Senior Bowl practices would either be a boon for Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, or expose him to NFL scouts. Monday’s initial practice received almost no praise from those in attendance. Even NFL scouts. Here’s what one told Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel:
Senior Bowl: Kellen Moore’s flaws being exposed
"He looks like a high school quarterback, skinny arms. Has a weird deliver. Left handed, the ball spins the wrong way,"scout on Kellen Moore

According to those there, Moore had a better second day of practices today placing the ball nicely on a few occasions. But his lack of arm strength continues to be a concern. From Tony Pauline of Sports Illustrated today:
QB Kellen Moore of Boise State continues to struggle. The speed on his throws is notably slower than any of the other signal callers at practice this morning.
Not good. What’s more pressing about these criticisms is that none of them are centered around Moore’s height, which most pointed to during the season as a major negative. A few more thoughts on Moore’s struggles after the jump.
Another rough practice for Kellen Moore - Just doesn't get any power from his legs, kills his velocity and, more importantly,accuracy.

Kellen Moore's arm being exposed today. Slow on outside deep throws, floating passes deep. Kirk Cousins does look crisp, driving ball well

From Mike Tanier of Football Outsiders (via Yahoo! Sports):
Kellen Moore (QB, Boise State) looks out of place against this level of competition. Moore’s deep passes sailed all morning, and some of his throws on out-routes arrived at the receiver’s knees. Worst of all, Moore looks stiff and awkward when dropping and setting.
