Matt Moore Highlights

[1789Cardiac Cats9020]

Some of you seem to be drinking to Claussen juice right now, but rest assured, Claussen is only getting these accolades because he went to Notre Dame. The guy is AWFUL!! To put it in perspective, Brady Quinn did great with a winning record in ND, what did Claussen do? 16-18. I am absolutely certain Pike will be a bigger success than Claussen. Claussen's throws are like freaking missiles....remember another QB that once played for the Panthers that fit that same description?

If you need a reminder of the gem we already have, and how a well thrown ball is supposed to look, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shv5YlxC4XQ&feature=related

Here's Claussen...pay attention to his motion pre and post release.

Now here's Tony Pike...Note the proper javelin throwing motion

Claussen fell so far for a reason

Are you afraid of Clausen taking Moore's spot? Seems like it to me.

Nope, I'm trying to show that Claussen isn't the best QB we drafted this weekend.

I'm still pretty high on Moore, but I thought Claussen's mechanics were one of the things scouts really liked about him?

Matt Moore is still my starting QB. He's earned my preference so far.

Count me in on the Moore ticket. Clausen can learn from him.

It will be a mistake for the coaches to keep giving this "it's an open competition" rheatoric. The best teams don't tell their starters that the rooks have just as good of chance to be the starter. "Hey Peyton, QB rook unknown has just as much chance of starting next year as you do!" Moore needs the support of the coaches. He is a great QB & am happy we have him. I'm happy about Clausen & Pike as well, but it's Moore for this year, IMO.

We've had a Qb without a proper throwing motion for years.. plus it looks like clausen is running for dear life in a lot of those highlights.

Pike is overrated by the fans. Even at the 6th round. Dude has struggled against decent defenses.

Contrary to popular belief ND's line was absolutely terrible. I have learned to absolutely hate Clausen over the years being a Trojans fan but I will support him as a member of the Carolina Panthers and if he earns the starting QB job in the future then I will cheer him on. With that said, go Matt Moore, let it rip out there and hopefully we will be trading Jimmy Clausen for a first-second round pick in a few years!

That settles it! Since nostradumbass said it we should just go ahead and cut Clausen, Hurney has no idea what he is doing.

my observations(1) moore looks good in these clips(2) clausen showed some ability in the pocket to keep plays alive even if his motion isn't alsways the best(3) pike throws one of prettiest balls i have seen . with that being said we need to remember that some players just have the "it" factor going for them and to me clausen appears to have that quality but it remains to be seen as to whether that translates to the pros

I like Matt Moore as much as anybody here, but if Clausen ends up being the better QB, then he should start. This is not rocket science.

Ah, but there's the rub -- do you trust Fox and Co. to put our best option at the quarterback position?

[1789Cardiac Cats9020]

Matt Moore is our QB, he hasn't given us reason to believe has anything above him. He's got the sort of arm strength Claussen can only dream of. Now the question isn't so much if Claussen will unseat Moore, as much as if we had intentions of drafting Pike, why did we pick Claussen at all? this leads me to believe Claussen is trade bait for the future

I don't know, I'm pretty sure one of the +'s that was Jimmy Clausen was that he had some of the best mechanics for a college football QB. I'm not buying the the bad mechanics stuff.

I'm rooting for Moore, but in no way am I gonna push Clausen away if he is the better QB.
