Is Moore the future?

[gorillamilitia13]

Im just curious.

Jake's days are winding down so who do you think will be the future QB of the panthers?

Moore or a draft pick?

Maybe even a qb from the FA or maybe another one like Jake that just comes out of nowhere.

Personally I hope its not Moore he is a solid backup but he looked worse in the Pre-season then he did last season, but I have a feeling knowing the Panthers FO they are planning on having Moore line up behind center a couple years from now as our starter.

What do you guys think?

Please state your reason why after you vote

I dont' know. Moore was trained by one of the best, a coach that coached Brady in College. The guy says Moore was the best he ever coached including brady. So something isn't right in Demark so to speak.

[rayzor]

at this point it is safe to say yes.

who knows what the future holds?

[JeramiahCopperfield]

He ain't got "it".

Think about all the quarterbacks that come out lately... Alex Smith, Aaron rodgers, Jay Cutler... None of them are in the league of Manning, Brady, Warner... You just sometimes get lucky, like with Matt Ryan.

Could Matt Moore be serviceable like Aaron Rodgers? I think so. I don't think he will be as good as Jake, and def not a top 5 player

[holycrikey]

You never know, really. Moore showed a few flashes of a great QB.

Let's not forget that Jake has several more years of being a starter, given that he is still healthy and doesn't continue his trend of tossing balls to the defense in playoff games.

However, Jake was quite the longshot when the Panthers picked him up. Sometimes the stars just align and a great QB is added to the roster without much notice or fanfare or high predictions of talent. Let's remember that everyone "knew" Matt Cassel was going to be a junky backup. Regardless if he is just a decent QB with an amazing team, he still looks pretty good out there and proved many, many people wrong. The league is odd sometimes. Guys just step up and do great and some guys just do horrible.

That being said, I'd love to see Carolina grab a QB higher than the third round (which would be higher than any QB in Panthers history, with only drunko Kerry Collins being a first round QB draft pick)

But who knows. In general, the Panthers organization has shyed away from grooming QB's. They don't like drafting them high and would rather prefer experience under the belt before they invest in a player. I think that's the safer method (lets all remember Ryan Leaf for a bit...), but at some point I'd like to see the Panthers stick their neck out and draft a young guy for QB. Maybe once Jake retires they'll go that route should they have a good enough draft class.

Oh, btw. Nick007VH, your avatar is kickass. 1.) for ass and 2.) for Ron Paul support. Doubly whammy.

No. Without Delhomme our team is finished. It will be move to Anaheim and there will be no more Carolina Panthers.

[frash.exe]

delhomme will retire only a couple seasons after his abilities have depleted enough to paralyze the pass offense and moore will come in at 27 to complete on average 55% of his passes, throw for 2800 yards and 14-12 td-int ratio every year until he's 32.

fun for everyone

this offseason is the most likely season to draft a QB high than any other season during john fox's tenure

we have one of the best running games in the NFL which is a quarterbacks best friend, our O-line is also one of the best

Jake had a good season but also had the worst game of his career in the post-season, which was supposed to be his saving grace, and every year he gets older the likelyhood only increases

I'm not sure it will happen but It is definatley has the greatest chance this year

I haven't seen enough of matt moore to know whether or not he is the future, it's possible but he will have to start a few more games for me to know what kind of QB he is

[Brooklyn Bully]

As someone said, he doesn't have the "it" factor. If we ever want to be seen as a year in and year out top contender, we need to have a roster that says that. No more Cardiac Cats. Moore is nothing more than what Jake is, a servicable QB. I want a star running the show.

Where's the star coming from this season? Cassel, (just about everyone here says no) There isn't a star QB in the draft IMO either. I do like Cassel though.

correct me if i'm wrong - john fox hasn't drafted a QB has he?

[bigdog_10_2002]

for those saying he doesn't have "it", 2 questions

1. What exactly is "it"?

2. How can you say he doesn't have "it", from three games in 07 and a preseason in 08?

If you don't know you have no idea

Fair enough but we can only go on what we see so far
