A question about Kellen Moore

[Clove]

That's Linehan's boy, that's why he's here. At the end of the season, send them both along together.

How about right handed desk or writing in a binder??

Writing is a daily struggle haha

Ink and lead on the bottom of our hands is absolutely a common experience, eh?

I used to sketch for a company several years ago and they hired me because of my blending.
My "blending" was my damn hand rubbing the canvas as I was sketching! LOL!

They're not people..........They're aliens.

Phone home!

 

[Corso]

As a lefty... Yeah. About the 1st part.
Scissors still confound me!

Learning basketball... guitar... piano... changing diapers - everything! We are the minority that nobody cares about. No hate, but barely anything to help them.
That's why we all became inherently genii.
Well... I like to think so anyway.

@Nightman knows.

Let me start by saying I am NOT here to knock Kellen, just to ask a legit question. Does the fact that he is left handed make it slightly harder for him to work on certain things with Dak? Obviously it doesn’t factor into the mental side of being a QB coach, things like recognizing defenses, checking out of a play etc. but what about the physical side of things? For example, working on your footwork during the drop back, or trying to work out kinks in Daks throwing motion. A left hander and a right hander would be doing these things in opposite directions, just seems like it would be a little harder than watching someone who throws with the same arm as you and trying to mirror their movements.

It actually makes it easier to coach since the player can look right at you as you demonstrate and they mimic.... just like a Lefty swing coach in golf

With Right coaches they are looking at your back as you move

Lefty's Rule @Corso

As a lefty I always go by this

Since the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. Then lefty’s are the only ones in their right minds.

I am prescient.

Then you're probably awesome.

Long distance rates are high.

So I will have to use my intergalactic cell

Neat trick

I got all As but a C in Handwriting because of the smudging

I dont think kellen or anyone on the team works with dak on the mechanics and some other stuff.
I think kellen just helps him understand the defense's and the plays he is to run.

So, it’s just a simple misunderstanding about how the team works with Dak you think? And about the fact that Dak has actually progressed this season instead of regressing at all?

The fact is, none of us has any idea whatsoever how Moore works compared to how Wilson worked. Or what he can or can’t do that a more experienced availble position coach might have done. We do know he’s a favorite of his bosses’, that people have been saying he was born to be an offensive coach for years, and that Dak himself is on the record as having been all-in on Moore’s selection. That our HC and OC were both QBs when they played.

I just don’t see how anybody can think we don’t have enough QB experience around Dak on this coaching staff.

If they had hired my mom as QB coach, I could say "none of us has any idea whatsoever how my mom works compared to how Wilson worked".

Dak has improved with play *during* the season. The time for the QB coach to coach Dak up from his regression last year was in the offseason. Clearly didn't happen.

"enough QB experience"
We had *more* QB experience in 2017 when Dak cratered. That *more* wasn't enough. Then all we did in the offseason was remove the guy with the best career as a QB and QB coach. We fired the most credible QB coach on the team and promoted a QB coach with no credibility.

Yeah, they all think he's another boy genius like Garrett. Great. Given Garrett's tenure, that's not a plus in my book. We didn't need a boy genius QB coach trainee for Dak. We needed the best QB coach available. That Moore was that the best available doesn't pass the laugh test.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Hire Romo as QB coach and get on with it .

Tony believes he coached himself up and figured out how to QB. It would be great for him to coach Dak in the offseason. I do wonder if he really wants to coach up his replacement, though.

I'd like to see Tony run a QB school in the offseason. I bet he'd be good at it. Even if he's not, it gives him a chance to interact with a crop of young QBs. That would be good for his career as an announcer.

 

[Doomsay]

It's hate for management promoting a guy with no experience for the most important job of the offseason - developing our regressing QB.

Well said, the posed question was stupid.

The fact that you can’t tell the difference between the job Kellen Moore is doing from the job your mom might do is not a point in your favor. It just highlights that you’re hating without knowing. Which is my point.

Do you have trouble brushing your teeth or hair in the mirror? What about shaving? That guy in the mirror does everything opposite of you too. See what I'm getting at. Shut up.

Really? You need to look in the mirror to brush your teeth? Sounds like maybe you’re the one who should shut up.
