Moore makes me a believer

he threw one int. Bad passes happen. Brady threw several balls at his receivers feet. The thing is, both Moore and Brady bounced back from those bad passes with beautiful passes. Moore also had several beautiful deep balls in this game and pretty much every game in the last 6-7 weeks.

Next week, you might change your mind when you see him pick apart an elite secondary.

I, personally, see him lead the receiver perfectly. I see him squeeze throws in between two defenders where only the receiver has a chance to make a play on the ball.

As for Hartline, some of his grabs are GREAT. I am one of the few Hartline lovers on here, but I believe he makes catches more difficult on himself quite often. Watch the next time he turns around to catch a ball. If you can rewind it, look at the trajectory of the ball and ask yourself “was that a perfect back shoulder throw?” He just prefers to have his chest facing the ball when he makes a catch IMO.

Hartline made some nice catches this year but you may be exaggerating with the whole “he catches balls that are uncatchable to most guys”

And as far as the whole 70 yard TD plays, our top 3 receivers are more of the possession type. Gates has the speed to do so but he hasn’t really seen the field, so I don’t really know what to expect as a wr.

Also if you look at the weapons Eli, Brees, Rodgers, Ben, and Vick have it will make sense why they break off so many big plays. Yes they are great QBs but they also have talented weapons.

And last but not least Matt Moore is NOT the future

you’re not a casual fan. I love me some Eons too. All 3 actually.

I won’t tell TCP lol.

first four games Henne 57.1 comp% Moore 61.7
Henne 868 yrds Moore 783
Henne 4 td’s 4 ints…Moore 4/3
Henne 79.0 rating Moore 85.1

Not that much of a difference but Henne was not thrown under the bus he had 3 years to prove himself and yes I would say he shown SOME improvement not a giant step like some might say because he still went back to his old ways from time to time but rated 8th in the league with these stats sheesh looks like the other 24 QB’s must have had a really tough first four weeks

snap in the NFL. I think him playing with Luck vs. some of the other names is much different. Luck can start from day one. Even RG3 could use a year or two of seasoning.

He never showed the ability to put together a game winning drive. Regardless of his unappropriate nickname, “The Robot”, nerves always got the better of him when it became crunch time.

His numbers compare favorably to two franchise QB’s. The number that matters is TDs and, I’m sorry, 15 TDs is a FAIL. Why is everyone dodging that DREADFUL fumble stat? 14 games, 14 fumbles (6 lost).

This is what the stat line really says:

Matt Moore 14 G, 17 TDs, 13 TO
Cam Newton 16 G, 34 TDs, 18 TO
Matt Ryan 16 G, 29 TDs, 15 TO

Matt Moore 17 TDs. Great numbers for a backup, I hope we keep him around and let the guy compete next year. His numbers say he is a great “game manager”, can win games he should and loses the games he should. He will be good for 8 – 10 wins a year. If Henne was only responsible for 17 TDs at this point in the season everyone would be calling for his head, saying how inept we were offensively, and that he was no better than a backup.

We have seen such bad QB play over the last decade that we will latch on to anyone as long their rating is high and they string together a couple of wins. What Matt Moore has done is impressive…..yes. Elite, no. Will you feel confident going into Heinz Field in January with him? How about when he’s staring across the line into Ray Lewis’ mug and sees Reed creeping up into the slot?

I want a QB who makes me confident that we have a great chance to win every week. Matt Moore is essentially Chad Pennington, who had a great one year run here. Manages the game well and will beat the par to subpar teams.
