Matt Moore's weight

[methodtoll]

I know I know, there has been hundreds of threads on Matt Moore but one thing that concerns me about Matt Moore is his weight.. He only weighs 202 according to the panthers.com profile. Don't you think he is a little light? Do you think that his weight might make him more at a risk of injury?

He's not a prototypical quarterback, but I really don't see it as a problem.

[Ricky Spanish]

there's no way he only weighs 202.

[Dpantherman]

he'll eat more and lift some weight. no problem. and if not, still no problem. Drew Brees is 6'0, 209.

standing in the pocket forever panicking because one of your two favorite targets isn't open and you don't know what to do is an injury concern.

light=not a whole lot to move around=get away quicker=live to throw another down.

plus he gets rid of the ball quick. that helps.

not concerned about the weight.

Yeah I noticied that too and think he needs to add some bulk. Although he does scramble long enough to avoid some big hits.

Jake is bigger and yet he looses the ball a lot more. Size is overrated sometimes. The boy is fine. He might be small but when those defensive ends get a hold of him he wont loose the ball like jake.

Has not seemed to Help McNabb much.

Indeed.

Weinke was big as hell too.

that's true, but I think adding 10 pounds sounds logical. I don't want him to look like Culpepper when he came to Detroit. :eek:

Weight alone doesn't make you resistant to injury, muscle does. And yes I could see him actually engaging in a rigorous off-season weight program this year to gain some muscle and make his more resistant to injury, increase his already good arm strength and increase his mobility lateral movement.
