Signed by Cowboys Cowboys Re-Sign QB Kellen Moore

[jwitten82]

So much for competition

 

[Stash]

OK, I just got off the phone with my attorneys and they just informed me that Beavis and Butthead Avatars are allowed to chastise on the Internet but South Park Avatars are not. I'll stop as soon as I get the Fedex of legal documents to sign.

Fine. Keep getting abused then. Your choice.

Too funny, he was cut for one day in a roster move and you have absolutely no clue what the league interest in him would be if he was actually available. Those aren't facts, they are just wishful thinking on your part to justify a preset opinion. And its an opinion that the coaches who were right about Dak Prescott disagree with.

Come on.

You know, deep down, that there was probably not much interest in him league wide, especially for a team to add him to their 53 man roster.

The idea that Moore could help us in a starting qb role is laughable. If we have to rely on him the season is over. We've seen that movie before.

Linehan knows the offense better than anyone. Do you want him to be our QB#2?

Knowing the offense doesn't necessarily mean you can run the offense. Moore may know where to throw the ball but he can't make the throw due to his physical limitations.

I don't care.

Who's the backup in Green Bay? Seattle? New York? Philly? Atlanta?

Same goes for Rush.

Same goes for Rush.

I respect it and disagree with it. But kudos for your civility.

I understand. I mean, Cowboy Fans should understand the Pro's and Con's of both approaches better then any other Fan Base in the NFL. It's interesting because we've enjoyed success with both really.

Tom Landry believed in QBs sitting and learning. He had Roger Staubach on the bench for bejesus sakes. LOL.....

We had Jimmy who believed in throwing them out there and letting them sink or swim. He did it with Troy and won back to back championships.

We've had Tony who waited his time and learned under Parcells. He turned out great. We saw Dak step in last year and tear the league up, on his way to ROY.

We are truly a spoiled bunch Stash. LOL.........

We truly are. We've had some downs like Quincy and Tony Banks and that run, but they're few and far between compared to the rest of the league.

Spoiled like you said.

And now, we could be again, not only with our starter, but in finding a quality backup too.

 

[erod]

This team would go 2-14 this season with Cooper Rush.

He's a promising lad, but he's not ready for a real defensive gameplan to stop him. He can't read NFL defenses. He doesn't know yet how to change protections or adjust routes at the line of scrimmage. He doesn't know how to audible to a defense's weakness.

Right now, he looks great just gripping and ripping in a scrimmage against backup players without a gameplan.

Everything changes when the season starts.

It's funny you say this. I was at my Brother's house on Sunday and we were rewatching the Oakland Pre Season game. He said to me, "Who ever the Cowboys have evaluating these QBs, they better be paying him stupid good. He's finding guys in the 4th round or not even drafted and they are turning into players!"

It's looking that way. Scouts, coaches, whoever. They're getting something right lately. And just two years prior they had zero answers outside of Romo. Wasting time on Weeden, Cassel, and Dustin Vaughn.

What a difference!

Fingers crossed right?!

It's obvious you don't care about the Cowboys. Why are you wasting time on a forum about a team you don't care about?

Yup, no offensive talent to play with.

No kidding. Between Romo and Dak (and who knows, maybe now Rush) we've spent less and gotten more out of three QB position than any team I can remember. At least since the Rams pulled in Warner and Green. Though I think even Green cost them in FA when they brought him in.

And to think we had long debates about the team's ability to develop QBs at all just last season. Silly, in retrospect, given what we did with Tony Romo and the fact that we had three former QBs on staff.

Their success in this area alone is the main reason I'm happy to give them whatever leeway they want in terms of roster positions to develop Cooper Rush.

The reality is that coaches get favorites. Even the best coaches sometimes develop soft spots for certain guys and often times, that can cloud rational thinking.

I think Linehan and Garrett have a soft spot for Moore. They like his attitude, his smarts, etc. I think they weigh that more heavily than the fact he simply can't make NFL throws.

If Prescott were to get hurt on the first drive of the Giants game, for example, we'd be screwed. But our chances of winning that game would be higher with Rush than Moore. Because at least Rush could test the Giants down the field, Moore could not.

That's exactly right.

All this hatred of the Moore signing... I think it's way overboard.

If the Cowboys think he can add value... I'm good with it based on a number of reasons that you touched upon.

I think everybody knows what the deal is. I wish the guy were a better player, too, but having a stop-gap veteran backup while you develop a rookie free agent is not exactly an earth shattering tactic here.
