Anyone who ever thought Matt Moore was the quarterback to **LEAD** an NFL team was delusional. I said so last season, despite his play in the mop up part of the season. Based on what Delhomme did last season, Moore looked like Joe Montana…but take away Jake, and you had a guy who didn’t even have the right physique to be an NFL QB. Legs too short compared to his torso, too thin, a blank stare on his face most of the time. Not that I disliked him, but “STARTING NFL QUARTERBACK”? Come on. “What have you done for me lately” is not a part of my credo. What is your potential is, and it was clear to me even when others were swooning, that Matt Moore didn’t have much potential.

First I would say when has Clausen shown he’s better than Moore? It certainly wasn’t the preseason. Second I would say where was the play calling Clausen got when Moore was in? Sure didn’t use players in the same way for both QBs. Lastly I would say had they drafted a more game ready receiver would we not be seeing a different offense and better QB play?

It doesn’t matter who is in until the O line gets consistent, Moore was hit several times again, and we get better receiver play. Gettis was the reason for the overthrow even the announcers pointed out he didn’t go full speed until it was too late. Let’s not forget Smitty running before catching and Rosarios drop of a pretty sure TD. Those aren’t on Moore.

At this point they have no real choice but to play Clausen. They made that bed when they pulled Moore. Instead of trying to let their young QB work through it they decided to give him the hook. Now if he does start he’ll be looking for it. I have seen this before it leads to tentative play which leads to losses. Hope Jimmy is ready but I don’t think he is.
