Quarterback Matt Moore's contribution this season was far from last year's
. As if this was not enough and a torn labrum in his shoulder will keep him out for the rest of the year. He played 6 games and threw 79 of 143 for 857 yards and 5 touchdowns, suffering 10 interceptions, while last season in 7 games he threw 85 of 138 for 1053 yards and 8 touchdowns, being intercepted only twice. He will be replaced by rookie Jimmy Clausen, who has been very ineffective with 51 of 109 for 501 yards, 1 touchdown and 4 interceptions. His challenge to guide the Panthers out from the last place of the NFC South begins on Sunday at Tampa Bay, when they face Division rivals the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
