to get the speculation over with.

I'm saying Moore might wind up 34th.

I'm ready to try him too but lets keep our hopes for this season realistic. Delhomme has a lot of positves aside from his ints. Moore COULD be worse .

[Zod]

Delhomme has no positives. He has lost the team. He has lost the OL wanting to block for him. They all know he hurts them more than helps.

Its not 2003.

[Mesmer]

lol @ Delhomme having positives. Yeah, maybe the 1 or 2 throws that were surprisingly on target yesterday

But hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day

I have been Jake's biggest supporter and right now I'm willing to come right out and say, we need to see a change. The defense has been good, the running game has been good but Jake has been too detrimental, in the last three games now he's given away more than 5 posessions inside out 30 including some inside out 5 and touchdowns, we cannot win games with Delhomme at QB.

Do you think that Matt Moore would have thrown as many interceptions as Jake has since the Arizona game?

Think long and hard about that. It's not like Jake has a HORRIBLE O-line. He has a great running O-line and a decent protection O-line. Certainly nowhere near the worst in the league.

My opinion...let's say Fox throws in Feely...or Moore and the exact same results occur. Who does that point the finger at?

The QBs?

Or the "predictable" play designs from coordinators/coaches or manager?

If I felt it was solely predictable play designs...we wouldn't see Jake throwing absolutely HORRIBLE passes into coverages. I'm not talking tipped passes trying to squeeze it in a tiny hole. I'm talking "Rex Grossman I'm heaving this thing and hope a dude with a Panther on his helmet is near it". Give the kid a chance. Keep Jake. Let him help out Matt and be a...lol...solid backup?

Could be worse, could be better. Are you willing to watch Delhomme ruin this team any longer? I'm not. Of course until Davidson isn't calling plays then we will have the same lackluster offense.

We all wanted Weinke, and we all know how that turned out. When Moore started, I he went 2-1, the wins were against two beat up teams at the time. The lost was against the Cowboys. The thing about a rookie coming in and starting is, the other teams have no film on him, they don't know his tendencies, who he looks for when in duress, will he take off and run, or really anything about him. Usually they will win a game or two. I think that might be the case here, but if he is the starter, I hope it's not. I hope he gives us the consistent play we had with Steve.

[Jeff L]

Well... I am sick to my stomach over this loss. Jake lost this game for us; it honestly reminded me of watching my sons high school teams quarterback.

Granted QB is not our only problem but it is where we need to start. Carolina is going to have to either trade up into the first round or pick up a QB through free agency in the off season. If not, it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Did you see how empty the stadium was yesterday? If the Panthers keep playing like they are at least PSL's will be easy to come by!

I'm with you. Jake use to be a good QB and I supported him even when he would have a bad game here and there (that poo happens to every QB) but this is way more than a bad game here and there. Its benching time. I hate it for him as a person but he is hurting our team.

Jake was a better QB when everyone wanted Weinke. That was pretty stupid and it was proven so.
