So according to your theory, kellen Moore who went for 4-14 with an int dosent belong in NFL?? What about a guy who went for 2-8 (drew brees) or another guy who went for 2-8 with int which comes out to a 0.0 QB rating (Aaron Rodgers) which was lower then moore’s rating of about 20.0… Should all these 3QB’s be out of NFL?…. Keep in mind Moore is a “rookie”, first time on the field, these other two guys have been doing this for a long time…
You sound like a person who is clueless about football…. Kellen Moore might not be a superstar, but give the kid a chance…

Let’s evaluate:

4 completions
4 dropped passes
3 defensive deflections
1 overthrown pass
1 throw with defender grabbing arm
1 INT

The INT was thrown at the WRs inside shoulder. Too bad the WR was not looking at the ball like the DB was.

So, what exactly is so bad about his performance? It’s not like he threw to any good WRs.

None of his passes were blocked at the line, so his height isn’t an issue.

He wasn’t sacked, even on the rollout pass, so his speed isn’t an issue.

He did just fine. If he had the chance to play with guys that actually tried to catch his passes, he would’ve been 9-14 with no INTs.

How many TDs and INTs did Matt Stafford throw?

I can’t see how anyone who watched the first preseason game can disagree with me without lying to themselves.

To all of you who say “It’s just one game,” etc…..that makes no difference in this case. Moore’s arm is not going to miraculously get stronger by the Lions’ next game. His arm was adequate against collegiate-level defenses, but it simply will not suffice in the NFL. I’m a huge Lions fan, and it’s kind of sad to say it because I was looking forward to his winning style….but he’s not an NFL quarterback and more than Tim Tebow is.

Kellen Moore = Colt Brennan 2.0

……minus the douche-bag personality and sense of entitlement.

50-3 in college? Just like Colt, played a cupcake schedule in a cupcake conference.

He’ll end up like Colt (minus the DUI and drug addiction), washing out of every pro league possible until he finds a back up gig in the AFL or something.

The Lions had bigger issues than a walk-on QB who didn’t play great. Schwartz was not a happy camper after the game.

AH guess I can’t question if you actually watched the game or just went off the box score.. yet you wonder why you get non-sense answers to questions from coaches and players now

This is the first time that I had to look at who posted this article because overall PFT does a good job across the board. Preseason is not something to get hyped on. The good and the bad are irrelevant when the game matters winners will win. Can no-talent-clowns play in the NFL yes. Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf both played. Kellen Moore will ride the bench as a 3 string or be on the practice squad its too soon to tell which way he will go.

If there’s room in the NFL for Chad Henne, there’s room for Kellen Moore. Henne has firmly established that he sucks, Moore has not.

Too bad he didn’t play for the SEC and isn’t outspoken about his religion, he might have a hundred more commenters defending him as a winner.

What is it with you rope smokers and Tebow? The article had nothing to do with Tebow but you drone on and on about how you hate Tim. Try this, take off your knee pads, tear down the picture of Tebow on the ceiling above your bed (the one you keep there to remind yourself how much you hate TT), go to the bathroom and rub one out. Then move on already! BTW, the author is a idiot to pronounce someone unfit after one preseason game. Jay Cutler didn’t even take a snap while his team was humiliated. I wouldn’t either if I had that O-line. They aren’t fit for the NFL, CFL, OR arena league.

Oh My God !!! I absolutely hate the Preseason NFL Bloggers and the STUPID, IDIOTIC comments from a few sh-t for brains posters.

When 3rd stringers are up against 1st stringers, you’re going to see some really good plays, and some really bad plays, and for the most part none of means diddly squat. Just coaches evaluating players. That’s all it is folks !!!

Easy to tell if a guy is a Boise hater or not, obviously this author is one. Moore made some mistakes, first game in the NFL, that’s hardly surprising, but most of these drives ended because of his receivers dropping the ball. Moore hit them in the numbers or on both hands they just couldn’t hold onto it, that’s not Kellen’s fault

Which is why he went undrafted

Now, Brandon Weeden on the otherhand…yikes

Don’t know if he will be good or not but did Moore offend this writer at done point. Almost seems personal to write something like this after an undrafted free agent plays part of his first exhibition game. Very odd.

You can’t read too much into preseason! Cleveland played without 5 starters on D, and the backups played well against Stafford! It means nothing! Weeden’s numbers are skewed! He looked comfortable, and had a great deep ball to Benjamin! His int was in the right spot for
Little, but Little couldn’t make the catch. Don’t look much into it! It’s preseason.

Nevermind, just watched some Moore tape from college, he’s a much better thrower.

Joique Bell will be one of the top RB’s this season. Another great Running Back that came from Buffalo, like McGahee and Lynch this kid has some skills.
————————————————

You’ve come to this conclusion watching him run against the Cleveland Browns 2nd and 3rd string D?

oooooh kaaaayyyy….

The differences between Tebow and this guy are religious fanaticism, 3 or 4 inches and 55 pounds.

Two words come to mind when considering Kellen Moore’s potential in the NFL:

Ty. Detmer.

Except that Detmer, a career NFL backup who was also an outstanding college player, probably had more raw ability.

Isn’t saying that Kelem Moore does not resemble a NFL QB just another way of saying he resembles Mark Sanchez?

In the future I would just suggest that it would be simpler to just write “Blank QB plays like Sanchez.” You could even make a template out of it. kind of like when Tebow threw that interception many people last night said that “Tebow was channeling his inner Sanchez.”

Just like we cannot say RG3 is a can’t miss because of his performance, we cannot say this guy can’t play. I mean, is this a personal vendetta? Just a weird article after only 1 preseason game.

By: peytonsneck18

peytonsneck18 — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 16:10:07 +0000

And rg3 said the nfl was easy and practice was harder than the real game…..after one preseason game against vanilla bills D…and hes not arragount?

Looking at stats in a vacuum. His recievers dropped a few passes. He’s not starting material, but his performance wasn’t as bad as the stats suggest.

Kellen’s performance was no surprise for a first time qb in the nfl, and this article was no surprise for a Idiot sports writer
