Can any of you all explain what happened to his arm between pre-season and the regular season games he started?

I don't think it was so much based off preseason as much as it was the fact Andy -+ while still a decent QB-- is getting toward the end of his career. We were going to have to do something, so being on a several game skid, it was a good time to see what we had in the backup.

We didn't see much.

So it's not so much about anything changing.

Thoughts on Moore as the backup?

Haven't commented on this thread yet Nicomo as you already know how I feel. Want this guy as our backup to Burrow.

We will see if Zac feels the same, if he doesn't he must have reasons as he worked with him as you note in Miami.

How about Alex Smith? is he still playing?

He would be absolutely insane to ever play again. You see what his leg looked like??

It's like a caricature of a leg.

The Redskins have already offered him a high level front office job too.  And he's 36.  But sitting at a desk is a poor substitute to a guy who wants to be on the field.

Zac said they are set at QB so unless circumstances change Finley and Dolegala are the backups

Feel for Alex man, he was a good QB and that was a terrible injury to behold.
