Moore wants to stay a Panther

It's been a season filled with uncertainty for Panthers quarterback Matt Moore, and it could be an offseason of uncertainty as well.

One thing, however, is for certain: Moore would like to be a Panther next season.

"Absolutely. There's no doubt about that," Moore said. "That would be the No. 1 goal.

"If it's up to me, I'd be here. This is my home now. The people here have been great to me football-wise. In this building, everything has been great. I've had good experiences here."

Moore, who is eligible to become a free agent after the season, made his first public comments Wednesday since season-ending shoulder surgery nearly a month ago. Moore said he's recovering slowly but steadily from the torn labrum in his right shoulder that he suffered Nov. 7 against New Orleans.

"I feel great," Moore said, adding that he hopes to be able to start throwing in March. "My range of motion is good. We're just working slowly on getting some strength back. I'm taking it slow, day by day, but it's getting better."

Moore opened the season as the Panthers' starting quarterback but struggled, getting intercepted three times in the end zone in a season-opening loss at the New York Giants.

His struggles continued the next week, prompting the Panthers to turn to rookie Jimmy Clausen as their Week 3 starter. Clausen started the next three games before head coach John Fox turned back to Moore, who responded to the second chance by leading Carolina to its lone victory, 23-20 over the San Francisco 49ers.

Wow, talk about toting the company line. I like the guy, so don't get me wrong, but when exactly have they been great to you? When the coaches benched you in favor of a craptastic rookie? Or when the fans who are clueless booed you, Matt?

At this point, bring him back for at least TC, let him, Luck, Vet, and Pickles battle it out, and see who wins. Nothing wrong with that.

Moore has played before this season. He had 2 bad games and we gave up on him. Matt Cassell had 2 bad games to start the season and look how his season has been like. Honestly I blame John Fox for being too stubborn to give Moore another chance. I mean seriously two bad games and we bench him for a horrible rookie, just another reason for Fox to be fired.

I also think Matt Moore is good enough to win us games. We could pass on Luck and get a much needed DT to help the defense.

I kinda hope Moore does come back, to be honest. Even though I did want Clausen to play(and I was wrong about Clausen, painfully so), I like Moore a lot, but...

I just don't know if I see it. It may be better for his career to go some place new, too. I mean, either way, he is unlikely to be a long term starter here with us either going to end up with Luck or end up with Clausen playing well enough to keep us from Luck (LOL like THAT will happen)
