Do you compare the Moore/Delhomme situation to

Brady/Bledsoe or Rodgers/Farve

See, I always thought that Delhomme was a poor man's Brett Farve...

Don't get me wrong, Delhomme is no where compared to what Brett Farve has accomplished but both men are from the deep south and our gunslingers.

Then you have Aaron Rodgers, a laid back Cali dude, who, in limited time, showed that he can take over as starter and lead the Packers back to the promise land thus as he shown this past season. Also to note, that when he was drafted, he stayed behind Farve for a few seasons and learned from him.

Almost comparable is Matt Moore, who wasn't drafted but was a undrafted rookie that came into Carolina when Delhomme went down. He also was on the bench, learning behind Delhomme and now will walk into the starting role this season

I want to note that I don't think we are any where compared to the Packers but who knows, maybe we will get to the point where we are actually competing against them in the NFCCG.

Thoughts?

Thats an interesting comparison. Obviously, If we would have won the superbowl, people would be looking at Jake in a different light I think. However he is no where near as revered as Brett was. Also I think usually the laid back Cali guy would be hard to be embraced in the South. However you win games the people will love you. Just like Aaron Rodgers though, Moore has to start well. He doesn't really have a long leash imo around here since he isn't a high draft pick. However if we play close to last year level with this years schedule, we will play well enough to cement him as the starter for a few years.

If Matt Moore plays anywhere close to Aaron Rodgers I would be ****ing ecstatic. I wish no ill on Jake so as long as he is not in our way I wish him nothing but success.

not a Rodgers/Favre. maybe a Brady/Bledsoe. but I like to see it as a Warner/Green situation. both Warner and Moore went undrafted and both got the starting job due to an injury to the starter. Only difference is that Warner had more weapons than Moore. He had Torry Holt, Issac Bruce, Marshall Faulk, Ricky Prohel, and Az-Zahir Hakim. while Moore right now only has 3 big weapons in Steve Smith, DeAngelo Williams, and Jonathan Stewart.

I think the Brady comparison is unrealistic (plus the patriots cheated). Aaron rodgers played his ass off, if it wasn't for the fact that his left and right tackles look like turn styles and he still had a good year is a testament of how well he played. Also note he holds the ball to long sometimes too but sometimes got to take the good with the bad.

I think it's a valid comparison style wise... Delhomme is no Brett Favre, but his style was similar and I don't think Moore is Aaron Rodgers, (although one can hope) but he's a young guy stepping in for a veteran and will have a lot of pressure to get it done, so it's somewhat similar.

First off i agree Delhomme is like a poor man's Favre. I also want to address what Crimsontd Panthers said about Warner having more weapons. I think Jarrett, Smith, Stewart and Williams is pretty impressive. Add a WR or TWO in the draft or FA and we are as stacked. Torry Holt and Mardy Gilyard maybe?

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with.

      FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.

      Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
