The Carolina Panthers are confident that its quarterback Matt Moore can win the matchup. The Giants fans also may have painfully recalled that he has done it before. Last season, the highlight of his career came when the Panthers closed out Giants Stadium on Dec. 27 with a 41-9 thumping. In the match, the Giants were eliminated from the playoff contention. Moore was 15 that day for 20 for 171 yards and 3 touchdowns.
26-year-old Moore is an undrafted free-agent waiver pickup in 2007 and to the start of 2009 he was a third-string QB.
Marty Hurney, the General Manager of Panthers, said: “I think Joe Gibbs had an old saying: ‘you evaluate quarterbacks when the lights come on… And every time Matt’s had a chance, an opportunity to play for us in games, he’s stepped up and done a great job. Whether it be his rookie year or last year, he’s won games for us. And I think that he has the confidence of everybody in the building.”He said this week after a practice referring to the former Redskins coach.
Well, to reward Moore there was not enough confidence. He has only signed a one-year dear for $3 million. It is to be seen how he performs.
