Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

I'm partial to QB's who played in the NW (even Anderception) because I like seeing local kids do well and while I'm no fan of the Bronco's, I think Moore would be an excellent late round draft choice for a team like Seattle or Kansas City. What does everyone else think about him, where he goes or if he's just going to suck?

I like him, he can come play 3rd string QB for the pack.

Isn't his only drawback that he is short? I wonder how serious that is? He is a winner and he throws a nice ball. I think he will be a steal for whatever team drafts him.

Is he expected to be drafted?

If he's a free agent then it's a no brainer. It wouldn't surprise me to see him go in the later rounds though. I would probably take a shot at him over a guy like DT.

All the criticism that he has faced in college and for the NFL is ludicrous IMO. People say he's too short, too slow, can't throw the deep ball etc... They are wrong (he is short, actually)

After the Oregon game in '09 when he was a redshirt freshman playing the first road game of his career, I saw something special about this guy. Throwing for 300+ yards and 3 TD's in one of the most hostile environments as a FRESHMAN? Only a select few have the mental capabilities to perform like he did on that day.

He's one of the smartest/most accurate passer I've ever seen in college football.... After that game in Autzen (watched in person), I said to a friend that he's the most impressive QB I've ever watched in person (been a season ticket-holder since '05). I have seen him play a lot since that on TV and he gets it done no matter who he has at Wide Receiver. This year, they had an extremely weak WR group, but that didn't stop him from tearing of defenses. I don't care one iota about his physical attributes... He has everything you need in a QB to be successful in the NFL.

He's short and has a weak arm. I hope he makes it, though. We went to elementary school together.

Big Kellen Moore fan. His pocket presence and ability to see the field and throw guys open is is phenomenal. He's smart and won't get in trouble and you know he's gonna kill the team interviews at the combine. I think he gets drafted for sure but my one question is can he take the hits from NFL defensive linemen on a weekly basis. Can't wait for the Gruden QB show to come back on, interesting group of guys this year and hopefully DT will get on it.

Drew Brees and Doug Flutie are the same size or smaller than Kellen. Typically if you are shorter then 6'3 you just aren't going to cut it in the NFL but there are the select few who can overcome the odds. If anyone, Kellen seems like the guy who can do just that

Only difference is a big one- arm strength. Moore has no zip on his passes.

yeah, his arm strength would worry me a lot more than his size.

the guy will never start in the nfl, but he could earn a great living as a backup. he's smart and accurate, so things likely wouldn't go to hell if he was forced into action... and really, that's 95% of what makes a quality backup.

i'd take another short qb (russell wilson) over him if i were looking for a backup, but he should get taken somewhere.

This...and...he really hasn't played against NFL type corners on a regular basis. I hope he makes it but I don't see him staring in the NFL. Who knows though, kid could tear it up, and I sincerely hope he does.

Hey, you could be right. Personally, I think he's a career clipboard guy in the NFL. That's not necessarily a bad thing for a guy like Kellen Moore though. I think he's pretty much a lock to get into coaching in the college ranks and MAYBE even in the NFL someday....

They said the same thing about Flynn....and he is about to get a tarting job somewhere.

Would that involve making little pies???
