CFB pundit makes attractive comparison for Dante Moore ahead of Oregon vs Rutgers

Oregon lost its first game of the season in Week 6 when it played Indiana at home. Despite the loss, QB Dante Moore has been receiving praise from the college football community. Throughout the season he has been phenomenal in passing the ball, making accurate shots and dominating the opposing defense inside his own.

He even managed to showcase his running skills and rattle the opposition in clutch moments. What is crucial is his ability to stay calm and make accurate throws.

According to college football expert and Aaron Rodgers' brother Jordan, Moore is a complete quarterback. He has been a dark horse since the start of the season and is now slowly building his draft stock.

Rodgers compared Moore's strengths to those of the Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. He stated that Moore's ability to think in crucial moments will be vital when he turns pro.

“A guy that can change arm angles and make every pitch — if you want to turn tape and see somebody that looks like Patrick Mahomes at times, it's Dante Moore,” Rodgers said on Wednesday's episode of Get Up .

“Why? Because when things are chaotic around him, he's calm. Things seem to slow down for him. His progression is read, his decisions – he's always on the beat and his ball placement is excellent. I love Dante Moore,” he added.

Dante Moore and Dan Lanning promise to return to the court in Week 8

The Oregon Ducks are coming off a bye week and will be looking to restore their winning streak. This week they will play against Rutgers and enter the game Lanning and Co. they are the clear favourites.

While speaking with reporters earlier this week, Coach Lanning mentioned that his team was not at all happy with its overall performance against Indiana.

There were a lot of lapses and, most importantly, they wasted time in the second half of the game. This weekend, Lanning revealed that his men will go into full aggressive mode.

Looking at the current pace of how things are progressing, Oregon will be one of the first teams to play in the Big Ten playoffs in 2025.
