Softening My Stance on Kellen "The Hammer" Moore

I am warming up to the idea that Kellen "The Hammer" Moore might be developing into a great play caller. He continues to get in a groove with Dak (MVP candidate and rightfully so) and our offense is cooking! I do want to see us beat some great teams but the arrow is pointing up and I love what I have seen this season from Moore.

The end game for me will always be winning a divisional round game but for now, this is a Cowboys team with the arrow pointing UP!

And the most important point is that we don't know what Dak's ceiling is! He is playing at an even higher level than the past two seasons and he continues to improve. Dak is in the process of competing for MVP and his leadership is something we haven't seem here in Dallas maybe going all the way back to Aikman.

It hard to let go of the single wing.....

Brady has a history, a long history of playing QB at an elite level. Conversely, KMoore became our O-Coordinator with no history, good or bad so yes color me skeptical when a guy with no winning track record (no O-coordinator track record at all lol) has to prove his worth over the course of more than a few games or a single season.

He’s been an increasingly hot commodity since his first game at OC. He got a HC interview after his 2nd year as a coordinator. He’s already one of the hottest off-season HC candidates in the league for next season after week 5.

If it’s just now dawning on you that he might be developing into a play caller, you’re about three seasons behind.

So the whole premise on your post is you'll believe he's a successful coordinator after he's become a successful coordinator. Ground breaking stuff.

Nope, I said I am coming around on a green O-coordinator with no track record of winning important/big games (i.e., playoffs) and am cautiously optimistic. That's pretty simple to understand.

I prefer our top brass hire credentialed o-coordinators with a winning track record instead of hiring former Cowboy players with zero coaching experience and let them learn on the job. Jerry could have hired a top notch O-coordinator but opted to hire a former Cowboy player with no experience.

Trying to recall a press conference in which the Clapper spoke about finding weak spots in the defense. Ahh.. nope. Just line up and execute.

Garrett never had a wallet, nevermind a bag.

I should start a series of "My slightly football illiterate wife says" because I post her gametime quips so often.

The relevant one for this thread...

My wife to me around the 4th Quarter "It seems so odd to go so many games and not hear you screaming about the play calling"

Under Garrett, Moore was trash. New mentor, better results. McCarthy's game management can rub some the wrong way, but his positives out weigh his negatives. By far.

Those of us familiar with Kellen's Boise State years find none of his current success as a surprise. Go watch the zany plays BSU ran. His 50-3 college career record speaks for itself. Kellen's football IQ has been a known commodity for a very long time. It's just taken a very long time for the rest of the football world to catch up.

I would rather you just admit you were wrong. This notion that he was bad before and is suddenly developing into greatness is laughable. Moore has been great from the start. It was even more obvious previously when we had tons of injuries and the Cowboys were the #1 offense in NFL history with Dak last year.

Dak has been a great leader since day #1 and has always been great here. Looks like you were wrong on both counts.

Roy, have you been reading all of Art’s posts to definitely say he was not a Dak fan before? Because this member has been a Dak fan for a long time. I’ve seen his posts saying it.

Are you ready to say you were wrong, lol?

What we’re seeing is the fact that Garrett DID INDEED HAVE HIS HANDS IN THE PLAY CALLING LAST SEASON.

Agree Moore was always good he had to deal with injuries & Dak missed most of the season last year.

Not to mention freckled interference and/or poor performance by the players.

Sounds like a hater to me. Never read anything else by him.

I might be naïve but I think MM has helped Moore tremendously. It's like a father/son type of situation. Let me just believe that.
