Kellen Moore listed as No. 2 quarterback

[Sydla]

Based on what?

The fact is that 31 teams could have , and didn't.

Bear that in mind.

The Cowboys cut their "#2 quarterback" because they knew nobody else would touch him. To keep their "#3 quarterback safe.

That's not 'shrewd maneuvering', that's an indictment of your decision-making.

LOL.

Yep.

We cut a guy because we knew the rest of the league probably liked Rush more than Moore. There was no chance Moore was getting picked up on waivers.

 

[Stash]

What other teams have landed Romo, Prescott, and Rush with only a single 4th-round compensatory pick?

I'd say they know what they're doing.

That has zero to do with Kellen Moore. Nothing. And keep in mind that these same geniuses thought Weeden and Cassel could get the job done too.

 

[Sydla]

What does the FO finding Rush have to do with the fact they have a soft spot for a terrible QB?

 

[Stash]

LOL.

Yep.

It's undeniable.

The fact is that the guy was a free agent this offseason that anyone could have signed. Nobody gave the slightest bit of interest. And he cam back to Dallas for the absolute lowest contract the team could pay him. The absolute lowest. There can be no lesser interest in a player than that.

He wants to broad brush paint it as if they're infallible in this area and beyond question.

Fail.

 

[Stash]

Lol no, he's none of those guys

I'll take Brian Hoyer over noodle arm so fast it'll make your head spin

So would every team in the NFL.

The 31 who spat this runt back at the Cowboys and said "yeah, no thanks!"

This pretty much tops off the whole off-season for me.

After last season, I have to give them the benefit of the doubt....but barf.

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.

So tell us, Stash, who all the backup quarterbacks in the league are that are better than Weeden and Cassel.

About 10 teams in the NFL don't even have a STARTING quarterback.

I look at this Kellen Moore re-signing and the Chaz Green at left guard talk and have to scratch my head.

Believe me, I give them credit for a ton of great offseason moves, but these two just look dumb.

As soon as you tell me the other teams who cut their number two quarterback?

You start answering me, I'll start giving you answers.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

It is kind of comical that fans here think they know better than the coaches and would just love to throw their FA QB that played in FCS to the wolves on opening day against one of the best defenses in the NFL!

BUt you guys know better I guess......

I doubt there is one coach in the NFL, that if given another option would choose to put Rush in.

We've seen teams hesitant to play first round Qbs ( some top 10 picks ) .......just don't see an NFL coach trusting ANY rookie free agent with a primary backup.

LOL, I'll explain the obvious to you.

Other teams didn't land a diamond in the rough in free agency like Cooper Rush, so they didn't have to make that decision.

Check and mate.

 

[Redball Express]

LOL. Garrett and Linehan can't help themselves.

I think we know why here.

They want to use the whole playbook incase..

Rush cant do that.

Keep telling yourself that.

While you avoid the actual answer!

Neither can Moore.

Sorry, buddy. You got torched.

 

[lostar2009]

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

You can't tel these ppl much. Some are worst than JJ.

 

[Stash]

Sorry, buddy. You got torched.

Keep telling yourself that.

You look like a ******* ******* here.

You are alone.

 

[erod]

Neither can Moore.

Neither could Dak last year.

Moore can use it, he just has limitations as to what throws he's comfortable with.
