no problem here with the 600K price....just not sure he's that good
Me either, but I could say the same for Moore, who I think could be a good player, but not good enough to be handed the job without competing for it

Oh how I wish this held true for every player yearly. I know that's a pipe dream that will never come true.

So you guys would welcome a 6th round QB with 12 TD to 14 INT's and an 0 and 9 record as a starter over moore who showed some promise with your team who at the end basically had quit playing, and the unknown Dak? Not sure this guy is your backup answer IMO.
LOL..As if Moore did better??? He was on a much better team and only the Skins kept him from being completely horrible. And don't forget he is actually like 2 years older than Mettenberger.

Regardless of your thoughts on Moore, Showers and Dak...that is the crazy part of it. We saw how backup QBs killed our season last year, we have a guy that can't be seen as a surefire quality backup by even his biggest supporters and we do little to address the spot unless you think Showers or Prescott takes a big enough step forward to push him. There were so many cheap veteran QB options to bring in and compete and we did nothing. This team has shown one of it's flaws to be falling for guys that "know their system". I think Jimmy or Belichick would have turned over a third of this roster in the last couple of years. We resign our own like they are hot potatoes on the free agent market...

So we won about 25% more games than Tennessee. And I'd be interested for you to find one objective person that knows anything about the NFL who doesn't think Dallas has a better team than Tennessee.

that a boy....poke that stick
Thankfully it's allowed here.....not so much on your board
Actually in this thread it's not, but we're a little more thick skinned here than other boards.

Rep is completely forgetting the same uninjured team went 12-4 a year earlier.

Yep, the Skins love to come dish it out, but they cry like a 6 year old girl who lost her Barbie for the Mods to ban anyone who gives it back on their board

Yeah...Because our QB play sucked! That is the point!!! We were 3-1 with Romo. 1-11 with the others. Thus the idea that a backup QB upgrade was greatly needed.

Maybe Moore could be a decent game manager on a team that had an elite defense. Moore proved that there is a major difference between college and pro speed wise. His arm is too weak. He can't make all the throws at the NFL level. When he attempts to do so he is going to get picked off. It is irresponsible to stay pat with him as the #2

As much as I bash my team the fact remains the Cowboys were competitive in all but 3 or 4 games amongst those 12 losses.

moore might get a longer look per se but he will not be on the opening day roster IMHO

Im betting Nick Foles is the backup with at trade for Leary heads up

but who knows what may or may not happen between now and the season Kickoff

you may be right...I don't know, but I liked a lot about the way he handles himself on the field. Much like his coach (as a player), wouldn't want him to play more than 3 games but remain unsure he's the waste of time some on this forum seem to think. Foles, mettenberg, cassells, weeden are all assumed better than Moore because of measureables. I assume most assume a guy like Chase Daniels is better too and he and Moore have thrown about the same number of career passes. Are the cowboy coaches this stupid and hard headed after seeing the same 16 game season the rest of us did last season? OR did they see a guy play better than the ones around him in those last two games? It is a lot about the reads and distributing the ball...maybe Moore did better than the average eye see's. Maybe the preseason will tell us more....I just can't assume, maybe I like a lot about what I saw in Moore those last two games...certainly compared to Cassels and Weeden I did. Maybe Moore is Jason Garrett.
No prediction here....need more data

Foles can be acquired cheaply but I doubt the Rams have any interest in an injured guard.

Then you are nuts and what injury? The old knee issue? He is as good as about half the starters in this league. His backup looks like he'll be starting in Jax this year. He is a very good player. Shame he likely won't play.
