I remember Moore's first pass in the NFL, a 45 yard strike into coverage to Colbert. When he gets back to the sidelines, Jake says, "you know that I've run that route hundreds of times and never thrown that pass". Moore just looks at him and says, "he was open". I'm willing to give Moore a chance...

Seriously? :confused:

Honestly, the answer to the question is ......Probably not.

How many teams out there have an answer at QB. 15 or so.......

Thats not saying that he won't or can't be, just that the probability is not good.

That said, if he can move up the depth chart, and seems to be practicing better than our "struggling" QB next year, then he gets his shot. And if not, he makes more per year than most of us, and gets to "play" a game we love for a living.

He will get his shot, if he is the real deal.

Where's there a future in Favre? There's no future in him, he is nobody's long term answer because he's too old. The focus of the thread is "who is going to be the future signal caller?"

Did you know the other two guys you mentioned, Jake and Warner? Yea, both gained playing experience in NFL Europe. That, I think, was a crucial piece of their development. Well there isn't an NFL Europe you can farm QBs in anymore, and since those two, nobody else has emerged the same way.

It's not so much as 'having a future' as it is about what and where teams seek the so-called answers to their QB situations. What consitutes the future now days? Is is defined by a set number of years? How many? Teams build for a season nowdays, they take 2, 3, and sometimes more to build for ONE better than average chance at making a serious playoff run. That some are in the hunt year after year shows that they are onto something. Favre showed he can still play this year, as did Warner. If either or both decide to come back next year, they will be received enthusiastically by their teams, PRECISELY because those teams will be able to put 'the future' off for another year.

Per your pointing out there being no NFL Europe anymore, you actually make my point (somewhat), that evaluating anyone, from anywhere, is an even bigger crapshoot than has been the situation in recent years, the pros can only glean so much from a players college career or any other playing time he has (maybe in semi-pro, industrial leagues, military, etc., which the prose do try to scout). Based on all the arguments presented so far on this thread, Moore looks better and better. But we can never know at this point in time if he is the guy, or should be the guy.

I wasn't shocked or surprised that it happened because that's the nature of fans, but it is also why I usually stay off here totally for a few days after any loss.

me too, i didn't come back to the forum until a week or so after the AZ loss.

Not just so I didn't have to read it, but I didn't want to write something stupid either.

Jake had 7 bad games, a few good games, the rest average. Had 2 of the worst games of his career in the same year. One being against the Raiders. The other during the worst possible time a QB could ever have one. He had the best run game, probably best offensive line in his career, yet didn't perform better. I've given up on Jake. He's not going to change. I think this organization is gonna ride this horse till it has fallen over and died from exhaustion though. But if they decide to go the Rodney Peete route when Jake stinks it up in the beginning half of the season, I hope whoever is behind him will step it up. Which Im sure they'll have someone who is ready.

I don't know if I'm giving up on Jake just yet, but I agree with most of your points. The Carolina Panthers have never asked Jake to do a whole lot. This year in particular he had, as you've already noted, one of the league's best offensive lines and running back tandems, not to mention one of the best receivers in the game and a solid No. 2 in Muhammad.

Many blame coaching for the Arizona loss, saying that we shouldn't have passed as much and put the game on Jake's shoulders. While I agree we abandoned the run entirely too early, shouldn't any NFL quarterback be able to step up and play well when asked?

I wish Jake the best next year and would absolutely love to see him have a great season in 2009. But if he comes out playing poorly in the first game, I want him benched and I want Moore to take his spot.

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
