Fox not naming QB starter yet

LOL

“It’s just like any other position,” said Fox. “We’ll evaluate it. That’s why we practice. We’ll keep you posted.”

Fox says Moore will start next week vs. New England

Panthers coach John Fox said he expects Matt Moore to start next Sunday at New England.

”I’d say there’s a good chance of that. I don’t like to back ourselves into a corner because we haven’t had a chance to celebrate this win. But I thought he did fine today,” Fox said.

ya except he said what I posted today in his press conference and what you posted was what he said yesterday...

Same dodge as last week. Pretty certain it'll be Moore.

[Sultan33g]

I know...it just gets annoying when he cant just name a freaking starter and stick to it...instead of pulling a mangini

[Brooklyn Bully]

This is one time I think Fox SHOULDN'T tell us a damn thing. We're going against a really good team. Keep them guessing.

Fox is so clever. Fooling the Patriots into spending countless wasted hours preparing for Jake.

like Kevin Greene Said...I bet the Patriots are sooo scared about "might" having to go against mighty Delhomme!

What about Moore in all of this?

A gameplan which does not let you throw against statistically worst team i the league and then refusing to declare you openly that you will be starting despite the 18 interceptions and broken finger Jake has. Might this have a small impact on his confidence when he actually gets onto the field?

I am sure Fox has confided in his players, but saying things publicaly give people a huge boost. To know that Fox is happy declaring him the starter to the world suggests he has the utmost confidence in him. To keepit in mystery suggests he doesn't.

Patriot's game plan against Panthers:

If Matt Moore named starter - Focus on stopping the run, marginally emphasize passing defense.

If Jake Delhomme named starter - Focus on stopping the run, emphasis on proper blocking technique and ball control for the defensive backs.

Got to keep them on their toes.

Not to sound ridiculous or whatever.. but going off the last few weeks of seeing Pats games, even Jakey Delhommy could shred Pats absolutely PATHETIC secondary.

Let me translate this Fox-speak for you:

"I'll be starting Matt Moore next week, because my $20 million gamble failed after 11 games and I don't want to eat crow publicly. But I'd appreciate it if you guys just reported nothing at all. Mkay?"

Sly Fox...he's making Belichek think about using his Jump Route/Tackle Avoid perks on his DBs knowing they'd have a chance at a pick-6. If it were Moore...it'd be StuckLikeGlue/Don't Fake perks.
