Two moments that told me how much confidence the coaches had in Moore

1st half. When the Giants were going to punt the Panthers took a time out so they would have 1:31 left.

The other moment was the opening drive of the 2nd half. No way they run the same stuff with Jake the way they did with Matt.

Matt Moore is your starting qb next year. No need to worry about the draft.

Yes. I said don't worry about your draft.

Moore may start, but we still need to draft a young QB to groom.

I totally agree P. I think Matt will start, Jake will be back, along with McCown, and we pick up a project QB in the draft unless we hold out of for a golden goose of a veteran QB to pick up.

The way I see it, Moore keeps improving every game, along with the play calling based upon his ability. I think it was very limited with Jake.

We need Jake, and his veteran presence, but I don't want him starting unless and emergency arises. I'm hoping he'll be a good ole boy and restructure( uncapped year or not), just to show his allegiance to the organization. Even though I don't want him to start, I would really hate to see him just kicked to the curb. He has his value, but not as a starter anymore I hate to say.

As has been displayed by Swartz, and Bernadeau(sp on both), they have done an outstanding job to just be thrust out there with Gross, and Otah gone. That gives us depth at O-line for next year, and plenty of depth to return at D-line next year as well. I say that not knowing who is RFA/UFA/FA, etc, but if we can keep this corps together, our only need to address will be WR, and QB competition/future franchise QB..... ever how you wanna call it.

If Matt keep progressing, and we can keep what we have now, and improve in those areas.....I think we will be hard to deal with across the league.

Just to clarify.........I am not saying Moore is the answer, and I do hope we take, and attempt any chance we have at retaining a great QB of the future in case what have doesn't work out. We have ignored it for far to long.

We have 5 picks, and will be getting some supplemental picks(no more than 5th or 6th rounders I believe), and not sure yet how many of those.

Seeing as how WR and QB seem to be the most needed, we could really do something with those picks considering the depth we have on both sides of the ball.

Now I am saying this without researching who will walk UFA/FA/RFA etc as I said above......but I think we are sitting pretty good, and actually am already looking forward to next season with what we have.

God Bless The Panthers! :cheers2:

why are you guys talking about drafting another young QB to groom?

if Moore is the guy, he's the guy. You're not going to groom a 22 year old with a 25 year old.

you don't draft another rookie in case Moore doesn't pan out. You get rid of Jake and bring in someone like Mark Redman, or Chad Pennington, or Jon Kitna. Someone that's just there to collect a pay check and share wisdom.

At some point you have to poo or get off the pot with QBs here.

      I'm not a fan for a couple reasons. You have to nail your 1st 2 picks, especially when you're lacking as much talent across the board as we were and you traded away the number 1 overall pick. Barring injury, they need to be immediate 4 year starters, and on this team, that's a pretty low bar to hurdle. I also really hated the FA strategy building up to the draft, particularly the guards, and the draft strategy itself. A strategy that focused on building around a QB that was so terrible he had no business being on the field. It was clear to pretty much everyone, BY wasn't ready to be an NFL starter. We dumped everything to build around him in the hopes he would become what we drafted him to be. And while the end of the year started showing some promise, we still don't know going into year 3 if he's going to live up to the hype. Dumping all your resources to build around a single player (and hope for the best) isn't as important as building a complete team.  If there's any certainty in drafting, it's HQ interior linemen are found in rounds 2-3, and even 4 pretty regularly. Dumping a ton of FA cash into those 2 spots didn't make sense when we have so many holes. Draft guards, pay tackles. It's one of the staple principles of oline building.  XL was always a project. He didn't have years of consistent high end performance in college. His hands are bricks, he body catches a lot, and he looks more like a 4th round receiver than a 1st. Maybe he improves, maybe not. He looked extremely raw as a rookie and we can only hope he might develop by the time his rookie contract expires. I'm always a fan of drafting guys that actually have hands coming out of college. Who cares if you can get open, or fight for the ball, when you can't actually come down with it consistently.  Then we get to Brooks. Taking a RB with a torn ACL who may or may not see the field in 24/25 over Zach Frasier, who already looks the vet at a position we've been severely deficient at since pre-injury Ryan Kalil. Relying on Corbett, coming off injury, to move from guard to center is never ideal, and the injury bug bit yet again, and we were scrambling trying to find someone to lead our 200m offensive line. And the worst part, we traded up to do it giving up 2 5ths to take Brooks when we're lacking talent everywhere.  Wallace, meh. Sanders looked good before that neck injury. But now we're into day 3 where expectations aren't extremely high for making the roster, unless it's the Panthers, but you can find some position players and rotational players to start plugging the Swiss cheese roster.  I give him credit for getting Coker as an UDFA and the trade for Jackson, but if that's the highlight of your draft, there's some serious problems with your drafting.  If we had saved the FA money spent on the guards, drafted JPJ and Frazier, and still been in pretty close to the same spot, better off cash wise (or spent on other FAs) going into FA this year. Coker ended up playing better than XL in less time. Brooks is Eric Shelton 2.0 right now. And we used 5 picks in the 1st 2 rounds, if you count those included in the trades. That's too much given up for a team that won 2 games the year prior. JMO, but I think the whole offseason strategy last year was flawed from start to finish.

      Everything hinges on his ability to build through the draft so it's unknown until we see the upcoming draft class in action. That's all that will ultimately matter. We cannot afford anymore duds or projects especially in the early rounds.
