The Carolina Panthers have decided to name Matt Moore the starting quarterback, allowing the 26-year-old to regain the job after being benched by coach John Fox in favor of rookie Jimmy Clausen for three games.
Carolina is a disastrous 0-5 while averaging a league-low 10.4 points per game. They face another struggling franchise, the 1-5 San Francisco 49ers this Sunday.
Clausen has only completed 47.3-percent of his passes this season and has thrown only one touchdown compared to three interceptions. Moore, however, also had sub-par statistics, completing 33.3-percent of his passes with two touchdowns and six interceptions. Both quarterback have been sacked a combines 17 times, the third-worst in the league.
Moore replaced the ineffective Jake Delhomme last season, going 4-1 in five starts while tossing eight touchdowns to only one interception as a starter, bring the 4-7 Panthers to a respectable 8-8.
