Burpo The Mad Clown 5,554 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 C'mon. Admit it. You're surprised he's playing this well. So am I. It's great to have a QB of this quality as a backup. azchief21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I thought he was going to be hot garbage. If I was a backup QB or trying to get a spot in the NFL, I'd take any dirt cheap contract I could to sit under Reid a year. Red can get the best out of any QB he touches...it's definitely a gift.

Chiefmanzada 466 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Man he stood in the pocket and took hits while throwing completions. Great work by Reid to get this guy in here, and better work by Moore. He's earned something special coming his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,219 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm really not that suprised. If given enough time, I honestly think Reid could turn any QB into a winner. Moore i always thought was a decent QB, and at least on Henne's level. Iluvhouse24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably giving us 80 percent of what Alex Smith did for the league minimum. The offense has definitely been scaled back but his ability to take care of the ball and take hits makes him effective. I think the MVP plays next week though.

With Mahomes knee situation combined with our oline issues I think they will want to protect themselves.

Andy could probably turn Mariota into a Pro Bowler. All in all though our CAP hits with Alex were in line with his production. We traded him at the perfect time!

If this was the beginning of the season and we had two healthy QBs. No. The PS can be the fallback plan for a 3rd QB. At this point though with it being November and not really being sure how Mahomes knee will hold up, I think you keep him. His value in that QB room probably trumps any roster addition we can add at this point. And the CAP ramifications at this point are very small.

Adamixoye 604 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 When Moore was a starter he was the classic guy who you didn't get excited about but was better than you realized. He's a C- starter and an A- backup. I honestly believe challenges like this can energize coaches, so you give Andy the challenge of "how do I make Matt Moore look good?" along with providing Moore one of the best WR/TE groups in the league and it's not surprising that you can be competitive and go 1-1 in home games against two tough teams.

I think it makes sense with the way Moore was running for his life. With this OL we should just ignore the couple million in cap and keep as many decent QBs as possible. I don't know about Henne's arm but he has been here long enough to learn the system so doesn't hurt to have him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider the CAP hit of adding another player to the roster, this becomes pretty inconsequential. It really comes down to do they think they need that roster spot for another position or to possibly protect a PS player. oldtimer and sith13 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to have a QB of this quality as a backup. Personally I knew nothing about him so I had no preconceived thoughts one way or the other. I did however have faith that the team and coaches are better than what some have given them credit for. Do I believe he could go elsewhere and win? Nope, unless it was to somewhere like NO who have great players on the Offense and a Defense that can step up at times to help the O out when needed. He would probably bomb at Cleveland, both NYs, Miami (again) and Cincinnati to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could get hurt standing on the sidelines, running opposing offenses in practice or running out on the field jumping around after the Chiefs win. Let the man play when he and the staff believe he's ready and stop with all the Florence Nightingale shit.🏉 KC Warpaint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dude can wreck a game all by himself. He tried very hard yesterday. Mahomes will have a slight chance of re injuring his knee till he gets surgery in the off-season. If I was Reid, I would not put him at risk with Erving protecting his backside. NO WAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...They should try to be Smart about the situation. Not careless. Cam is one of the main reasons his ankle was fucked up. I would not do it. But that's just me.
