And now the Jets are parting ways with WR Eric Decker, sources tell ESPN. Have told WR they either will release or trade him this week.

Backup quarterbacks are irrelevant.

Actually, crappy backup QBs are why we have Zeke.

But I'd hate for Matt Cassel 2 to cost us a week 13 win and the playoffs if it's that tight.

 

[erod]

Wut?

So if (heaven forbid) Dak goes down for a couple games in weeks, say, 13 and 14, that position is irrelevant?

Other than New England, tell me who has a backup QB that's worth a crap.

Miami, Washington, Houston, Chicago, Jacksonville, New York, Philly. All have Back-ups who could win a few games off the top of my head.

Add Bengals to that list.

@erod, you're vastly undervaluing the backup QB position. Moore is not the answer.

What??? No Boise State bashing?

Gonna laugh when he signs and everybodies darling Xavier Woods is history....Heck I'd take both he and Duke Williams over Woods....

But leave it to to mess up the guys name..

Hey Floaty, what do you think of Kellen Moore as the back up? Should he be starting, off the team, or is that his right spot on the roster?

Trouty...Moore is a 3rd stringer at best!!

He's probably good where he is @ for now....And in all honestly....he's really never got a fair shot to show what he can do. That 3 game tryout he had in 2016 was a joke as the team had quit a month earlier. But even then he showed he could move an offense w/ consistancy. He did have 2 mis-reads vs the Jets that was on him. I'm sure the speed of the game probably caught him off guard...since he basically sat on the bench all year. You just can't duplicate live speed in practice. Especially in Dallas ...where the statues quo is 3/4 speed and avoid injury. I still think he is so under-rated. Sure he doesn't have the physical measurables....but you can't measure heart...and knowledge...able to handle pressure. If it wasn't for the freak injury...he may very well be the starting QB now. There wasn't anything Prescott did last year..that Kellen couldn't do...

Thanks for the reply, Floaty.

Yeah Trouty...Moore has more potential than Prescott.

Now that's funny...but I never said that.

 

[haleyrules]

Now that's funny...but I never said that.

. He could probably work a bit on his footwork...maybe consider an arm transplant!

 

[Sarge]

Nassib is a name I remember being thrown around here the year he got drafted. Anyone know the 4-1-1 why he didn't stick with NYG?

Because he is absolutely AWFUL.

 

[Trouty]

Because he is absolutely AWFUL.

I'm OK with Moore for this season.

I would consider a mid round pick on a QB next year, however.

I really don't trust Moore in a high leverage, one or two game stretch, but hopefully we never find out, X.

I would like to see us use one of those fourths on a QB if there's one there, or just snag one up early in FA in the $4-6 mil AAV range (2-3 years).

With Dak and the way this org is headed, it's high time we get a decent, mainstay backup that we know can at least drive the bus if **** hits the fan and Dak goes down for a game or two.
