Matt Moore will start Sunday's game

Hope they can get some pratice outside..

Matt Moore will start Sunday's game against the Bucs, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

This is the worst kept secret in football. Jake Delhomme is dealing with a broken middle finger on his throwing hand and may have been benched anyway, but coach John Fox was trying to maintain a "competitive advantage" by keeping his starter a secret. Moore is worth an add in two-QB leagues but we don't expect him to be much of an upgrade over Delhomme

Man, this story is actually one of the top 10 headlines on ESPN.com. Finally, a modicum of attention.

+10 for using the word "modicum"

Do you think fox will let him?

Panthers WR Muhsin Muhammad said that Matt Moore has a "knack (for) throwing the deep ball."

Moore has only made three career starts and none since 2007, so it will be interesting to see if he can jumpstart the Panthers' passing game. We doubt he'll be able to help Steve Smith and the rest of the receivers too much, but it can't get much worse.

yep.....I think he will give him a tiny more room than in 07....and he let him throw in 07. I think the real offense will come showup this week....Smitty has been beating guys for some homeruns this year.....I think we see one Sunday.

DAMN......

hahahah

Well...Moore with a knack for throwing the deep ball at least is an improvement over Jake. Jake throws pick-6s because the defender only has to run a short distance to their goalline. This might give our offense more time to tackle the interceptor....if that's what happens.

lol

I think this is a great opportunity for Matt," receiver Muhsin Muhammad said Wednesday. "Obviously, we won't do a lot of the things that Jake does well, but we'll do the things that Matt does well."

well, Moore might throw a good deep ball.....but if they continue to run this deep vertical routes to Moose it won't matter how good the throw is.....Moose can't run it and they always go to it....

I don't care so much about him completing deep passes as I do the line getting out there and busting their "ever loving" ass to protect him.

It's going to cause everyone to start with the "I told you so" bullshit if Matt is on his back all day, and can't get the job done, and all the while, Fox will once again come out smelling like rose panties.

well, the QB can bring that on himself and end it to some small degree......Jake couldn't throw the ball and teams wanted toss up balls. Plus, Moore is more mobile.....the OL hasn't been great...but Jake had a role in all of it.

The good thing about moore is that he can run.The bad thing is thats not the type of QB fox likes.lol
