Rapoport: Cowboys considering bringing in Jon Kitna to work with QBs

[Stash]

He played on some terrible Seahawk and Bengal teams.

QBs can play well on bad teams right?

So hard to define on this board. Cowboys lose, we get hella excuses for Dak here.

4-5 here as well.

Was it always a "bad team" excuse for his entire career?

50-74 is not "good", it's awful.

Just me but I honestly think some fans confusing Moore's ability as a player with that as coach. Remember he was only mock as a player for his lack of arm strength. No one ever questioned his knowledge of the game. In fact, didn't Dak say he was the smartest player in the room his knowledge of X/Os. His dad was a coach and he played in a wild open offense. I know I'm a huge minority on this but I'd love to see what he can do. Young, motivated, knowledgable......probably state up all night designing plays.

They love their ex-lions and Bengals don’t they.

It’s always someone that comes from those garbage organizations to coach our team.

Who has said he’s coaching the team? Having him “work with” QBs doesn’t even sound like more than just a consultant, yet the imagination of this board has run wild.

Kitna’a record as a QB doesn’t have anything to do with his ability or inability to coach.

I honestly don’t know if he would be a good QB coach or not, but discussing his career results as a player is almost meaningless as to whether or not he would be a good coach.

The nfl is riddled with coaches who weren’t very good as players.

I wouldn’t be against Kitna being a QB coach. He might end up being good at the job.

yu wont convince those who simply want to complain to hear their own voice..they have zero idea of who is good or bad even with players..they assume a lot and instead of being positive , even after finally SL being let go and they argue over whos decision it was and why, now already griping about who possibly could be the replacement..its so tdious coming in here sometimes..just a ball of negativity..

This means nothing if you hire Moore as OC.

I like this if we sign a good OC

Exactly right. If playing ability were the key factor in whether a person would be a good coach, Kitna would be an elite coaching candidate compared the overwhelming majority of coaches. Aside from that, I don’t see why people are worked up anyway. For all we know he may just be a consultant of some kind.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Would love the Kina move also.....he's a natural leader. Talk to some former players who were on the team the few games replaced an injured Romo. They loved him, not just offensive player but defensive also. Remember reading an article of him playing cards with players on both sides of the ball.

We all either know or have heard backup players are some the best coaches in NFL.

Kitna is getting his first stint as an OC with the San Diego Fleet.

Yeah we can't compete with that.

 

[Gaede]

Kitna as QB coach is a good move.

Hopefully it doesn't mean Moore as OC.

I can't lie though, I would be excited to see someone so completely unproven run our offense. It would be, at the very least, interesting.

 

[Buzzbait]

It is from Crap-report and people are freaking out.

However, I can see this as a huge plus. If Kitna can help the QB's, something Moore did not do. Note...I said "did" not do, for the Moore fans. not "could" not do....meaning, he his still learning. So learn from Kitna. Let Moore do his film processing as I been hammered about that is his only job.

Any way, I think it would be great. Then hire an OC from the outside still.
Maybe the OC they have in mind suggested to bring in Kitna. As I said the other day, a new OC may want his own guy to help.

Kitna would've been a smarter idea than K. Moore from the very beginning, and still would.

Exactly. Success in the league as a player has nothing to do with success as a coach. Some can do, others can teach. Few can do both.

To think that Kitna would be a better QB coach than Moore because he was a better NFL QB is pretty laughable.

We don’t even know what “this” is at the moment.

 

[Risen Star]

I'm actually open minded to Moore as the new OC but I know that will be the excuse every time Prescott struggles. Teh scheme and all that.

 

[Typhus]

Then this team is more dysfunctional than we want admit.

Watch Netflix.. Bloodline

 

[khiladi]

Yeah we can't compete with that.

I didn’t even know about this league that starts for the first time this February, but apparently it has a lot of major NFL names affiliated with it, including guys like Polian and is also affiliated with CBS.

If he’s being brought on board, it’s probably some advisory role. Ian Rappaport looks like he’s trying to sound like he has major inside sources, while reflecting how ignorant he is. If the staff is set, this would mean Moore is QC so him proposing Kitna as a QC is absurd. On the other hand, Litna coming back does reflect just another “Garrett guy” being brought back, meaning this guy and organization clearly has no real direction. How exactly is moves like this supposed to help Dak when the offense back then was a “downfield” and “outside the hashes-inward” is just comical.

This organization is a cluster F of scape-goading in particular. Now we are supposed to believe they started adding Moore’s and the TE coach (all Linehan guys BTW) input into playcalling at the end of the year to put the blame all on Linehan, all because of a Giants game where they rested Zeke in a meaningless game and were clearly just trying to get reps for Dak.

If they made Moore OC, JJ will have gone off the deep end, and SJ will need to call the men in the little white coats to take JJ away.

Mike Martz is the head coach of that team. I believe Hines Ward is involved with them too.

 

[khiladi]

Jason Garrett got the OC role while only being a QB coach. Might as well try Moore now... can’t be any worse than Garrett was...
