Unusual criticism from NOF and Underhill (1 Viewer)

You have to take into account that he is working with Hurts who is not a good passer and it's a team with Saquon Barkley running for over 2,000 yards. It would be pretty dumb to let Hurts throw the ball a lot when you have Barkley running the ball like that.

I don't honestly know much about Moore other than that he was see as a rising star when he was in Dallas and then took the fall when Jerry got madd and the Saints did interview him for HC in the last cycle when they picked DA. Things did not go well for Moore with the chargers, but he has done a nice job in Philly with a up and down QB in Hurts. He has done a lot with Hurts while others, including Brady and Kingsbury have had much better QBs to work with. Maybe Moore is the guy to work with Rattler and make him better or maybe he's the guy to develop a young college QB that is a better runner than he is a thrower like Hurts?

Moore would not have been my choice, but I do see some reasons why he might be a good choice, but you are right that it will come down to if he can lead the team and run an organized program.

Hiring Moore may very well increase the odds that we draft Jeanty (Boise St. connection, Moore's recent success with Barkley).
 
Watching Moore passing game with Eagle's gives my no confidence in his offense.
His passing game in Philly was fifth in the NFL in passer rating. Because of their overpowering run game, the Eagles were last in passing attempts in the league ... but when they throw, they're efficient.
 
Mike Kafka and Kellen Moore are still in the mix.
I think I would really like it if they gave Moore a chance. He was a good OC in Dallas and they just fell off after he left, and I think what he has done in Philly with Hurts and Barkley is a bright spot. Kind of hard to deny he's a great offensive mind, just don't know if he has the intangibles to make a good HC, but I think it would be worth taking the risk if he is up to the challenge.
 
I wouldn't mind it if we did it on day 2. We're in too awkward of a spot in round 1 for him I think, unless he absolutely blows away the Senior Bowl, combine, etc.
100% day 2 pick. I really think he can be the next Jalen Hurts-style player. Moore knows at this point how to design an offense for that type of QB, which Rattler is similar too.
 
I don't know how anyone watches today's NFL and doesn't want a mobile quarterback at this point.
It's been part of the evolution of the pro game. Pass rushers have gotten so good that it's no longer realistic to expect an offensive line to consistently maintain a clean pocket for four seconds and change. The QB's own running skills, these days, is part of what keeps pass rushers off-balance -- charge too hard, and you're giving the mobile QB an easy outlet around the formation to a big rushing gain. Sometimes a team has to spy a good rushing QB -- that's one less guy available in either the pass rush or pass coverage. Needless to say, it's changed the game.
 

Milroe is not a guy I would take with a high pick or the expectation that he is going to play QB, but if someone does teach him how to be a competent pocket passer, he could be amazing. But I think he needs a lot more work as a passer than Jackson needed when he came out and I'm not sure he can be fixed.

I think we can get Milroe later in the draft. Milroe had a better completion percentage and QBR in college, playing better defenses than Jackson. Jackson did have superior rushing numbers.
 
Since its poop on nick hour... memeber when he said he thought Loomis was going to fire Allen at the end of the season. Yea that wasn't happening either.

Or he may want to build an OL or DL like Philly has. I would hope that any coach would want to draft the best guy they can get at any position given our current roster, but that could be Jeanty depending on who is on the board. Then again, Moore was a dominant QB at Boise State who was a journeyman in the NFL so maybe he will be more cognizant of the different between being dominant playing against a Mountain West schedule as opposed to against a schedule for teams in bigger/better conferences?
