Moore compared to Brady's early career.

[Gscottnc5]

Explain why not?

Brady was a 7th rd draft pick who stepped in for Bledsoe, played well and never looked back. And after the first 4 games they almost have identical stats. Plus Moore went against a top 2 defense in the Vikings and then played well in a hostile environment in New York

So you CAN make the correlation between the two. If he puts the time in and really works at what he has accomplished, he will only get better

i love that we are not using 2007 stats, his actual 1st playing time to start. cherry picking in this thread people?

Ok MR CH"I'm not so"Bright

2007 Matt moore

2-1 as a starter

3 TD's

2 Int's

Completion pct 56.8%

QB rating of 86.133%

2009 Matt Moore

3-1 as a starter

7 TD's

2 INt's

Completion pct of 61.7%

QB rating of 104.525

So his avg between his starts in 2007 and 2009 are

5-2 as a starter

10 TD's

4 int's

Completion pct of 63%

QB rating of 95.329

Cherry pick that!!!!! You should have researched this BEFORE you made a poor statement like that

Dude, Matt Moore is BETTER than Tom Brady and I'm not even joking.

Yes you are -- you just don't realize it.

[Delhommey]

If Moore looks good against a good NO secondary sans Smitty, I will crown him future King of Carolina.

As it is I think he should be the starter with some young talent behind him. That talent may very well be Cantwell.

lol you made my point then, someone finally decided not not use just the 4 games of 2009 (gasp!). and how is it a poor statement as until your post everyone swept the previous 3 games under the rug for matt and said they were the 1st 4 starts of matts career. guess what you proved they were not his 1st 4. aka everyone here was either A not doing research or B ignored the 2007 campain and focused on just this year.

i remembered 07 thats why i brought up the cherry picking from just this year lol.

btw the numbers in the 1st 4 starts:

3tds 3ints compared to 5/0 for lord tom. not the same picture is it.

this year, he is more like matt schaub in 2007 after getting some time to learn. both had great starts (schaub more developement time though, and better yards and comp %, not Ws or tds), then again schaub was more the focus of the offense in houston than moore is here. and then there is the oline factor.

oh and i have liked what moore has done, but this is a hastey comparision to possibly the greatest qb of all time. atleast a top 5 qb. matt hasnt proven jack to be on brady's level. could he, i hope so, but the conclusions after 4 games this year or 7 total is a bit, outlandish and hopefull.

I thought we had pretty well covered all of this already.

The OP is just pointing out the similarities between two quarterbacks who were drafted late (or, in Moore's case, undrafted). Let's hope Moore has half the success Brady's had.

When you add his first 3 game starting stint, his numbers are still outstanding. I don't get your logic:confused:

some have been crowning him better which is funny, or close, again funny. cant argue he has been succesfull this year. really cant argue that the running game has been stellar in the Ws, and the D has forced turnovers out the wazzo to help him at ton. the playcalling has been nice too, lot of play action off the strong running game. that said he has done what has asked of him, which is better than what we had earlier.

i would love if he turned into a less fragile matt schaub. if schaub had a competent defense and a running game like we have here (he had a good one last year, but injured like always), he could take a team to a SB and win it. if moore can do that. moore would need a #2 and #3 wr worth a damn, and AJ helps schaub a ton (then again we do have smitty).

Why is this even a discussion this year? Jake is on IR and Moore is starting and will finish the year.

Next year is so up in the air with the potential for a new coach, new philosophy, etc. that until all that shakes out we don't know who will be on the team let alone who will start.

If Fox is here then I expect that both Jake and Moore will be here at least through the preseason along with one or two other guys including potentially a draft pick. If Fox is not here then it depends who is. For example if Gruden is here we will have 6 or 7 quarterbacks going into the pre-season. If Cowher is here maybe 3 or 4.

As for who starts, lets see how they play when the time comes. Right now Moore is the best of the lot and deserves to start. Next year is a different situation. For those who have railed at Fox picking Jake before the season starts as unfair, you are doing the same thing advocating for Moore in December 2009 for September of 2010. Lets see how they all do and pick a starter when it is appropriate. As I remember in 2008, Moore didn't even make through preseason. This year McCown got hurt early. Who knows next year.

[rayzor]

thats not sounding very optimistic.....

[PantherDude]

As good as Moore is playing right now, he will never be as good as Brady. Moore is better than Carr & Jake of this season though.

[beastson]

It's way too premature to compare Brady and Moore in any meaningful way. Still, Moore is showing what he can do and I'm confused why a lot of stats & news sites keep saying that Delhomme is the presumed starter next season... If Delhomme starts and there is no QB competition, fans are going to riot. =|

Moore was compared to Brady coming out of the draft. Either that or when he was in Dallas. Its somewhere around here

Okay, yeah, you can look at their first four games and go, "Oh look, they both went 3-1 and had a couple of decent performances!" ... but that does NOT extrapolate to Moore being one of the top 5 QBs EASILY in the league. Brady didn't come in, go 3-1, and get crowned King of New England, have his superbowl rings donated to him and get free jet flights to Hawaii based solely on that record.

If Moore leads us to the Superbowl next season(edit: Or has one hell of a season, stat wise, regardless of result...), sure. I'll buy the comparison. Until then, bet happy we appear to have a legitimate QB but be cautious with comparing him to future HoFers. If he has half the career Brady has had, we'll be very lucky.

He was compared to Romo & Brady, in large part due to the fact he was not drafted high at all, but had a TON of potential. He has a good skillset, similar to Brady's. He COULD do that well, but I am an eternal pessimist and afraid I'll Jinx the guy if I even mention him in the same sentence as one of the other elites. >.<

I am optimistic about next year. Moore is playing well and gives us essentially 2 quarterbacks with starting experience and a winning record. If Moore will do half the work Brady reportedly does in dissecting defenses, he has the chance to be pretty good. He has the physical skills and needs to work on the mental part of the game. I am optimistic that he will rise to the challenge. It is probably something Jake can help him with in the offeseason.

[Snake]

Moore is gonna be a star if we let him. Fox is not crazy and knows this too. Delhomme will not be any better next year then he was this year so he will def be the back up.
