Moore is still a decent backup. Him and most of the other backups all have some type of limitation in the nfl. Thats why they are backups. I never get my hopes up on a backup QB winning games because in cases of history they lose you more games than win. Moral of the story is Dak needs to stay healthy. I feel like he will because hes a strong dude. He has the body to take the hits.

I think some people have inflated expectations

After tonight's performance the qb controversy is officially dead. It really never even got started or was thought of except for someone on this board.

I get that people like to poke fun at the guy for his weak arm but to say he sucks is just ignorant. He is able to anticipate when and where to throw the ball and the placement is usually pretty good. Yes, his skillset less than ideal but as long as he can drive to offense down the field (which he has shown he can do) that's all I care about.

I think his arm has gotten even worse. He seemed really late on some of his throws because they hang in the air forever. Even the short passes don't have much zip to them. We need more real competition at the backup QB position.

I was hoping we could get Cardale Jones after the Bills released him. But that didn't happen.

Yeah, too bad we don't have an AWESOME backup QB like... um, well... wait, does Hasselbeck still pl... hmm, no...

Let me get back to you guys on this.

Stephen Jones said they will be drafting more QBs going forward. With good reason IMO. We should all hope Dak stays as health as he did last year.

I disagree, he sucks. He throws like my 5 year old son did before I corrected his throwing motion.

Moore has one awkward release, but he did have 4 or 5 nice throws. In particular the two longer ones to Butler. It's funny while watching the game I thought Gabbert looked like the superior player, but then looking at the stat line it was pretty close. We're probably over crticial of him and I believe Moore is stil a servicable backup. Especially I if you surround him with more talent.

Those evaluating Rush he definitely throws with more zip, but wouldn't put him ahead of Moore.
