Just curious about how Matt Moore is doing down in Miami? I don't know much about Chad Henne, but Matt Moore never got a fair chance in Carolina and I think he's got starter potential. John Fox and offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson mustered a lame duck season last year and a 2-14 season and arguably the worst offense in NFL history was the result. It was an embarrassing year to be a Panther fan, but I can tell you it wasn't the players fault...
Matt Moore had a number of good games for the Panthers. Always seemed to click with Steve Smith, so maybe he can get some chemistry with Brandon Marshall. From the stat line, it looked like had a good first pre-season game. I'm looking forward to seeing him take on the Panthers next week.

11 for 18, 2 TDs and 1 INT, and a 95.4 QBR.
Some will tell you that it came in garbage time against scrubs, but you have to keep in mind that he was also playing with scrubs. So take it all with a grain of salt.Xeticus, Ozzy, DolfanJake and 2 others like this. -
Frankly I really liked what I saw in him last night, decisive, accurate, nice spiral, good read progressions. If Henne doesn't get his head on straight, Moore might just give him a run for his position IMHO. But I am not qualified to judge like some of our resident guru's.

I dont see ANY way Moore gets to start when it all counts unless Henne gets hurt. Sparano and Ireland have put all their eggs in the Henne basket so I believe they will sink or swim with him, at least for the first few games.
but maybe thats just me...........dolfan32323 likes this. -
Henne is our starter. He'd have to mess up royally during the preseason to change that.
During the regular season however, when real wins and losses start racking up, watchout. This FO has pulled Henne before. They have no qualms about that.dolfan32323 likes this. -
You'll get to see Moore soon enough when Henne plays like Henne and gets benched, again.

To be honest, I like what I saw out of both QBs... I think Daboll coming in has made a big impact on Henne. I admit I haven't seen much of Moore at all... but, I saw both QBs making adjustments during the plays... pointing... shouting... etc... you did not see any of that from ANY of our QBs last year. I think we are a much more QB friendly offense now.

-effectively use a play action fake to create a big play down the field
-effectively deliver the ball in the face of heavy pressure
-effectively give a tall Wr a chance to make a play deep down the field
-effectively use the back line in the EZ by throwing the ball into a smallish window
-Display some passion for his job.
Sparano was working with Henne like mad man in practice yesterday, but common sense tells me Moore should get some run time with the #1's as Chad has missed time in each of the last 2 yrs.
Chad Henne is still the guy, Moore has not changed that fact.dolfan32323 and FasanoPaisano like this. -
Moore looked closer to what he was two years ago. He had more rhythm to his game. Last year he just looked out of sync. I think a big part of that is Daboll. Daboll looks like a huge improvement over last season. I was not among those that flipped out when we signed Moore. I see him as a clear upgrade to Thigpen and a guy I would feel comfortable with as a fill-in starter. I don't see him as a potential franchise guy, but he could be as productive as an Orton in the right system. And Daboll seems to be putting in one of those QB friendly system that will be the "right" system for a good number of QBs.

His performance was promising .I certainly feel more confident having him at backup than Thigpen .
The later also had his moments in KC before he landed on our roster but we soured on him after mediocre performances.
Thus one preseason game is too premature to be overly enthusistic about another backup QB.Boik14, FasanoPaisano and MikeHoncho like this. -
Much more happy w/ Moore or Henne as backup than Thigpen...like Pros vs. Joes

I liked the Moore signing but I dont think he puts Henne's job in any real jeopardy unless Henne plays himself out of the position. As has been beaten to death, Henne is either going to have to prove the naysayers wrong or we will be looking for a new QB next year. Moore is a good backup but not a starter, especially not on a playoff team. He did do some good things the other day though.

I think these guys are going to give Henne a fair chance to prove he can take his game up another level or two. But I do keep flashing back to Sparano's statement that they wanted a guy with some mobility that can keep plays alive with his feet. At some point if Chad shows he can't keep the inconsistency out of his game I don't think they'd hesitate to finally pull the trigger.

I think the RZ offense will improve now, Moore has the instinct to punch the ball in, he does not have the same sort of conscious that Henne had. -
