Rondale Moore has a 7.2 yac average.

There is a huge problem with Rondale Moore...but it's not Rondale Moore.

It's cliff kinsberry....

How did we go through all that time without Dhop and never learn if Moore can play outside? That speed on the outside would be a devastating weapon....and before anyone gets huffy about his size....lots of smaller guys have done well playing the boundaries... look up Steve Smith... Carolina panthers mostly.
We saw Moore make a great catch on the sidelines early in the season, did the stretched out toe drag thing and all that.,.. then, inexplicably, he is relegated to only getting the ball behind the line of scrimmage for the rest of the season.
So we don't know what he can do... because of that, we are looking at outside WR as a huge need instead of slot....and slots are easier and cheaper to get.
Which means we will likely re sign Green for another season, since his cost to production ratio will be lower than most of the other FA WR's.

But Rondale Moore a "bust"? That entire idea is beyond ridiculous, describing it properly is a bannable offense on asfn.....but it ranks right up there with the time my great niece said she could end world suffering with sunflower seeds and pickle juice.
The Hard On for Moore is just so painfully obvious. Dude take your parking space at Walmart?
Can't wait to read the Moore Manifesto when it's published, I'm sure it will go into the HoF right next to Tango's love letter to Jake.

For some reason the Cardinals like those short passes to the flat. Also they don't use those quick passes over the middle which would slow down the pass rush in a hurry.
To get KM in a rhythm, recall KK said lots of those lateral passes are also to slow down the pass rush and was a big part of getting KM going in the game.

Led the league in separation last year.

Moore also has 1.1 average targeted air yards per catch, dead last among all the receivers on the list, the second last is 5.3.

Way too early to give up on Moore. Cardinal coaching is just weird. It seemed they tried to turn Moore into some kind of pass receiving RB. It never worked. Like always, they seemed to have no Plan B. It’s remarkable the poor way they handle rookies. People keep blaming Keim, but he may not be the problem. Take Reddick. They played him out of position for 3 years. He looked like a bad draft choice, but wasn’t. It’s almost impossible to tell how good any of these guys are based on how they’ve been used.

whats interesting here is "they" are three different defensive coaching staffs

on Moore: I dont see a problem

he was the 4th WR with the top 3 being experienced vets. It is accepted wisdom that it takes most WRs a year to really understand the NFL game. Moore had a pretty specific role and he contributed in it.
