Guess we aren't getting him back.

 

[theebs]

Would have been nice to have him over ball.

Not going to affect the team this year anyway, hopefully it wont affect us down the road.

Not a huge deal we have our starter for the next 6 or so years already, Moore wasnt gonna be more than a future backup here. Good luck to him

Panthers claim three off waivers
September 2, 2007

Panthers.com

The Carolina Panthers have claimed tight end Marcus Freeman, quarterback Matt Moore and tackle Frank Omiyale off waivers from Baltimore, Dallas and Atlanta respectively, the team announced Sunday. All three players were waived when teams reduced their rosters to the 53-player limit for the regular season on Saturday. To make room on the roster for them, the Panthers placed tight end Michael Gaines on injured reserve with a shoulder injury and waived tackle Rashad Butler and guard Will Montgomery.

Freeman (6-2, 246 pounds) attended training camp with the Ravens after being signed as an undrafted rookie free agent from Notre Dame. He played in 44 games with 11 starts during his career for the Fighting Irish and posted 14 receptions for 148 yards and two touchdowns.

Moore (6-3, 202 pounds) completed 21-of-29 passes for 182 yards and one touchdown during the preseason with the Cowboys after being signed as an undrafted rookie free agent from Oregon State. In two seasons with the Beavers, he passed for 5,733 yards and 29 touchdowns.

Omiyale (6-4, 310 pounds) was selected in the fifth round (163rd overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft from Tennessee Tech by the Falcons. He was inactive for all 16 games as a rookie and played in one game and was inactive for 15 contests last season.

Gaines played in all 16 games with nine starts last year and recorded a career-high 15 catches for 146 yards. Butler dressed but did not play in one game and was inactive for 11 contests before being placed on injured reserve with a staph infection as a rookie in 2006. Montgomery appeared in seven games with four starts during his rookie season in 2006.

You have to wonder who made this decision, and why? I wonder if we wanted him back at all? You would think... But you never know.

Funny... you love the QB we let go and can't stand the QB we kept.

 

[AbeBeta]

And no head banging icon things yet?

So much for the "nobody will pick him up at this time for their roster because he does not know their playbook and all teams have their roster all set up by now" stuff...

Oh, well, another one bites the dust...

That is a shame. We never have young QB's on our roster and I think he was worth it. We do not know if Romo is our future and in addition cannot be guaranteed that Romo stays healthy for years to come.
But, QB has not been a priority with this franchise since drafting Aikman. Why change now??????

We will RUE it.

Where have you been the last ten years?

Darn. Never happy when a player that the Cowboys want is claimed by another team. But life goes on....

Bingo. Moore would have been a decent keep but nothing to sweat over.

good young QB's don't grow on trees which is why i questioned all those that felt he would not get picked up by another team. sure glad we kept berger on the roster.

Maybe the coaching staff wasn't high on Moore like many people here were.

I would have liked to try to develop him into a backup QB; but I guess the coaching staff didn't see enough in him to do that.

The fumbles in the Minny game probably did him in?
