Matt Moore Supporters ...Quick Question

[Panthro]

What are the QB Qualities, Skills, Intangibles that you see in Matt Moore that you don't see in Cam Newton? If you could replace part/parts of Newton's game with Matt Moore's strengths what would those be?

[Rhys]

Uhm, what wouldn't we replace?

For starters, Matt has MUCH better hair, I mean, those curly dark locks are to die for.

So is this just a straight up comparison of the two? Obviously Cam is much more athletic... Moore's main positive would be his NFL experience.

Well there has to be a reason why people would prefer one over the other. Is the only reason experience?

[Jase]

the advantages that matt moore has are the same as those that jake delhomme had... intangibles, experience, gutsy play

how that applies to newton, I have no idea.

[carolinarolls]

how can you preface "nfl experience" with "only"?

it's a big deal

Camp will prove who has the chops. No sense in trying to guess which parts to trade from one to another or why one will not measure up to the other in spite of this opinion or that statistic.

I know people around here are not as sold on Cam as much as others and those same people are also very concerned about the QB position. If Cam is a Panther there is definitely the possibility for a huge face lift to our offense which would satisfy lots of people. Unfortunately there is also going to be the same unreasonable expectations that were placed on Claussen, Weinke, etc. when they were thrown to the wolves. At that point it will be impossible to determine what he is failing at or excelling in as everyone will have their own ideas and "expert" analysis.

If you like the guy, cool. If you don't, that's cool too. The question is if you like him as the number one overall pick in an offense everyone is going to be learning with coaches everyone is going to be warming to. Forget what we have/had at that position in the past. Can you see Newton as a Panther and gelling with what we have in the locker room?

The pro-con list is so even I am indifferent about him and I am glad the decision is not mine to make.

Who prefers who? I don't know that I would prefer either... I haven't seen Cam play at the NFL level and Moore has been mediocre at best... was that a product of the coach/system/o-line? Probably some...

I don't think it's really a valid comparison though... QB wise I would say that Cam will be better mainly because he's the more athletic of the two, HOWEVER, this has nothing at all to do with the draft imo... because you have to factor in whether or not Cam (or any other QB for that matter) is worth the #1 overall pick.

IOW, is picking a QB at #1 going to make enough of a difference over what we have now as opposed to picking a better player at another position that will be more dominant at that position.

since when did wanting to bring Moore to camp mean we "prefer him" to Cam Newton? Not that I want to draft a QB, but no matter who we draft we'll want a good backup who has proven he can win games when a starter is injured. if nothing else, Moore has done that.

I also like Moore's perseverance, but it's hard to underrate his experience on a roster of QBs that is severely inexperienced. We've already heard how unlikely it is for us to get any of the bigger name vets out there.

I think that most quarterbacks in the league could benefit from Newton's athleticism. Of course, Newton could benefit from a lot of quarterbacks in this league too.

I have a question in regards to Moore... isn't he an FA due to that 1 year contract he signed last year? So even if the CBA is signed... we may lose him anyway right?

Correct.

[mav1234]

We may lose any of the guys who were tendered... still basically on the team for now.

Good point. We prefer Moore to Jimmy "3 and out" Clausen.
