He plays FS because he's the most talented Safety we have, but if we had someone the coaches had as much confidence in to cover as large an area of the field as they feel Landry can, Landry could use his aggressiveness in a much more positive and productive way at SS. A lot of us were hoping Moore would be that guy. Maybe he still will be.

Exactly my thoughts.. I don't see how by saying something like this means bashing Landry and/or Moore..
I would not oppose to the idea of signing a starter FS from free agent after this season to push Moore, put FS spot up for grabs and then Moore and the free agent FS will battle for it; few names worth mentioned would be OJ Otogew from STL Rams, Nick Collins from Packers, Antoine Betha from Colts (I have no idea whether if he's good at coverage or not), and even Ryan Clark from Steelers will be free agent after this season, as well.. There are couple of more.. Although there are possibilities that some of the names just mentioned probably would be franchised or signed to an extension contract..
If we sign Ryan Clark, it would be just to fill in the gap - he will be 29 years old.. Although by doing this would give us a chance to draft one of top safeties within few years..
