Kellen Moore is a QB whisperer

but yet they were second in rushing, you play to your strengths

The Eagles have been top 5 in rushing DVOA every year since Hurts has taken over as starter, they were 6th this year. I wouldn’t say 6th is bad, but the Eagles have been a successful running team for years before he got there. They didn’t go from 18th or 22nd to 6th.

That’s not to say Moore can’t be successful here, I just think he has benefitted a lot from coaching teams/QB’s with talent rather than being some offensive savant. Besides, we aren’t looking for an OC, we’re looking for a HC.

Can he build a talented team and a winning culture from the ground up? That’s the ultimate mission, which goes beyond calling plays for already talented teams. The play calling will essentially take care of itself with the right players and team culture. Watch the Lions continue to cruise on offense and the Bears continue to struggle on offense even though Johnson moved from one team to another. I also expect the Eagles to field another top rushing team with Moore in another city.
