That Skin's game on Jan. 3 2016 .. When Kellen took over. We were hongry for a decent QB .... hope for the offseason.

"Moore was 3-of-7 for 25 yards with an interception and a lost fumble on a snap in the first quarter. He finished the game completing 33-of-48 passes for 435 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.

Cowboys behind 24-0 ... (!)

Whereupon - Kellen, a good man, deeked and dunked and finished the game with above numbers. The Skins were giving up the check down.

Kellen was 3rd string at detroit, which is why they cut him in favor of Dan Orlovsky.

And why maybe when 53 is cut down, there may be a greater QB on the streets than Kellen or Cooper.

Well I hope we keep Cooper.

Apologies to everybody who knew the above already, I'm trying to decide between being quiet, or getting another beer.

33 of 48 for 435 is over 13 yards per completion. That's not really dink and dunk.

I'm not a big fan of Moore but much of what is being claimed by fans is wrong.

The other claim that his issue is all about arm strength, but in reality this preseason lack of arm strength has not really been his primary issue. He has has many issues but arm strength just hasn't been a major factor.

I was at that game. The Commanders had pulled back defensively pretty significantly. They played very soft in coverage, and by the second half, had liberally rotated in a lot of reserves. During the competitive phase of the game, the Cowboys were collectively awful, and Moore didn't stand out in any way.
