Can confirm former Boise State and Detroit QB Kellen Moore is headed to Dallas.

edit practice squad

Yes! Hope it's true.

 

[Common Sense]

Huh. That's interesting.

They want Moore over Austin, or even Cassel?

For practice squad.

He had two years with Linehan I think. That could be a big reason.

[ghst187]

he was an severely underestimated over-achiever QB in college, really smart QB, at least in college. Not sure about his arm, but at least it always seemed he knew WHERE to throw the ball.
Interesting pickup.

For practice squad.

The rumor was that there were going to be two QBs on the practice squad. Everyone just assumed that one of them would be Vaughn.

Moore will eventually become a coach - he's that smart about the game.

Perhaps, on the PS, he can help provide extra tutoring for Jameill Showers.

This is something that is constantly undervalued by fans. Having smart players around helps teach other players how to be smart about the game. I would rather have a guy like Moore on the practice squad than some big armed brute who offers nothing in the locker room or on the sideline.

We love us some Boise State.

Don't ask me what he brings to the table as a PS player other than he is better than Vaughan.

So, Im in Boise, have seen all of his college games, junior and senior year at home in person, and watched his preseason appearances for the Lions. I may be a little biased, but this is a great signing and eventually will push Weeden off the roster. Moore does not have a strong arm, but he is everything else you want in a QB. He is Brees-ish. He is so smart, reads the defense right, looks off the safety, and throws his receivers open with anticipation. He is an ideal #2 QB. Unlike Weeden, he will come in for a game or two, and will win you those games because he is so well-prepared and does not make mistakes. It only helps that he played for Linehan for two years in Detroit. Topping off a great offseason for this FO...

I think he is the perfect back up. I would not him to be a full time starter, but he can learn the offense on limited reps and he is accurate. He reminds me of Jason Garrett.

So, he's the next Jason Garrett?

Would not shock me that if he becomes our backup until we draft a real heir, and then he becomes the tutor-in-player for that guy.
