Could Matt Moore be in a similar situation as Vince Young was last season?

[methodtoll]

In the sense that most thought that Young had lost his mojo and was a complete bust but surprised many when the team was down and they turned back to Young to only began a winning streak.

Sometimes it takes someone to be benched to realize what he really has and that is motivation to prove the doubters wrong...

Btw, I am not an advocate for Moore or Clausen, I just want something to happen that will spark this team.

Could very well happen.

Excited to see a non-retarded thread.

[Happy Panther]

He did look decent at the end of last year and its not like he is coming off surgery

I really feel like Moore will be better...I think he was pressing at the beginning of the year and he was trying to make the big play instead of taking what the defense would give him. His INT's in the first game were all inside the 20 and he was trying to force it in for a touchdown every time. I hope he has realized that all he needs to do is make smart throws and let the receivers do the rest. Also, as sad as it is, I feel like we have improved the receiving corps with the additions of clowney and Thomas...if only by experience.

I don't wish Vince Young on Moore.

For some reason, I actually have a feeling Moore is going to come out play well. Who knows, but I think the change might work out well. I think he realizes that this very well may be his last shot at being a starter in the NFL.

It doesn't matter what he can do if our O-Line can't block and WRs not named Smitty can't catch. That has to shape up before anything with Moore or Jimmy takes place.

[scpanther22]

I think Moore has to find his mojo first.

he's proved that when the season is shot he plays good.He has to prove he can play when the pressure is on and he can handle being a starter.

IMO thats a little different than Vince Young. I also dont know if he can prove that this year seeing as the season is almost shot.

Moore has a huge opportunity here. The bye gave him a good time imo to get some more work in, and maybe the shuffled OL will help. I really hope so.

looking back at last year for the titans...sure they pulled it out kind of but what did it get them? a little bit of pride, an 8-8 record, no playoffs, a crappy draft pick, and kept fisher from getting fired (which probably should have happened esp. since fisher fought to keep vince from starting and they won games in spite of fisher). yay.

should they have tried to win games? sure. would they have been better off in the long run if they hadn't?

not sure what any of this has to do with us this year. probably nothing.

All I know for sure is, if they don't come out passing, nothing will change.

[Kevin Greene]

No, Moore has never achieved Vince Young's level of success.

You're talking about a first round pick versus an undrafted free agent QB in Young and Moore.

Come out passing, can't run because of the passing game.

BULLSHIT.

The only recipe for Panther success would be borrowed from the 1986 Superbowl Champion NY Giants.

460 pass attempts

560 rush attempts

This is how you win when your QB is less than stellar:

25 passes, 38 runs.

Why is Adam Schefter your avatar?

[Jangler]

I agree that in the long run, running will win the game. But the defense needs to be loosened up to get the run to work and if we come out running first, it will be shut down and then the passing game will follow and we will get what we have been getting for 5 weeks....another loss.
