Moore is More for the Detroit Lions

In a perfect world, magnificent achievements would result in much greater respect and praise from others towards the person. Sometimes this praise doesn't come often enough.

Such is the case for former Boise State player Kellen Moore, that was perhaps the best QB and class act in the history of college football. He won 50 games and only lost three. The point total of the three losses added up to five points! That is truly incredible, but many analysts and experts didn't pay much attention to him. Their reason was that Boise State's schedules included too many weak opponents.

After playing at Boise State, the experts threw him another "accusation" relating to his NFL future. They said that he is too short and his arm strength isn't good enough. Most NFL teams thought the same thing, and Moore was not selected en the NFL Draft. Moore did interest one team enough, and was signed as a Free Agent. The Detroit Lions offered him an opportunity.

In each of the recent years, the Lions threatened Moore of being eliminated from the team. Through his effort and work, he has just reached the NFL for his third season. He is going to have many years more.

Why?

Because he is an example of reasons why nobody should judge solely based on appearance or first impressions. He has something that many QBs don't: The ability to stay composed in the pocket and know exactly what to do with the ball. In other words, he is basically a genius, and a genius deserves to be somewhere in the NFL. But that isn't all.

His last preseason performance showed that the doubts were inaccurate. It doesn't matter if he is "short," because he has shown that he can move the offense forward and score, and that is the goal of a QB. Furthermore, he actually can throw the ball pretty fast, far far and accurate. In fact, he could for years, but few paid attention.

They surely will when he continues his 50-3 record encore in the NFL~any day now as a starter.
