What Matt Moore does not do well....

I love Matt Moore as our new starting QB, but there is one thing I feel like he really needs to work on and that is selling the Play Action Fake.

Jake Delhomme (and any other quarterback for that matter) has the same motion for PA or normal run. They start of exactly the same and it's impossible to tell if its PA or not. But Matt looks completely different when he actually handing the ball off as opposed to faking it.

Sooner or later defenses will pick up on this..

Good thing he is a young QB and will have many starts next season to work on this :)

Well compared to Jake who's entire career has been PA fakes he's going to look a little worse but that should be fixed by more reps.

I'm more worried about his arm strength, at first he was so poor that he couldn't throw a long ball accuarately. Now he's gotten better but still it's just barely enough. I'd like for him to have a little wiggle room because we live and die on those passes. At least until we get another legit WR.

I will take on target rainbows over over thrown cannon fires to DB's all day. As long as he gives the receiver a chance at catching the ball (something jake hasn't been doing) I'm fine with it.

to tell you the truth his arm strength reminds me of philip rivers. about the same amount of zip when he's not trying to snipe the ball in as hard as he can. if he's as accurate, I'll be a happy camper.

Part of the reason some fans think that Moore's arm is lacking in power is because Moore has thrown some deep passes this season with a defender preventing him from stepping into the throw properly. When Moore has room to step into a deep throw, his arm looks just strong enough for what we need. I'm not saying he has a cannon, but he's not as weak as he has looked at times this season due to pressure and bad mechanics. I think Jake, in his prime, had a stronger arm than Moore, but Moore will do just fine.
