Carolina Panthers coach John Fox released a statement today saying that Matt Moore will return to replace Danny Clausen as quarterback.<\/p>\n
This “quarterback controversy” isn’t exactly Montana vs. Young or Jurgensen vs. Kilmer. Whatever Fox’ gut tells him to do is ok I guess. Whomever practices better probably should start. But the franchise needs to decide if Clausen is the future or Moore is the future.<\/p>\n
“We have struggled on offense since the beginning of the season and sometimes it helps to step back and watch and Matt has had a chance to do that,” Fox said today.<\/p>\n
Somehow I think the Panthers intended to stick with Clausen when he took over, not merely give Moore a break to observe. Perhaps both quarterbacks have a future in the NFL but it doesn’t appear that this season will be good for either. It probably doesn’t matter which guy is quarterbacking as far as wins but it might as far as developing the future.<\/p>\n
The Panthers, who play 1-5 San Francisco Sunday, stand at 0-5 and are one of two teams who are winless – the Bills are the other.<\/p>\n
NFL Note<\/b>: At FedEx Field Sunday night, about 50 Washington Redskins alumni were introduced including former Duke and Wilmington product Sonny Jurgensen. When the new HD television screen showed Jurgensen, his name was misspelled as “Jurgenson.” You’d think that a five-time all-pro who threw for more than 32,000 yards and was proclaimed by legendary coach Vince Lombardi as the best quarterback he’d ever seen, could have his name spelled correctly by his own team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
