Jake Delhomme or Matt Moore? The Carolina Panthers Better Figure It Out

After watching the Carolina Panthers get beat up by the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday, I became officially depressed. It looks like it is going to be a long season. But hey, at least we did not lose by 5 touchdowns! I have long been a Panthers fan, and have always supported all members of the team, including Jake. But after Sunday's game, I am surprised he was not named the Eagles most valuable player. Don't get me wrong, however, as I do think Jake is a talented quarterback, but I think it is time we move on and start developing a new QB for the future, and who better than Matt Moore? Comparing in game 1, he only threw 1 interception versus Jake's 4, and has a QB rating of 33.5, much better than Jake's 14.7. But ignoring stats, I just thought he looked more comfortable in the pocket and other than that interception, really impressed me. With a little more playing time, I feel like he could really develop into a great asset for the team. Because of this, I am going to make a bold prediction. I think if the Carolina Panthers give Matt Moore a chance, I think we will win the Superbowl. You can call me crazy all you want, but I just have a good feeling about that kid and think he can do some big things given the chance. No matter what happens, however, I hope we can turn this season around. Next week is not going to be much easier playing against the Atlanta Falcons, who has the beter record overall and for some reason, always seem to beat us when I watch the game. Maybe I will make Sunday a day to watch golf instead.
