[Ricky Spanish]

"Forces the ball into covered receivers. Average arm strength. Holds the ball too long in the pocket and misses open wide outs."

sounds like our kind of QB!

but i did like this:

"A good athlete who does a terrific job leading the offense"

Analysis

Positives: Has a tall, lanky frame with room to carry at least another 20 pounds of bulk … Has long limbs, a bit high-cut, but shows tapered muscle definition in his lower frame and adequate muscles in his arms … Shows good mobility stepping in and out of the pocket and demonstrates decent arm strength throwing on the move … Despite not playing baseball since high school, he was selected in the 22nd-round of the 2004 major league baseball draft … Has good quickness running out of the pocket, showing the agility, change of direction and slide to pick up valid yardage with his feet … Shows good stop-and-go action on the moving, setting his feet well before firing the ball … Looks fluid in his pass setup and has a loose arm with a tight over-the-top delivery … Throws a catchable ball when he steps into his throws … Has the field vision to read defenses, and while he will force the ball and make questionable decisions he is efficient at hitting his receivers in stride … Puts his body behind his tosses, demonstrating proper weight transfer … Has enough arm strength to even put zip on the ball when throwing off his back foot … He will rush a few throws, but it is not out of panic, as he generally remains cool under pressure … Had a much better command of the huddle at Oregon State than he did at UCLA … Has the strength behind his throws to generate good zip on out passes and keeps the receivers within their routes with minimal adjustment … Slides to avoid and buy time in the pocket and has the agility to escape the bull rush … Showed better anticipation on curls and crossing routes as a senior, and was also more effective on three- and five-step timing routes … Does a good job at the pre-snap making check downs … Scans the field quickly and was much better at locating secondary targets as a senior (used to lock on to his primary target too long in 2005, resulting in 19 interceptions compared to seven in 2006).

Negatives: Makes questionable decisions, but shows most of his inconsistencies when throwing from the outside hashes … Not the type who runs at the first sight of pressure, but will try to force the action when the pocket collapses rather than throw the ball away … Generally throws over the top, but will revert to slinging it sidearm, and this led to 12 of his 19 interceptions in 2005 … Must do a better job of seeing defenders before firing the ball into tight places … Needs to take a little bit off his short tosses, as they come out hard, making it difficult for his receivers to field them without breaking off their routes … Most of his troubles happen when throwing off his back foot … Mobile quarterback, but makes questionable decisions, running right into spots … Is quicker in his pass set now, but still needs to speed up his drive back from center … Rhythm-type passer who gets into stretches where he sprays the ball all over the place … Durability could be an issue, as he has had several knee injuries and concussions in the past.

Compares To: JOSH McCOWN-Detroit … Like McCown, Moore is a tall, lanky passer with decent mobility and arm strength. He settled down as a a senior, doing a better job of making progression reads, but will still try to force the ball when pressured. His frame is too frail to withstand NFL punishment, and he needs to work on his drive back from center, but late in the draft someone could find a project that could eventually pan out. He's just not ready for prime time -- yet.

LOL @ "compares to Josh McCown" ...the irony.

Remember that all these scouting reports pre-date Matt's exposure to pro coaching. I thought the comment "shows most of his inconsistencies when throwing from the outside hashes" was a good example of this, the Panthers made a point of rolling him out of the pocket this past year. I realize that's different than scrambling outside the pocket, but it still creates a smaller field and gives the QB a bigger opportunity to make a mistake.
