QB Matt Moore left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter with a concussion sustained on a hit he took from his blindside. Moore got up on one knee and remained on the field for awhile. He walked off the field under his own power but was a little shaky.

That could put his availability for next week in question, possibly expediting Jimmy Clausen’s expected entrance into the starting lineup.

The Carolina Panthers have made their quarterback decision.

According to multiple league sources, the Panthers have decided to keep sixth-round pick Tony Pike as their third quarterback and waive Hunter Cantwell.

Neither passer lit it up in the preseason, with Pike finishing with a team-high 58.4 passer rating to Cantwell’s 57.2.

Starter Matt Moore finished with a 56.1 rating and rookie backup Jimmy Clausen had a 46.8 rating.

Cantwell opened training camp as Moore’s backup based on his experience, and had the strongest arm on the team by far. But the Panthers went with Pike based in part on the intangibles they saw as similar to former quarterback Jake Delhomme.

After more than three hours of dreadful offensive football, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan sought out Carolina coach John Fox at midfield, happy the final gun had sounded to signal the end of a night of punts and turnovers.

"I told John Fox it looked like a pillow fight out there with both offenses struggling like that, to say the least,'' Ryan said. "You're going to have days like that."

Mark Sanchez and Matt Moore hope there aren't many more, after nearly equally poor quarterback performances in the Jets' touchdown-less, 9-3 victory over the Panthers on Saturday night.

Sanchez was lucky to avoid two interceptions and failed to get the Jets in the end zone despite great field position. Moore couldn't lead Carolina to any points on a night of bad passes, drops and penalties.

Sanchez completed five of 10 passes for 12 yards, a setback after he recovered from an interception on his first pass Monday against the Giants and looked sharp. LaDainian Tomlinson 's 20-yard draw play was the Jets' top offensive play.

The Panthers couldn't even come close to matching that - which is why they lost despite allowing only 112 yards.

Moore, given the starting job when seven-year starter Jake Delhomme was released in the offseason, failed to lead a scoring drive for the second straight preseason game. He completed just six of 17 passes for 57 yards and an interception.

Rookie Jimmy Clausen wasn't much better, going 9 of 22 for 72 yards and a pick, and neither got much help. Carolina played without star receiver Steve Smith (broken arm) and the unheralded stable of receivers behind him did nothing to quell concerns Smith will be the Panthers' only option.

Moore badly overthrew rookie Brandon LaFell on a deep pass on Carolina's opening possession and safety Jim Leonhard swooped in for the interception. Leonhard came in unblocked and sacked Moore the second time the Panthers had the ball.

LaFell, a third-round pick, had trouble holding onto passes after getting hit. Kenny Moore had some drops, while Dwayne Jarrett struggled to get open.

Kellen Clemens got the most time at quarterback after Sanchez, finishing 4 of 6 for 32 yards. Veteran Mark Brunell was 3 of 7 for 2 yards.

Matt Moore was easily the top quarterback at Panthers camp, and Tony Pike clearly was the fourth.

That became even more evident Tuesday, as Pike was almost completely out of the loop during team drills. Pike took next to no snaps during full-team action, yielding his reps to Jimmy Clausen and Hunter Cantwell, who have alternated with the second and third teams throughout camp. He still threw in individual drills, but his inactivity was obvious to anyone who saw practice.

The move underscores how far behind the other three quarterbacks Pike actually is, for a number of reasons.

Running a spread offense and playing out of the shotgun was one thing. The two-plus weeks of June workouts he missed because Cincinnati is on the quarter system is another.

It's not as if the Panthers think he has no future, he just might need time to catch up. But at the moment, time in practice is something he's not getting enough of, as they've chosen to invest in the other two backups.

Fantasy Impact:

Barring injury,Matt Moore is the Panther's #1 QB at the junction of preseason.
