Kellen Moore listed as No. 2 quarterback

[cowboyblue22]

it really don't matter which one is number 2 if dak goes down for a long period of time it will time to start the draft shows

 

[jwitten82]

Yes

Lol no it doesnt, Rush outplayed Moore and that should be the only thing that matters. Moore couldnt even take advatage of vanilla defenses in preseason but yet he gives us a better at winning than Rush does if Dak goes down? Lmao yea right

True, which is why you should at least see what Rush can do in that situation

I mean really, does anyone on this board think that Kellen Moore has any earthly idea what the NYG defense is lining up in........

I heard the same stuff last year with Dak.

Dak played in the SEC against Alabama and LSU. He had a ton of good experience to lean on. A ton of high pressure situations and great defenders and defensive coaches.

 

[robbieruff]

Appropriate. He plays like #2..... a steamin' pile of #2...

Probably every Coach in the NFL would prefer to sit a prodigy/project a year before putting them on the field.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Uhg. Moore did not earn the #2 spot. So annoyed.

If you think about it, the Cowboys have always been a team that's forced to make changes that are later deemed brilliant.

Dave 5-11 Campo .. Never understood the logic .. one 5-11 season, okay maybe .. a second one? time to look elsewhere. a third one? did they expect banging their head against the wall would work the third time?

Wade Phillips 1-7 start to the season .. it took a 1-7 record and an embarrassing loss on national TV for the Cowboys to make this change.

Romo? They had him sit on the bench for years. Even then, they waited too long into the season before they finally turned the team over to him.

Prescott? He's only our franchise quarterback because Romo and Moore were injured last year and even then, the plan well into the season was to still bring back Romo until Prescott kept winning making it hard for them to justify it. If Moore had not been injured, we would have been sitting at 0-8 and even then they would have turned the team back over to Romo when he returned.

Cooper Rush? He had to play almost perfect football just to make the roster and even then, they probably still thought about trying to sneak him on the practice squad.

Our front office and coaching staff get a lot of accolades, but the reality is that beyond the scouts, there's been very little unforced brilliance from the front office and coaching staff. I am not bashing them in general. I'm just saying that maybe they might want to be a little more open minded to changes and new players. We had a great team in 2014 with Romo and another one last year with Prescott, and we still haven't even made it to the NFC Championship game this century.

Moore couldnt handle preseason vanilla defenses but he gonna handle the Giants blitz? Lol

True. I do believe this is temporary. Once dudes start coming back from injury and suspension I think we see a change here by mid season, give or take.

Dak played in the SEC against Alabama and LSU. He had a ton of good experience to lean on. A ton of high pressure situations and great defenders and defensive coaches.

And who has Moore competed against?He's already proven he doesn't belong in the NFL. Does anyone actually think if he comes in we're going to win anything?

 

[jaybird]

I

its not a big deal, because if Dak goes down we're Scewed regardless. I feel bad for Rush, he earned it and his ceiling is 3x higher than noodle arm. How do you cut a player and then turn around and make him active ?

 

[Tabascocat]

Don't know why anyone is surprised, back when he was released I said he would be re-signed and be the back-up!

I don't understand the Cowboys fascination with certain players over the years. If said player can't play, no reason to keep him around

Moore is not a savvy vet, he is a never has been. Savvy vets are guys like Weeden, Fitz, Sanchez, etc who have been through the ringer. Moore has done nothing to get that label

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Absolutely he does. He will probably make the right play call and he may execute it. Rush won't make the proper play call more than likely.

He has just as much chance of making the right call as Moore does. For one thing he's more talented than Moore. The only thing Moore has going for him is he's been in the system longer but that sure hasn't helped him on the field.

 

[Setackin]

Neither is player A...

 

[Scotman]

I'm disappointed I scrolled this far down and didn't see the guy from The Office screaming, "NO!"

He's not being called on to start but backup so he would be sitting

Nothing savvy about Sanchez at all. Weeden?
