In no way shape or form do I feel he should lose his spot at this point in time. The coaches need to coach him and cut his mistakes and demand that he isn't wreckless with taking hits, not throwing into double coverage so often, and not staring down receivers. Now that we have seen Moore play it is a perfect teaching moment...because we have a capable backup. Make too many mistakes and you're coming out. All the negative things he is doing are coachable but his intangibles like heart, soul, grit, and leadership are not. |

However, I am not sure what you mean that the offense is head and shoulders better? Maybe a little but like I said it's two games. Under Keil we have been in the top 30 in scoring offense in the nation. Not too shabby. Yes he makes mistakes and he needs to cut down on those for sure but I don't think he's really done anything so bad as to lose his job over injury nor do I think Moore has been head and shoulders above Keil. I think you can make the case that Moore (through 2 games) has played a little better...but you don't yank your star players due to injury because someone filled in and played a little better over 2 games. I say let the coaches try to fix Keil's in game mistakes/decisions and if that doesn't work...let Moore come in again. |

All of Keil's problems are coachable for the most part IMO. He has plenty of ability and great intangibles IMO. |

Aren't we all glad?
I am thrilled that we have 2 QBs that could start. Credit to Coach T. Unless a team is very lucky, most need more then one QB. That's a sign of good recruiting. Remember the QB gets more credit then they deserve, and more crap when they get beat. Comes with the territory.

I don't recall seeing him benched for it. Cronin or Huggins would have pulled his ass in a second and put someone else in. That tells me his mistakes aren't weighted as much as his production. Perhaps they didn't think they had the luxury...but they do now

Deciding to pull a QB is a lot different than pulling a basketball player.

It's not that hard to pull a QB for not doing what you tell them unless you feel like they are otherwise doing a good job and/or you don't have a viable alternative. Perhaps Moore's performance will give them some balls |

A different kind of platoon
Don't shoot me down without reading the entire platoon suggestion, please.
What is Moore starts and plays on 1st and 2nd downs. If it's 3rd and 5 or less, Moore stays in. If it's an obvious passing down, the run Kiel in with an extra receiver or two. This let's Moore know he has the full offense at his disposal and Kiel knows he has to deliver on throws before he can earn the keys back. Other positions come in and out on situational downs, why not the QB? It let's UC take advantage of both weapons, just like the three headed running game. |
