Dallas Cowboys: Kellen Moore would be the perfect QB coach
The one person that can help the Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott understand our Air Coryell offensive system while simultaneously improving his mechanics is Kellen Moore.
I am not ashamed of being a fan of former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Kellen Moore. If you haven’t heard by now, the original K-Dot is slated to become our next quarterback coach. I’m happy that Moore is going to be in our coaching system because this will be a tremendous stepping stone for him. In the end, he’ll probably be more qualified to be an offensive coordinator or head coach than our current head coach aka the Clapping Commander Jason Garrett.
I started watching Moore during his college career at Boise State. It was immediately obvious that he was going to be an elite player. Without a playoff system, teams could wait for Boise State to become a one loss team and get eliminated from the National Championship conversation because they didn’t want to face Monster Moore.
I wasn’t the only person to notice – sportswriter Ben Kercheval of NBC Sports College Football Talk wrote in this article, ‘There are few quarterbacks at the college level who grasp the game and the position like Moore does. Whether it’s his pocket presence, accuracy or general football I.Q., Moore makes it look effortless.”
Kellen Moore has forgotten more about football than quarterback Dak Prescott has ever learned. Kellen’s father, Tom Moore won 21 league championships and four state championships in 23 seasons as head coach at Prosser High School. That’s right, Moore is the son of a football coach. I’ve heard quarterback Dak Prescott called “son of a” lot of things, but coach was never one of them.
Moore has always been called “undersized”, but he’s a winner. I support him and guys like our incredibly legendary former quarterback Tony Romo (you knew that was coming) because the were the underdogs. Players with proven talent that didn’t fit the perception of an ideal quarterback like Cam Newton – 6′ 5”, Tom Brady – 6′ 4”, Ben Roethlisberger – 6′ 5” , Carson Wentz – 6′ 5”, Peyton Manning – 6′ 5”. None of those quarterbacks had better collegiate careers than Moore – (50 wins). After all, Moore is nearly the same height and weight as Drew Brees – 6′ 0”.
I would still prefer to see Moore on the field instead of as a coach, but as the son of a coach, Moore brings one more important element to the table – insanely awesome fundamentals. Read this NFL scouting report or anything about Moore and I can guarantee it will consistently mention his accuracy. That’s a direct by-product of his fundamentals and you can thank his father for that.
I remember the praise Prescott received for picking up his cup and placing it into the trash. If Prescott had Moore’s fundamentals, he wouldn’t have missed. After all, we’re expecting Prescott to hit wide receiver Dez Bryant in stride, 20 yards downfield when he’s literally missing a trash can. This is why Moore becoming quarterback coach is a big deal.

If there’s one person that can help Prescott understand our Air Coryell offensive system and simultaneously improve Prescott’s mechanics – it’s Kellen Moore. Now that the idea of Moore as a coach has been released into the universe, the Cowboys should pull the trigger immediately.
