Can Kellen Moore Be a Good NFL QB???

[brahmabull117]

I realize he's short and doesn't have the strongest arm in the world, but he's no shorter than drew brees and arm strength is something that a lot of guys can improve (look at brady's arm strength compared to when he first started)



His QB intangibles are absolutely impeccable and he's got phenomenal accuracy. I've seen him make perfect throws between 3 defenders that I don't think any other college QB can consistently make



He plays the QB position at college kinda like how Peyton Manning plays the QB position in the pros. It's just a real shame he's not 6'5 with a stronger arm because I think he's got better intangibles and accuracy than even Andrew Luck

I think he's got a shot at being good at the next level. Funny you mention his height and drew brees because I thought of that analogy as well.

the only thing he needs to fix is his slow release and he should have a decent career

Slow release, short, no arm strength, not mobile, Great intangibles, I'd say very accurate. Won't be a star could get an opportunity as a starter after being in the league a few years but I see him as a career backup type. I enjoy watching him play at Boise FWIW, just do not see in him what I see in Luck and Barkley, And what I have seen in Bradford, Stafford, and a few others. I'd say 3-5th round pick unless he somehow wows in pre draft workouts.

he's an absolute joy to watch play the QB position and seems like a very nice guy off the field




it's just a shame he doesn't have better natural talent

i think his intangibles will make him good. to be honest, I never thought much of Stafford or Ryan in college but their careers are starting to take off. I see much more in Moore than those 2 ever showed and I know he will get picked up in the draft. hope to see him play for many more years in the nfl and possibly be the next Favre

This is a great thread. I'm glad others have noticed how good KM is. If you notice which qb's sustain the longest careers in the NFL, it is always the smarter and more accurate ones. All the intangibles can only take you so far...ie..Jamarcus Russell, Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch.... I think KM has a great chance of making it as a starter in the NFL. Accuracy and good decision making trump everything else.

You know ppl are always asking what's my favor team? I'm like whoever make me the money..hahah but hey for sure Boise St is my favor right now because of Moore..

Its all about deep ball accuracy.

Been watching Kellen a little during this game, he's had a few very good throws some good out routes where the ball has been right on target and he has shown some good arm strength. He has also had a few throws where it looks like he is throwing off his back foot which would need to be corrected. All in all i still see low second to 4th round pick, but that doesn't mean he can't be a succesful qb in the NFL.
