quote:I'm ok with letting Moore walk. We've seen what he can do, and it's not great. And if Romo goes down, I wouldn't want any of them stepping into his role right now. For Showers and Prescott, that's ok because they're still young. Moore is 27 and is in his 5th year, without showing much at all. Doesn't have great pocket awareness and his arm is average at best; I think we've seen enough out of him. If Romo were to go down, I still think they'd have to trade or sign someone from FA to be competitive.
i rewatched a lot of the game last night with Showers in there. (yes, i know...watching a preseason game once is bad enough but twice??)
i think he had a lot better game than what people realize. he had serious protection issues and WRs that dropped balls on him. i'd even go so far as to say that he looked very sharp on a lot of plays.
i reiterate once again....i really really wana see him get reps with the 1s. lets see what he's capable of with that lauded OL, and Dez, Witten, TWill, and Cole to throw to with the Butler and Zeke providing run support. we already know what Romo can do, and we have years to evaluate Dak still. give Showers reps with the 1s and at the very least you can make a better decision on whether to keep 2 vs 3 QBs and what do with Moore.
i really get the feeling Showers would look solid at the very least if given that opportunity and if he does , then you gota go 3 QBs and let Moore go.
For what it's worth, I'd like to see what Showers would do with the first teamers as well...I think it's something to consider more of in practice now that we've all seen how fragile Romo is at this stage...
