Closer look at Kellen Moore in the NFCCG today (3 Viewers)

[Snakehead]

The Philly offense hasn’t done anything but ride Barkley behind the talented OL. Jalen Hurts has even taken a step back in terms of progression that his own WR’s were disgruntled this season.

Moores stint last year with the Chargers was nothing to ride home about either.

I just don’t see why Moore should be chosen over McCarthy if the two are both viable options.

Is that on Moore or the RB playing QB?

 

[REBELMAX]

I'm guessing Moore is their potential first choice since they want to interview him as soon as Monday even if they have to travel to Philadelphia to do it. And McCarthy is the fallback option, with Rizzi as the final resort? That's where I am today.

Yup

Why Kellen over Kafka? Just an innocent question.

I dont know the reasoning. I’m connecting dots ( with a few bread crumbs ) and they are all leading to Philly and Kellen Moore.

Loomis has to know Rizzi isn’t an option after the DA disaster. I saw an analysis from 2021 (forgot where) that showed how internal promotions have a high failure rate, with the creator saying he thought Freddie Kitchens would be the last of those mistakes in the NFL.

Hiring Rizzi would be trying that historically failing strategy a second time in a row.

Triplett did the numbers on that this year. And yeah it was ugly for internal candidates.

 

[St. Geezy]

The fact that we plan to possibly fly a contingent up there to meet with him speaks volumes, that's for sure.

It'll be him or McCarthy, probably by mid-week.

Moore gets another boost. The Eagles offensive line. If he can bring that mindset to the Saints, that would be awesome. Becton who I posted about last year as an option for us, is mauling guys. I love their O-line. I can see Fuaga and Penning being building blocks for an O-line like that.

 

[RJS]

I think one of the attractive things about Moore is that he has run a lot of West Coast concepts with the Cowboys which would be a good foundation to get the most out of Carr. He then goes to Philly and is running a lot of RPO stuff that might be the best way to maximize what the current college game (or Rattler) is providing. He has a good background to get the most out of either.

I've been thinking he's the top choice for awhile.

Just for clarity, did someone flat out say that Moore is the preferred candidate or are you speculating that Moore is the top candidate?

There are a few posters who I pay attention to what they say and post, TCUDan and REBELMAX are two of them.

Idk, but he had an MVP caliber season not long ago. And Moore also had playcalling taken away from him by the Cowboys/McCarthy before he decided to leave Dallas and Dallas did fine without him.

 

[St. Widge]

What has Kafka done without Mahomes?

Moore has worked with Dak, Herbert and now Hurts. He also backed up Stafford as a player in Detroit. He has his team in the NFC Championship game with a RB who can "throw" at QB. I wouldn't read too much into his time with the Chargers, that was a talent depleted/injured team with a banged up Herbert. I like that he's worked with different styles of QBs, that's a bonus.

I don't know if Moore should be the pick over McCarthy, but I do like the fact that he has run good offenses with mid-level QBs or at least mid-level passers. Herbert is obviously more than that, but he was hurt much of Moore's time with the Chargers. But, he's done a good job with Dak and Hurts and that is maybe the best level we can hope for at QB for at least several more years. Moore seems like the kind of guy who could work well with Rattler.

But I will say that Kafka did manage to turn Daniel Jones into a competent enough QB to get into the playoffs for one year. So, he does at least have that on his resume.

I'm not sure having play calling taken away by a veteran HC is a good indicator of future success. Sean Payton was stripped of his play calling by a veteran HC.

Work with Rattler or any modern QB coming out of college.

Makes sense but why didn’t Dallas hire Moore? Isn’t he supposed to be the reason why Mike McCarthy had any success..

I agree, but as stated previously he failed in Chargers for his next stop and hasn’t done anything in Philly. Philly has always had a great OL and they added Barkley this past offseason. They’re strictly riding the talent of the running game and haven’t excelled at anything outside of that.

Yep and it was for the same reasons. MM thought that Moore was throwing the ball too much and it was wearing out the defense. Clearly Moore has corrected that in Philly.
