Kellen Moore

[TrailBlazer]

He holds the ball too long because that is how the play is designed. Our plays takes too long too develop.

Yes but Tony also holds the ball and tries to extend plays. This offense ran by JG has never seemed QB friendly to me. Often chaotic and lacking rhythm.

Tottally I agree with you that Tony holds it too long as well. Just that Garrett could do so much more to help Tony by moving him around more like roll outs, use Bryant better like moving him presnap, more shorter routes, slants, rub routes, etc.

The offensive is very chaotic and lacking rhythm because of its design. Thats all Garrett and I can't phantom why he is so resistant to change. It would actually help out Romo and probably extend his NFL shelf life.

So, just playing Devil's Advocate here, let's say they go with your plan and start Cassel for the next two games. If they win both games, which we all know is unlikely, their slim playoff hopes would still be alive and I can't see them switching to Moore. I think the change only comes if and when we are mathematically eliminated.

I agree with your suggestion. My assumption is this train wreck of a season will continue to slide down the mountain, throwing passengers down the valley.

You dont need to play him to know that hes not the answer.

 

[DandyDon52]

A lot of people want to harp on his lack of height and arm strength and not focus on his strengths of reading defenses and making anticipatory throws. Although not a mobile QB, I think he can move enough to not be a statue (like Romo). He's also more suited to change the call at the line (if the coaches allow which they probably won't) than Cassel or Weeden ever was. He just sounds like a technically sound kid that you can win with in this league (as a backup).

Well coach jerry said cassel would start rest of season lol. So unless he gets hurt no moore

What if Moore is actually, you know, pretty good?

We know we are going to lose every game with Cassel and his noodle arm, why would we want to risk messing that up? Worst thing in the world would be for Moore to come in and win the last 2 or 3 games and totally f'up our draft.

If wanting to lose out makes me a bad fan so be it, I would much rather be a bad fan picking in the top 5 than a good fan picking 15.

Moore will not see the field unless Cassel goes down, bank on that. Garrett is resistant to change and that would be to big a move for him.

JAG....

[cowboyuptx]

I honesty was thinking we should let Moore play for the rest of the season to see if we have something there. Also I don't mind losing out to get a high draft pick. Nothing is worst then missing the playoffs and having a 14-20 draft pick. What is your thoughts on that?

I think we need to roll with Cassel until we're mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, which shouldn't take long anyway...

Moore would give me a reason to sit through these games

I'd start all the young guys we have. If Green is still alive, start him. See what Turbin can do with a higher workload. Give Escobar more snaps, see how Heath plays as a starter. Start evaluating these guys for next year.

I'd be inclined to bench Dez due to his piss poor attitude, still not being in shape, and his lack of focus along with increasingly bad attitude.

That's true. However, it sure would be nice to know if he's worth keeping next year.

And hell, what if he plays REALLY well? It won't happen, but what if? This year is lost, but having a young guy who is actually decent? That'd be nice.

Didn't Brady have a "noodle" arm and no one thought he would be anything in the Nfl until he got his chance. I'm not saying Moore would be anything like Brady but you give him a chance to prove he isn't the next Brady

I don't have a problem starting Moore, but Moore has a true "noodle" arm. Brady and Cassle aren't QBs I'd label having noodle arms.

me too,
but ol jerrah thinks cassel will fill more seats !
I think either one we will win 1 or 2 more games.

I would like to see moore have one game at least.
hey bring tanney back !!!!!

 

[mahoneybill]

Not sure he's the answer, but all I know is that Matt Cassel isn't either. Let the young guys play and see if they have a future with this team. 12-4 was a mirage. We're staring at 3-13 again.

Down by 2 scores or more in the 4th, we better start seeing him. Best way to see what he can do under pressure....

mathematically eliminated??

 

[DallasCowpoke]

I see Moore as being on-par w/ say a Colt McCoy w/ a few less inches in height. Smart players. Accurate arms. Coaches sons w/ brothers who are talented athletes too. Would have to out work everyone else to be long-term starter and only in the right system.

 

[Doomsay]

But what if he's actually better than Cassel?? I say stick with our winning (losing) formula.

Shouldn't be too hard with gamblin' Garrett at the helm

LOL
