Mis-direction is your friend. However, those plays require a steady hand and a calm demeanor. Since you guys clearly know more about Midnight than I do, perhaps someone could shed some light on this skill set?

I remember he came to Arrowhead with the Dolphins in 2011 and straight lit our defense up, Fasano and Brandon Marshall straight killed us in that game, and Midnight was the QB. IIRC, he has touch and can throw deep, too.

I was so hungover for that Miami game.. no wonder I don't remember it.

watching Moore's highlight reel there (and understanding it's a highlight reel)

I see pretty good pocket awareness, I see pretty damned good ball placement on even long throws although with nowhere near the velocity that Patrick has.

I see a guy who plays with no fear.

I think we could do a lot worse.

As someone who watched Moore in college, the main issue with Moore is that he is very streaky. He will go through periods where he looks amazing and then go through periods where he looks dreadful. I haven't followed his pro career as closely but it looks like that trend continued.

In the Moore GIF thread, I linked to his game against USC his senior year where he just lit them up and the Beavers beat USC who were #3 at the time. In the broadcast, the announcers were talking about how Moore had been booed in the previous home game because he played so poorly and they were amazed at how poised he looked in the USC game (the Beavers started out 2-3 that year before winning 8 of 9 to finish the season, including a comeback win against Mizzou in the Sun Bowl). He as also been a bit injury prone. In the pros, it seemed like every time he had a chance to become a starter, he would get hurt and lose his job.

If we get Good Matt, we'll be fine. If we get Bad Matt, we will be ****ed. However, if there is anyone that I think could bring out Good Matt consistently, it would be Reid. He has had a knack of turning chicken shit into chicken salad.

He's Damon Huard.

History is about to repeat itself in more ways than one.

I just did the same exercise and agree.

He’s tough as nails and not afraid to throw it downfield.

My guess is that with Andy Reid and a slew of dynamic weapons, we will squeeze out a couple wins so long as the defense isn’t complete AIDS.

What we're really looking for is Chicken Piccata. With a side of 100-yard rushing.

On a posotive note, the Chiefs are a good road team, and if they get close to full strength down the stretch, they can go on a good run. If they make the playoffs, they can win anywhere, except N.E. Even there though, they'll have a shot.

Now don't you start with that shit, Mr. Tex. I have it on good authority that we have the coachingest coach that ever coached a coach. You just kick back and relax, sir.

I'm intrigued.

I make a mean chicken piccata.

I always thought Moore was better than Henne.

Didn't he replace Henne in Miami?

[RINGLEADER]

Not a fan of Moore but he’s our guy, there won’t be anyone else coming in to save the day so I’m 100% behind him until Pat’s back. Hopefully, with our weapons, he’ll find enough success to beat two of the next four, Pat can rest his kneecap and ankle, and we’ll be no worse than 7-4 when Pat returns.

Go kick some ass Matt...

[Easy 6]

I whipped both Green Bay AND the Vikings last night with Henne in at QB on Madden

Sooo yeah, we can do this I’d swear on it...
