Why is somebody a 'homer' just because they're not mad about keeping a veteran QB? This notion that there's a quota for things you have to be frustrated with in order to be objective is bizarre.
For example, I'm frustrated that we haven't seriously address the backup QB position since Orton left. I was fairly vocal about it last offseason, especially, when we talked a big game about how important an upgrade that was going to be for us and then did almost nothing at all about it. Spending a bottom-4th rounder on a guy who'd never taken snaps under center was not a plan for bringing in a legitimate backup.
This year, although we now have a younger player who's somewhat more likely to stay healthy, it's *less* of an issue, but it's still been a glaring need. We did nothing about it during VFA, which was the time when this sort of thing ought to have been *****ed about in detail. Nothing we've seen in preseason was revelatory in any way. We knew what we had in Moore, and he went out and showed us again.
That said, having found Rush, it's no great leap to see why they want to have a veteran QB backup on the roster right now. And the cost is minor: a bottom of the roster spot. I just don't see what the big deal is for everybody. We're going to lose out on a Richard Ash or a Deji Olatoye or whatever. Big deal. We'll keep Moore active on game day instead of Rush. A complete non-issue unless he needs to play, in which case it's possibly only a deal for the remainder of one game. Also not the end of the world.
What's there to be all that upset about? The coaches, who've done a good job with Dak and Rush so far, want Moore around as well, at a relatively low cost. Ok. Let them have him.
