Dan Morgan on Matt Moore

[Cyberjag]

Alright, I'll take it a step further............

If this is "well informed people" in the organization, or around it....then WHY O WHY....have we not addressed the QB situation, and went for fricking Feeley, and Garcia is still out there? Why have we not addressed the QB situation at all then if that is the case?

If you are that well informed, then something stinks with not doing anything to change it.

Inquiry minds wanna know...and I'm one of them.

Garcia is a system quarterback. He's good in that system, but he sucks outside it. If we ran the WCO then he would be the first choice, I'm sure. But we don't, and there's a reason that 31 other teams around the league have passed on him.

And we went for Feeley when McCown went down because for whatever reason (Maybe Moore doesn't know the playbook?) they didn't feel comfortable with Moore as their only backup. The sad part is, McCown is healthy now and had they trusted Moore then they wouldn't have stuck him on IR so they could sign a real backup.

And who would they get at QB? Is there some free agent out there who's any better?

Granted, it's all conjecture. Morgan knows the guys in the locker room, and he's repeating what they're saying I'm sure. I doubt anyone would go on record and say such a thing about their teammate, but you have to wonder why they all believe Jake is the best option to win even after the past few games. This would explain a lot.

I don't know of any skill player on any other team that is said to not know their teams playbook. The panthers however now are rumored to have 2 players (Jarrett and Moore), perhaps there is a playbook problem with the panthers if that wasn't already obvious.

That wouldn't surprise me a bit. Trgovac had one of the most complex defensive playbooks in the league. Maybe that sort of thing impresses Fox.

See how it works?

Sucks but it remains just as true as your original statement.

Do you need it spelled out? I can go dig up Garcia's stats from his WCO days in SF, his last season there when a new system was installed, his time in Detroit and Cleveland, then his resurgence in the WCO in Philly and then Tampa Bay. Do you think I'm making it up?

Garcia plays great in the west coast offense, and he always has. He's always played terrible in vertical attacks. Guess which one we run?

I will readily admit, however, that Garcia would not be any worse than Jake has been.

[Jangler]

Didn't we basically run the WCO this past weekend?

Word!

[Mesmer]

I said it's just as true as your original statement. I agree with you.

Garcia is a system QB. However, he's the same kind of QB as Feeley. While not as mobile, Feeley is a system QB too. He's never had success outside of a WCO where they never ask him to throw anything over 5 yards.

I just don't see how you can say "Garcia is a system QB" for the reason why he wouldn't be a good option here, and then think Feeley would do any better. Again, not saying you but using it more in a general sense.

And instead of making a thread of this, I'll just bring it up here. What does it say about Moore if Feeley comes in/starts before him? What does it say about Fox? If you never believed in the guy's ability to play in this kind of situation, why even keep him on the team? Why waste the roster spot. Seems silly.

We passed 45 dink and dunks this last game. Throw deep...yeah....we are surely know for that. There is also a reason 31 other teams wouldn't line up to get Jake either.

The fact remains the same, whatever name you wanna name, we haven't tried, we haven't done "JAKE poo" to improve at the QB position.

Anything is better than what we have now...and YES....final answer!

[2jakefansinva]

This can't be true. MM cost us nothing (so nothing is lost by cutting him) and you don't keep someone around for 3 yrs that can't learn the playbook. Do you?

[Zaximus]

I would start Feeley ONLY if we had a chance at playoffs this year. We really don't, we are not mathmatically out of it, but you have to be real. At this point I don't see the positive of starting a career backup and getting him experience.

I take what Dan says with a grain of salt. He has to give good information to keep getting on the show to promote his restaurant, so it is really hard to tell. He probably forgot it was 2009 and was thinking about Weinkie.

Start Moore, and see how he does. He may be one of those guys that is better in real games than practice/pre-season. Let's see how he does behind our starting oline with our starting RB's. Let's see how he does with Smith and Moose and our TE's. We need to know what we have, because one thing we DO know is that Jake is done.

[scpanther22]

it wont matter anyway fox and davidson will have him on a short leash 2 runs and throw only on 3rd downs lol.

[Sam Mills Fan]

I honestly don't believe this. Either the TC heard wrong (or is lying) or Dan Morgan is being taken out of context or was fed some bad information. If Feely has a better grasp of the playbook after a month and a half than Moore does, Moore has no business being on this team. And since they've kept him around for a few years, I'm caling bullshit on this whole thing.

[Pantherman]

I think fox and the panthers paid Morgan to say that about Matt Moore on the radio. Moore knows the playbook and has been with the team for 3 years now. If Moore didn't know the playbook hardly then he would not be playing with the panthers right now. This total BS nonsense from morgan who is retired and just want to stick up for his old teammate Jake so Jake can remain starter. I can not see AJ starting over Moore come sunday if Jake gets bench this week.

[Dpantherman]

Dan Morgan probably can't remember what he had for breakfast, who cares what he thinks. If Matt Moore would have started earlier in 2007 we might have had a shot to get into the playoffs. and why didn't he start? fox believed in his vets- 44 year old Vinny Testurdverde and David Carr. just like Fox didn't believe in DeAngelo Williams so he went with Foster and drafted Johnathan Stewart to replace him.

Before we go any further...no one was operating a microwave in the same room as Dan Morgan during this interview were they?
