Is Tomorrow Moon's Last Football Game?

DoubleWannaB · 08-24-2000, 11:30 AM

It could very well be.

Moon will be jockeying around for 2nd or 3rd QB behind Elvis and that decision will be based on the outcome of his playing time vs Tampa. Should Warren have a bad showing then Todd Collins will lock-up the #2 slot (barring a last minute waiver wire pick-up).

Seems unlikely to me that Moon will accept being 3rd string and may very well opt to retire. Of course it's possible that he would try to become another team's back-up, but I don't see it happening.

So tomorrow could be Moon's NFL finale.
Thoughts, one way or the other?

Not much for me to add, Fla... You've hit the nail on the head re: my thoughts on the subject.

I doubt it... he's the best QB we have behind Grbac. I know some people may think he is actually [i]better[/i] than Grbac, but none of them came to this board, right? there is an IQ minimum here right? [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

Collins has played like total poop! Poop I say! White hasn't fared any better... he needs another year or two in NFLE. If it were [i]my[/i] decision, Grbac & Moon would be 1,2 respectively - and I'd make a trade to San Fran for Tim Rattay (but that's just me) [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

What I want to have happen, is for us to keep the better of Moon/Collins and release the other one along with White (put white on the practice squad) ~ and then pick up a long term project on the waiver wire.

What I think will happen, is that we’ll keep White and release Collins unless Moon really stinks up the joint tomorrow.

We just need a decent long term project top come available…<BR>

Moon should be the #2 QB, IMO.

At least I don't cringe every time he drops back to pass!

I'd still love to see Bishop in red and gold...with a new coordinator, of course.

Bob Dole would like to take this opportunity to chant:

[b]Rattay! Rattay! Rattay! Rattay![/b]

Bob Dole is glad to have that out of his system...

I think that moon will end up being the back up based on his experience in the nfl. If he had to replace elvis because of injury, i think it would take a couple of games to shake off the rust because of the inactivity and getting comfortable with the starting unit. The age factor will hamper his play and durability but his knowledge of the game may still be the best thing he has to offer during a real game. Do you trade for a back up quarterback at this stage or do you go with what you got?

Clint - it'll never happen! NE knows what they have in Bishop - a darn good, athletic backup QB. Plus, Peterson would [i]never[/i] allow Bishop in KC because it would stir up another huge QB controversy.

DoubleWannaB · 08-24-2000, 11:42 AM

H_C Chief--

Moon's light years ahead, mentally. The problem is mobility.

I thought Collins played "decent" (but no better that that) after he settled down vs Jax, but I'm not comfortable w/ him. He hasn't taken a regular season snap in 3 years and it shows.

My opinion on your last take: No more S.F. imports. Can't we at least use [i]one[/i] other NFL team as a farm club?

Fla - Rattay hasn't 'officially' become a San Fran commodity yet. [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

The kid is going to be awesome - he needs to be somewhere other than a team that thinks [i]Jeff Garcia[/i] is a viable option!!

08-24-2000, 11:45 AM

Rattay hasn't been there long enough to be considered a S.F. import...

Rattay would be a nice addition this year, to take full advantage of Martha Raye's replacement's offense next season.

Yosef_Malkovitch · 08-24-2000, 11:48 AM

I like Rattay, too. Was hoping we'd draft him. I'd rather have him that one-dimension White.
