moore is the starter..... of coure he is. but a lot can happen during training camp and 4 preseason games! and Jimmy Clawsome will get ample opportunity in preseaon to show his talent as moore, as the starter, will be rested the majority of preseason as the bench payers get the majority of reps.

Moore will have to be horrible for JC to unseat him in pre-season. Won't happen.

Now, if Moore struggles big time early on....I think Fox will be a little quicker to throw the rookie in there than he was to throw Moore in there last season.

Don't hold your breath on this.

Moore will play solid next season and the Panthers will be in the playoff hunt.

I kinda liked Smoot's "The Galloping Guido"

yeah, he ain't italian though.

I still like the The Pickle. We can have Zod rework the fight song so that we can all bring in pickles to the game and hold them over out heads to inspire the team and strike fear into opponents.

It is interesting to think that if there were no Sam Bradford in this draft, Jimmy Clausen would most likely have gone #1 to the Rams. Matt Moore should write Sam Bradford a strongly worded letter to voice his displeasure with his existance.
The Rams could have had Bradford rated a hell of a lot higher than Clausen. Teams don't necessarily zero in on a position. Would the Rams have taken Pike? The Golden Calf of Bristol? McCoy? Their 2nd pick was an OT. Without Bradford in the draft, they may well have taken Trent Williams or Russell Okung with the 1st pick.

There is a really good article written by a Philly sports radio/writer that was invited to the Rams War Room by Spags (who he is friends with). When I first read it it seemed to me like they had Bradford and Clausen ranked 1-2 overall but now that I re-read it a bit more closely, maybe not. They did have them ranked very closely as far as QB's go though. It's an interesting read into "the happenings" of the draft.....

But the clear aim of this offseason for the Rams was finding a quarterback to replace Marc Bulger, whether through the draft or free agency -- and preferably The One. That's what franchise quarterbacks are called nowadays in the league, and the romantic sense applies if you want to hug that trophy.

Even Spagnuolo, the one responsible for grounding the Patriots' super offense in 2007, a coach who reveres the bedrock principles of this game, however five-wide-less boring, built on defense and running the football, deems quarterback the first get in a franchise makeover.

"It's a quarterback league," he said.

Enter the crop of 2010: Bradford, Jimmy Clausen of Notre Dame, The Golden Calf of Bristol of Florida and Colt McCoy of Texas.

"We really had to look at those quarterbacks way early, before free agency," Spagnuolo said. "We had to decide whether any of them could be a franchise quarterback. If we decided they couldn't, we probably would have been more aggressive in free agency."

The Rams had plenty of options. Jake Delhomme, Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb, Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman and Charlie Whitehurst were all available at some point.

"At the time, we liked both Bradford and Clausen, with Colt hanging in there," Spagnuolo said. "So we didn't have to necessarily jump out and get a quarterback. The deeper we got into the process, the more it seemed like Sam could be a viable option."
