Sorenson a Moore hater

[jasonluckydog]

Matt Moore could throw for 400 yards and 3 TDs a game for the next two games and I wouldn't care...I would still want to draft a QB. It creates competition and forces a QB to be at his best.

If the Eagles and the Packers can draft a QB when they have Donovan McNabb and Brett Favre, then so can we when we have Matt Moore.

If we don't draft a QB with our first pick this year then there is something seriously wrong with this franchise.

Favre was contemplating retiring and Don was either real hot or real cold so that's why they drafted a QB.

Moore moves his feet so he can take off if he needs to. We're just used to the statue.

Correction: Tom likes flamboyant men who wear mink. Isn't that better? I think so.

And Tom, you know what has an even nicer sound? Super-Douche Sorenson. Pretty accurate. Attacking your readers: always classy.

If Moore throws 400 yards and 3 TDs in both of the next two games and we do draft a QB (and not a WR or something...) with our first pick in the 2nd round, I'm going to murder someone, unless a REALLY good QB falls into the 2nd (which I don't expect). Draft a QB? Yes, but let's not just take one as high as possible no matter what. Get value for the pick. Bring in competition for Moore no matter how he does, but that competition should come from a youngster and also a veteran (preferably someone in addition to Jake if he's back).

About the article in specific... The article read to me like a ridiculous attack. Add to that the fact he thought Moore's first game was in New England and I had to wonder if he even watched any of the games he's played... especially since Moore wasn't terrible in that game, he just wasn't good enough.

Just didn't like the writing. I don't yet believe Moore is The Answer. But at least now we know he's worth The Discussion.

Actually he captures the reality for Panther fans right now. Moore has been less than stellar in 10 out of the 12 quarters he has played this year. But because he is not Jake and people hate Jake right now, they so badly want a starter who can play quarterback. And he is better than Jake right now, and he is the beloved backup and people love him.

In alot of ways for me Moore and Jake are similar. Both have questionable mechanics and at times can look very bad. But they possess another factor which should rank high on anyone's list. They have both won more games than they have lost. So far Moore has put together a fantastic fourth quarter and brought us back to win. Something Jake did routinely. If Moore can do that on a regular basis then I don't care what his mechanics are or about any other flaws. He will have passed my test which is simply win the game no matter whether it is with the pass or run. Of course he has to be able to throw it deep to Smith but he has passed that test already. Lets be honest, half the reason any of us watch the Panthers is to see Smith go deep and make a great acrobatic leap or take a short one in space and stretch it into a long gain with his running ability. One of the biggest transgressions Jake has made is fail to throw the deep ball to Smith this year. We can put up with alot, but Smitty has to get his yards and catches. If you can't do that, we have to replace you in a hurry. He has always had issues with picks, but people really grew tired of him when he couldn't find smitty and threw too many picks trying to do it.

Moore is really in a good situation. He is not expected to carry the team on his back, simply be effective, not turn over the ball, and hopefully make some big throws to Smith and win in the second half. And he could possibly do that. He recognized what doomed Jake and is not going to make the same mistake. And as long as he is better than Jake he will get a pass on everything else.

I think he has done enough to start in New York and I am looking forward to seeing him play again. I would love him to be even better in New York, maybe come out hot instead of cold and jittery. Still, there are going to be detractors, but in the end, the bottom line is wins and losses. As long as we win, it doesn't matter how we did it. As least not to me and I bet not to alot of fans.

You reminded me of a good point... The biggest difference between Jake and Matt now is that Jake proved that we could no longer win games if it was put on his shoulders. We couldn't win games when we were forced to pass with Jake in there this year.

Up through about the time Jake had surgery, maybe only Brady or Manning I would want in there in the last 2 mins, b/c I trusted Jake to win the game with his arm in the 4th quarter. He couldn't do it anymore this year. That "it" factor was gone.

Matt's got that now. He may not look very good early on, but he gets settled down and he has "it." I trust Moore to win games if we have to throw it (once he's settled down).

Sorenson is an awful writer but the column is not off base. Moore has shown a ton of promise, but going into next season with no QB competition would mean we have completely failed the lessons of seasons past.
