Panthers to Start Matt Moore at QB, Delhomme Out with Injury

Matt Moore

The Carolina Panthers will start Matt Moore at quarterback on Sunday when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Starting QB Jake Delhomme is currently out with a broken finger on his throwing hand according to ESPN.

Perhaps the change would have been inevitable, as Delhomme was having a career-worst year with 18 interceptions through the first 11 games.

The Carolina receiving corps seems enthused about the change.

“I think this is a great opportunity for Matt,” Muhsin Muhammad told ESPN. “Obviously, we won’t do a lot of the things that Jake does well, but we’ll do the things that Matt does well.”
