Who let inside the guy from the short bus?

I don’t think he will ever get a chance to prove himself. If the Lions brought in another QB, then his time in Detroit is likely short as well. Let me guess, the other guy has good measurables, right? How did a guy like Drew Brees get such a great opportunity coming out of Purdue in the 2nd round? His measurables are pretty questionable too.

The NFL has these system QBs figured out by now.

Kevin Kolb was the nail in the coffin for obviously physically limited QBs being drafted 4 rounds too soon based upon gaudy stats.

These guys will have to go the late round/UDFA route and basically start over.

Which is how it should be. The NFL doesn’t draft interior linemen based upon their college team’s record. They shouldn’t draft their QBs that way either.

Kellen Moore could be a Kubiak-type backup. The kind of QB who helps a team win in the film room and sidelines. If he has to play a few downs here and there, he’s smart enough to get the job done.

And every down guy…sad, but highly unlikely. I’m from Boise and been a BSU fan since they were a Jr College, so I’m rooting hard for him to prove everyone wrong again, but it seems like the longest of shots he’ll be more than a clipboard holder.

I’m pulling for the kid to make the team and play some role in building the Lions back. He might not ever be a starter or take significant snaps but he understands the game. I could see him being in the NFL for 3-5 years then going back to Boise to be a grad student and eventually becoming a heck of a coach.

Moore’s just got too many lacking measureables for his intangibles to offset. I’m guessing this won’t stop Peter King from predicting a 5,000 yard passing season at some point for Moore. Speaking of which, where is Danny Wuerffel?

Considering the second most wins by an FBS QB is held by Colt McCoy, who was just replaced by a 28 year old rookie, I have to imagine that people in the business will look at the player and not just the record. Though, he could follow the Detmer brothers’ career path and be a solid 2nd/3rd stringer who also is like a jr coach.
