Broaddus: Starting to look like coaches plan on Kellen Moore as #2 QB

[Bullflop]

Sheesh -- I'm hoping Broaddus is seriously mistaken about this one and the FO decides to put someone reasonably capable in place to compete with him.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

From what I've heard, Jalen Ramsey is a rare, special talent. And Marcus Peters last year proved rookie corners can be interception machines; and guys like Darrelle Revis and Patrick Peterson were difference makers right away too.

The Cowboys got it all wrong in 2012 with Mo Claiborne; but they shouldn't let that scare them if Ramsey is somehow still there at #4.

Special as a non playmaker.

Quarterbacks get paid. Even crappy ones. See Ryan Tannehill, Sam Bradford, and Nick Foles.

E You picked all starters who had been drafted to lead franchised despite how asinine those teams might have been. Chase and Colt where never drafted to do much of anything

 

[DandyDon52]

Drafting a QB is not about winning now. It's about having a QB when romo is gone. No single pick is going to put this team over the top and make them SB contenders so why not fix the QB spot while you have a chance

The problem is the # 4 pick gets a high minimum contract. So for a player who may not play if Romo holds up, your paying him a lot of $
to sit on bench.
If Tony goes down it is worth it, if he is good, but if tony doesnt miss many games, then it isnt.

Trading down might not be a bad idea.

Kellen with more work and attention. is a ok bkup. He now has game experience and the coaches can look at his film.

I think cowboys want a impact player for 2016 if they use the #4 pick.

Just wait until Showers is promoted to QB3 if you think people will be mad now.

 

[Teague31]

I'm fine with it. A better backup QB isn't going to make a difference if we don't significantly upgrade the defense. That's where the $ and draft picks need to go

last year the back up qb was the problem, the defense held up in most games until the end.

You know there's a lot of truth to that.

I'm not saying Moore would be the best option as the #2 QB, but I didn't think the kid was a car-wreck. I disliked the picks (of course), but he commanded the offense much better than Cassel or Weeden. Moore doesn't have the arm strength, but he a quick release.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I hope this is a joke. A CRUEL joke. I'm fine with not drafting a guy with the #4 pick but don't tell me you can't find SOMEONE in any of those other 6 rounds or in free agency.

Yeah I mean I think we need to shore up that defense but let's don't act like the defense is why we lost. The defense kept us in games. We need playmakers so we don't lose by a last second touchdown. But if we had a offense that defense would've been good enough last season. People don't need to forget that. The team was losing games 7-6.

I don't think McCoy or chase are much of a step up over a Moore if they are a step up at all.

However if they keep him as backup without signing another vet... That would tend to indicate drafting a QB and maybe in the first even if Jerry is saying otherwise.

Now if Jerry decides to go into the season with Moore as backup and does not draft one of the top three QBs.... This team will get what it deserves and Jerry will have nobody to blame but himself.

Frankly... If Tony goes the next three years without missing multiple games in multiple seasons it will not be due the Cowboys planning it will be due to good dumb luck.

 

[Risen Star]

It should concern anyone with a functional brain.

When hit with bad news it's better to enjoy your expectations of the native's reactions.

Deflect, deflect, deflect. Disperse. Nothing to see here.

 

[brymatt94]

Just because they see Moore as the #2 doesn't mean they won't draft someone to groom. If it's in the mid to late rounds it would make sense that Moore is still the back-up. The rookie needs to develop.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

No it didn't.

The defense set a record for fewest turnovers in history.

That isn't "holding-up". That's never giving your offense a chance at easy points.

Man, our defense catches a break from our fans. Why is that?

I love watching games when we've got a dominating defense, and it's been forever since that was the case. Now, QB2 was a huge issue for us last season, too, but it was hardly alone on the list of problems we had. Too few playmakers on either side of the ball. Our top 2 on offense were sidelined (3, really, sadly, when you think about Dunbar going out as our biggest playmaker up until the Saints game). And then a catastrophically bad year in terms of our ability to take the football away from anybody. Miserable.

 

[Sydla]

I mean this is even dumber than "Romo will play for 4-5 years".

The front office has to blowing smoke here. I don't believe it. Weeks ago the Jones were talking about fixing the backup QB position and now today the solution has been Kellen Moore all along?

LOL. Sure.

I get the argument for an instant impact player. I just think unless you plan on being back picking in the top 5 in the next couple years then you get one when you can. Yes it's expensive, but it's money not draft picks and we have plenty of money and say you go 8-8 the year you have no choice but get a QB and maybe have to start him, what's that gonna cost in the way of draft picks. You can manipulate the money side of the nfl but the draft is what it is
That's my thinking anyways though I get the other side of the argument

 

[waving monkey]

No body knows what the plans are including Broaddus
yet some are getting their panties in a wad, perfect

 

[Rogerthat12]

This will get the natives restless.

Floaty is in sweet bliss....
