Kellen Moore, OC-LA Chargers

Kellen Moore, the man who almost got the job last season after just getting fired by the Cowboys.

Last season, Kellen Moore was the runner up for the job in Charlotte. Kellen Moore was one of the final interviews and he managed to make a strong case as to why he should be the top candidate. The Panthers even decided keep Kellen Moore in Charlotte overnight following his interview. The group discussed different possibilities, scenarios, and ideas with Moore, and made their decision the following day-preferring Frank Reich’s staff building connections instead.

So, who is Kellen Moore? The 35-year-old is a native of Washington state started 4 seasons at QB for Boise State. Moore would finish his college career with a 50-3 record, throwing for over 14,000 yards, 70% completion rate, and 142 TDs to 28 INTs. Moore won multiple awards while at Boise State including 2x WAC Offensive Player of the Year, MWC Player of the Year, and 2X QB of the Year. Despite this he would still go undrafted in 2012 and sign with the Detroit Lions.

He spent 3 years with Detroit never seeing the field. He spent an additional 3 years in Dallas only playing in 3 games and starting in 2- losing both. Over 3 games, Moore threw 779 yards, 4 TDs, and 6 INTs. In 2018 he retired from playing and joined the Cowboy’s staff as QB Coach. The following year, Jason Garrett would promote him to Offensive Coordinator. He was retained by new coach Mike McCarthy in 2020 and stayed in Dallas as OC until McCarthy and Moore mutually agreed to part ways at the end of the 2022 season. During his time in Dallas, his units would rank 1st, 14th, 1st. and 11th. Currently, his unit in LA ranks 15th.

Critics say that Moore was carried too much by his Head Coaches in Dallas and has always had a loaded roster to work with. While the first part is speculation, he has always had more weapons than most at his disposal. With all the speculation of Evero being retained and the Panthers not exactly being the most sought after job, I think the chances of Moore coming to Charlotte are high. I could see where Evero is retained as HC and Moore is given the coordinator role or Moore is hired as HC and Evero is retained as DC.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
