Does Peter King know something we don't?

Matt Moore is an ok backup at best.

Definitely not a Matt Moore groupie but e certainly has more wins than Cam Newton.

more proof that believing that quarterbacks win games by themselves is still 100% correlated with being a terrible poster with terrible opinions

I guess I was a troll when I didn't like Clausen either.

I complained about Delhomme too, but at least we were relevant with him at QB. I know you're a Cam lover, but I'm not. I'm a Panthers fan, and just because I don't believe in some QB with 7 wins doesn't make me a troll.

Lots of great points here I empathize somewhat.

Only a Matt Moore groupie would know his win total or care

These trolls are all aliases or former members. Nobody wastes their time trolling a 1-6 team except former fans still pissed we drafted Newt. Theyre gonna be pissed even more when JR breaks his piggy bank for him in a year or two. Bwaaaahaaa!

Yea, because nothing says I'm worth a huge contract like a 30% winning percentage and 28th in QB ranking.

I guess they shouldn't use wins when it comes to voting quarterbacks into the Hall of Fame. Someone should shoot them an email.

most people would look at matt and see a solid backup/fill-in guy to hold it down until the heir apparent is ready or maybe a decent long term starter on a team that doesn't ask much of their quarterbacks. if you get outside the vacuum of the huddle and read some other NFL boards that's how he's widely viewed and it's an opinion i would by and large agree with.

of course, there's that small army of true believers who think that he's a bonafied franchise quarterback and would vehemently disagree with that notion.

I feel bad for anyone who is not on board with Cam, hes going to be here for the next 10 years. When was the last time a team let go of a young franchise QB?

Kerry Collins?

The kid is in his SECOND season! He's played good, but not great. There have been a number of dropped balls that were very catchable, and Steve Smith has slipped on the turf more times this year than I can remember in his entire career. We have a LOT of issues on our team right now.

Anyone that says he's on his way out at this stage in the game is delusional. Sure, everyone should have good competition, but with the current salary cap and the price tags of some of the must-have players on everyone's rosters, sinking a bunch of money into backup QBs just isn't realistic. That's why we have Derek Anderson and Jimmy Clausen. Besides, good backup QBs don't stay backups for long. There's not a backup QB in the NFL with anywhere close to the talent Newton possesses. It's up to the coaching staff to harness, focus and utilize it. They did it last year, what's different this year???

Newton is still a kid, like it or not. He needs veteran leadership to take his cues from, and I don't see any discernable leadership on this team right now, at least among active players. He's got the tools, and he deserves more than one season to learn how to maximize them.
