The numbers don't say he got the ball to Smith consistently.

Tampa-3 receptions for 78 yards

New England-2 receptions for 83 yards

Minnesota- 9 receptions for 157 yards

New York Giants- 5 receptions for 60 yards

New Orleans- did not play

What the numbers show is that Moore was able to get the ball down the field to Smith on a couple of big plays and that in one case had a big game against Minnesota.

But consistently means more than a few catches a game interspersed with one big game. In order for your statement to be true they need to have several big games each season and every week average 6 or more catches a game.

So far there is little to suggest that he can consistently get the ball to Smith. Delhomme was just so bad that the bar was set very low.

you do realize the first couple games he was on a very very short leash don't you? he only threw the ball sparingly and was able to get the ball to steve consistently. smith was on pace to do some major damage in NY but he got tired of being a beast and decided to let J-stew get some spotlight... or he broke his arm, I don't remember; the point is that moore gets the ball to smith in a position for smith to make a big play. that is why he is our playmaker. The QB's job is to get the playmaker the ball, not make plays himself, and that is what jake delhomme's biggest problem was, he tried to make plays instead of letting his receivers make them.

This is basically what I think. I really feel that Jarrett will be a solid #2/3, and that the biggest problem was that Jake rarely looked his way. Also, when he was in the game, it was usually as a blocker, but I did see him open several times where he was not targeted. So while many look at his low catch total and judge him a bust, I look at it and see a guy that has not been fully utilized. So with Matt coming in and already displaying the ability to spread the ball around, I fully expect Jarrett to have a very solid year.

With that said, I really do think we still need a receiver with good speed, and it doesn't necessarily have to be blazing straight line speed, but a guy that is very quick and has a good burst to give him separation from the DB. That's why I am probably leaning toward Mardy Gilyard as my #1 target (realistically since the Golden Tate's will likely be long gone by our pick). Another guy that I am intrigued by is Taylor Price from Ohio. He has good size and speed, and he was beating all the top CB's at the senior bowl practice, and caught just about anything that came near him. I have never seen him play, but based on his measurables and what I saw of him at the senior bowl practices, I think he would be a solid pick-up in the 3rd or 4th round.

No need to make excuses or justify. I am not saying that he won't get it to Smith consistently this Fall. I simply was responding to the poster who said that Moore already has shone he could get it to Smith consistently. I just pointed out the numbers don't suggest any type of consistency yet. Doesn't mean it won't happen, simply that it is too early to say it is already the case.

The 2:48 mark in that video was awesome; you saw Kenny Moore (Moore 2) blocking his arse off. There is one thing to point out though: there was NO pressure at all. Moore had great pocket presence, but let's see if he can hold up under extreme pressure. He's also a long ways away from proving he can play in the post season.

I pull for Moore all the way, but let's let the guy develop before we crown him.

The team has been more successful under Matt Moore's play. That being said. If they were confident that he was the man, they wouldn't be just be tendering him. This is definitely his opportunity (unless the Panthers surprise us and trade for another QB), his opportunity to be the man all throughout the off-season, mini camps, pre-season, and show what he can do as the leader for a full season, not as a backup. I do feel, as long as our run game remains successful, that Matt Moore should be able to lead this team well. I've believed in him from his first season with us, but I also understand that this coming season is the season that he will either show the Panthers he's worth the long term commitment, or not.
