Some Boise folks really think Kellen Moore can lead us

[SuspectCorner]

the kid seems to see the field and can find the open man - but he just doesn't have the arm to drive the ball. that's one helluva Achilles heel.

3 picks tonight. That said: he looked better than Cassell FWIW

 

[CowboyStar88]

Only in Dallas can a QB throw 3 picks and the fans be happy and excited lol

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Hey he didnt look that bad IDK... Romo threw 3 INTs in his first game

 

[Hailmary]

I attribute the first one to nerves. The last was a hailmary. The second was probably the worst of the bunch.

 

[mattjames2010]

His stat line will make it seem like he was atrocious.

Look, the kid hasn't played in a big game since college. But he made some nice throws there at the end of the game, he's always had that "it" factor int he 4th. I start him the rest of the season to see if he's a viable backup.

I missed the game. How did the kid do?

Two bad reads that led to INTs, but made some clutch throws in the 4th. Sadly, our D did what it always does, breaking and allowing the opposing team to take the lead with very little time left on the clock after.

But was he able to get other WRs involved and move the chains? INTs will happen to rookies and he's already forgiven as far as I'm concerned.

I'm actually hoping we start Showers. Could it be worse?

Yep, Dez, Williams, Witten, and Beasley all came alive once he came in the game.

He provided a spark to the offense. All the receivers were in the game.
His release is quick and he will squeeze the ball into tight spaces.

Suddenly our offense had receivers that appeared to be open...

It was refreshing. INT suck but I saw enough to want to see more...

Showers has little to no upside at QB, Moore does.

 

[Pentagruel]

The Hail Mary shouldn't count against him but the first two picks weren't great. The first one was more difficult to see but the second pick was lousy. Despite that, he wasn't afraid to play proper football and he made numerous professional solid throws to move the chains, as well as a few excellent ones in tight coverage.

It's only one game but I don't think he will be a world beater, but I do think he can be a serviceable backup. That's actually a pretty big deal with Romo as your starting QB.

 

[Myboys]

Tiny, rag-armed QB who ran a college offense that didn't require progressive reads and doesn't work against NFL caliber defensive players.

And a better QB than Cassell.

That info hasn't been outdated. They only gave Kellen Moore's junior year and not his senior. His senior year's completion rating is 74.3%.

 

[DandyDon52]

The Cowboys won't put him in. No ways! If he succeeds it will make our FO and coaches look bad. Everyone will be asking why didn't we put him in earlier.

Well start asking they did it lol

He did real good for first game, against a tough jets defense.
plus he only had a few reps in practice this week.
last int was a hail mary that bryant made poor effort on. he went up with one hand ?? lol

Anyway I liked what I saw of moore sharp quick, and did not get rattled or look scared.
Will actually look forward to next 2 games just to see how moore does.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

My boyfriend's sister went to college with him. Says he's a good guy but no comment on whether he's a good qb.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Looked a hell of a lot better than Cassel or Weeden looked all season..................so there is that.
