David Marsh No. 1 Share Posted February 15 Someone posted this on another forum but I wanted to post it here with some observations. Dante Moore has an incredible arm and I think we all knew that. But what really stood out to me in all these highlights is his comfort and ball placement. Yes, the bulk of the first half of the video is against less competition but his smoothness and perfect placement on those passes is beautiful. Not to throw Dillon Gabriel under the bus or anything but this last season he didn't look THAT smooth in his deep throws. I think part of that is the better defenses Oregon played but the other part of it is Gabriel's height is sub 6ft which made seeing over linemen a whole lot more difficult than what Moore has to deal with. I am expecting the deep ball to make a big impact next year. Moore has the arm talent to get it there consistently. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smith72 Moderator No. 2 Share Posted February 15 Oregon Ducks' Dante Moore Poised for Breakout Season, Heisman Contender? WWW.SI.COM EUGENE – In the last two seasons, the Oregon Ducks have developed two of the best overall players in the nation in quarterbacks Bo Nix and Dillon Gabriel. Both... Dante is ready. He has all the physical tools needed to lead the Ducks this year. Spending 2024 being mentored by Dillon Gabriel and coached up by Will Stein has helped his learning. Is it April 26 yet? The Spring Game can't come soon enough! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan2785 No. 3 Share Posted Saturday at 06:53 PM Has the best physical tools since Herbert, just has to put it together with a strong mental game, I have more confidence in him than I've had with most of our younger QBs in the past. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unlike Herbert he should have plenty of receivers who can actually catch his throws. I can't tell you how many times in 2018 it was frustrating to watch Herbert throw beautiful balls to JJ3 or Redd only to watch them fail to secure the catch entirely and it result in an incomplete pass. There is a reason in 2018 why Herbert seemed laser focused on Dillon Mitchell and that was because he was the only one who could reliably catch his passes. 2019 got better. But Herbert never had the stable of recievers he needed. Moore absolutely does. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 5 Share Posted Saturday at 10:41 PM "what really stood out to me in all these highlights is his comfort and ball placement" Albeit a short video plays sample, but what I notice is accurate delivery of the ball, with velocity, without setting his feet. He is moving on most of those video plays. If he has time to set his feet the result...? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartm25 No. 6 Share Posted Sunday at 04:10 AM I think Dante Moore has more “arm talent” than Justin Herbert . . . not to be confused with “arm strength”, which Dante has more than enough of. Dante looks like he can really command the pace and trajectory of his throws. Will be really exciting to watch him perform. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
