Do you honestly think they game planned for Kellen getting reps?....He may have taken 1st team reps.....but he was just following the game plan. Don't be surprised to see more shots down field next week.

If its more shots down the field, then you're looking at a 6-7int game. The guy is smart and knows the offense, he better he has had 4 yrs to learn it being inactive for 4 yrs. He has a quick release and is accurate 0-15 yrds. But if youre banking on down the field throws then idk what youre looking at because his long throws are more than likely int's. Just like last night. He didnt even have enough arm to loft the ball out of bounds on the Revis INT.

That trying to throw the ball out of bounds interception by Revis was tossed by Cassel. Moore threw interceptions down the middle, in the end zone, and on the hail mary.

That one TD and 3 interception and a 54 QB rating convinced me.
Dude is HOF material already.
Seriously though, there is a lil something to him. I'm glad he's at least getting some PT.

lol oh yeah forgot. Well theres not much difference in arm strength. Moore is just a guy this team threw in to get Cassell out of there. He isnt and shouldnt be in future plans.

Moore is the best QB we have right now. He's better than I thought he was but I thought he was on Cassel's level or worse. I don't think that anymore.

I have to mention that this team's ability to evaluate QBs is troubling.

Moore is definitely limited physically, but I think he could potentially be a decent backup for us. I'd give him these last two games to get a good evaluation.

I like the idea of keeping him around. Draft a QB, bring back Moore and Showers and actually have decent QB play in practice.

He wasn't a ton better, but his ceiling is a lot higher than Cassel's, with really no drop in floor. I would just roll with him the rest of the way.

This afternoon Brandon Weeden came into the game with Texans down 10-0 against the Colts and rallied his new team to a 16-10 victory. I can't believe the Cowboys let him go for Matt Cassel.

The Kellen Moore era has begun.

I know the numbers don't look great. He made a couple bad INTs....Locking onto WRs... But for the first time all season...(Including when Romo was healthy)...the offense looked capable of moving the football.

Considering he had limited snaps during the week....Moore made quick decisions. Knew where to go w/ the football.

And maybe most importantly...gave the team a spark....and hope.

I can't see anything but positives going forward. Give Kellen this week to learn from his mistakes....and he will. All things considered....He probably got maybe 30 snaps during the week to get ready...which is nothing. Not bad for a guy getting his first NFL action against a playoff contender that was desperate for a win.

Haters are gonna hate.

But he inspired the team tonight. And for those that can't see that he has the "IT" factor just don't understand football.

Bwahahahahahaha i knew there would be a thread like this after that game.

Moore might be better than Cassell but really, did people not see that noodle-arm on display? Also 3 picks with some horrible decision-making. "Moore era" haha. Enjoy it while it lasts, because in 2 more games it's going to be over.

Moore should start the rest of the year (i mean, why not? Might as well) but anyone thinking this guy has got anything is fooling themselves. He might be a smart QB, but with that lack of armstrength it's not even going to matter.

He should have broken the NFL int record. He was close. Had three but should have had two more. Given an entire game that record will fall. That being said he's better than I expected. I expected much worse. Like 5-6 ints and 2-3 fumbles so I'm pleasantly surprised.

A lot of Cowboys "fans" are talking about tanking for a higher draft pick.

But Kellen Moore finally has his opportunity to show that he could/should be a starter in the NFL. He is NOT going to tank for anybody and I wouldn't want him to. I don't think he's the solution, but I think he should be given every opportunity to do as well as possible. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

Pretty funny people just gotta keep taking their shots @ me.....Even when I'm proven right.:grin:

Oh Floaty I still remember your antics over at the ranch from the early 00's you'll never live those down. It's okay though

Let it go he is not coming back... Go buy your Texan WeDone jersey.

Seriously what is your facination with WeDone? I can't believe that dude has such a loyal fan.

Moderators changed the title......

I think there is @ least a QB controversy started. You tell me...An up and coming guy 26 years old...that sparked the team....vs a 35 year old guy that hasn't won squat...busted collar bone 4 times w/ various other serious injuries. I just don't trust Romo to get through a season anymore....Nor do I see any upside to Romo. It's gonna be all down hill from here. Give me the young guy that is hungry. He's just gonna get better once they start game planning to his strengths...

Ok, chief.

Moore is terrible. Has everyone completely lowered their standards this low? Kellen Moore won't be in this league in 2 years..
