Jake will start next week....

After what I saw from Moore today, It's a draw between the two. If Jake does start, I hope he is on a very short leash.

Jake's simply lost the ability to make a lot of the throws an NFL QB has to make... Moore is still raw, but he can make those throws... but there's no telling what Fox will do, he is a stubborn bastard.

Really, a draw? The gameplan never gave Moore a chance to do anything but manage the game. Other than the one pick, he did a pretty good job of it. How many times have we seen Delhomme miss that long ball to Smith this year?

Exactly. Jake misses too many of the routine throws now. That might have been the difference in a low scoring game like today.

Yep... Jake still has the experience and the ability to read the defenses, etc. but he's no longer able to pyhsically make those throws now, and ends up forcing the ball into where he shouldn't... and other times he either way under, or more often way over throws the receivers... it's sad to watch actually.

Yeah, a draw. So the play calling holds Moore back but lets Jake loose? Moore is not the answer except for the rest of the season. But I didn't see any thing that says he is any better than Jake ever was.

Moore is my second favorite player now behind Smitty

I don't care if Moore is better than Jake ever was, he is definitely better than Jake is now. That long pass to Smith is a pass that Jake has consistently missed on all year. Moore laid it out in a good position for Smith to go get and not have to slow down much.

Moore definitely made some mistakes, and was fortunate to not get picked off more than he did. But he made a play with the game on the line, and thats what we need, and what we haven't had much of this year.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Jake start. With the way New England has been playing, Fox may think (after sitting down for a game) that Jake will finally rehabilitate himself against his Superbowl nemesis. I'm not saying it's logical. But Fox has been on a mission all year to resurrect Delhomme. He has said so repeatedly. I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just trying to understand Zod's reasoning.

[Oldschool Leroy]

Moore starts and if things don't go well, Jake gets the ball back. The game is on the road and Fox does not have to deal with the boos of the fans.

Moore needs to start so they can see if he has the "it" a QB needs to win in this league. These last 4 games against these opponents will say a lot.

[beastson]

Umm doesnt Jake have a broken finger on his throwing hand. He cant play QB with that injury and be efficient, as if he was going to be that anyway

Its only going to be week 2 next Sunday
