Ah, that time of yr, another Training Camp, another "new" Qb in town, but this yr it is a bit different.
No one has made these absurd statements:
"He can be our #1 Qb"
"Very underrated, and a young player, he can..."
Which is refreshing, we have had more then our share of Trent Green's and Cleo Lemons and whomevers, not that Moore is Joey Harrington, he can play a bit, but it is nice for a change to see "us" not overreact to the latest #2 Qb who is brought in to hold the clipboard and maybe play a couple of Qtrs in the preseason.

You know what I mean, people go way overboard, or did, when a new Qb comes into camp.
Imho, Moore fits that old saying about the #2 Qb "he can win 3 games off of the bench, if you keep him out there, he will lose you 3 games as well"ToddsPhins likes this. -

Can't argue with that one ga, which is why no one is a bigger fan of DTrain then I am.

Yeah the owner hasn't called him the next Dan Marino so I guess that's a nice change.

The Dolphins don't have #1 QB's. We start our #2. That's how it works here. lol.

Wait until they consider switching from Henne to Moore. That's when the parades, concerts and accolades for Moore will begin.

Nobody is saying it cause noone is thrilled by Matt Moore. Who knows, maybe he's better than Henne, but I don't see it. The most important position on the field, and arguably our weakest position, we have done virtually nothing to improve it.
That's why noone is crowing about Moore being our savior.DolfanJake likes this. -

That's going quite well thanks for asking.
Chad Kelly says there's a big recruit coming in the next 10 days, so that's good news. lol.Bpk likes this. -

I hope it's a 5 star rake for when they have to clean up players off of the field against Miami.unluckyluciano likes this. -

3rd string at best......we should cut him

Already!!!
:lol:
Last name really out there is Dennis Dixon, and even then he is unproven as well.
I can recall some people being CERTAIN if Cleo Lemon started he would be the answer...when did we turn into the fat chick franchise? -
-
I would rather have Cleo lemon then Matt Moore. I hate Matt Moore with a passion. I feel like qbs like Matt Moore and Luke McCown are the laughing stocks of the NFL qb wise. I feel like they bring down our franchise as a whole. I wish we had Joey Harrington rather than Matt Moore. Plus Matt Moore it's proven that he sucks. I hope we cut him very soon.

I don't understand these posts. We HAVE been looking into the QB situation. I like Orton but the Broncos are asking a fortune for him. The Eagles wanted a fortune for Kolb who has proved nothing in the NFL. Vince Young is a mental headcase. Who else do you want? Bulger? Delhomme? I actually really like that the Dolphins didn't severely overpay for a QB who wasn't worth it. It looks like they are sticking with Henne and I'm happy with that. By all accounts he has been proving a lot this offseason by stepping up as the leader. Let's see how it plays out. Matt Moore ins't bad either.Ohio Fanatic, Phinatic425, Trowa and 2 others like this.

Hmm, to me he is "okay" I do not think he will win you many games nor will he lose you many.

Well...I'll say here and now, I like Matt Moore. Liked him in college and am glad he is a Dolphin. IMO he isn't as bad as many here want us to believe. His arm is not as bad as some here want us to believe. He doesn't have a Henne Howitzer, but few do. He does show that he is capable of good timing, touch and accuracy IMO. He lacks consistency at this point. While he did not play well last season, he did play part of the time with a torn right labrum, or so I recall reading.
If he does earn the chance to start at any time, excuse me if I am happy for him.padre31 likes this. -
Matt Moore does not which end of the football to throw!!!!
:shifty:
Funny thing is, Sparano specifically mentioned that Dorrell had a relationship with Moore at UCLA, that ended badly, which was one of the reasons why some thought he would not come to Miami. -
Hey man, I like Moore too. But I still have faith that Henne can get it done.ToddsPhins and MrClean like this.

I am just amazed since Jimmy Johnson (run run run punt, handcuffing marino's audibling) how undervalued the QB is in this team. The philosophy hasn't changed even with multiple coaching and owner changes. I call it the curse of the Marino.

Chad Henne better be our starter opening day if he isnt our season is done before it even starts. For those of you that think Matt Moore is good, what has made you think this?

I just dont see a starting qb, a good qb, or a second string qb in Matt Moore. He was a bad signing, there are better qbs out there. I feel like we screwed up. We need to go get Marc Bulger at the very least it will challenge henne -

I think you should wait until Matt Moore suits up and starts throwing passes before you breathe a sigh of relief that nobody is giving him the "savior treatment".

Matt Moore couldnt save anything. He is not saving this team. hope he gets cut

To echo what Rocky said, I think this front office handled the QB situation as well as possible. No one can argue that Kolb got overpayed for what he has proven in this league. I'm glad to see us not get married to another unproven QB and sell the farm to get him. I've heard that it wasn't the compensation that held up the deal with the Broncos, it was the contract Orton demanded. Once again, not getting married to another team's cast off. Smart. Not giving up valuable draft picks for unproven/mediocre guys when next year's draft will be the deepest at QB since 2004. Smart.
Unless Orton backs off his contract demands, It's Henne's team now. We sink or swim with him. And I wouldn't be surprised to see Orton in Washington. So it is what it is. We've got a lot of unproven guys at QB and I think we all realize that.MrClean and Rocky Raccoon like this. -

I think that is a paraphrase of a line from Apocalypse Now, and my oh my, why do Qb's cause the Hyperboles to be dusted off, and the emotions to run so high?
Moore figured to be the #3 Qb in San Diego and the possible #1 in San Francisco.
Some NFL talent people liked him up until last season, and that is as objective as it gets.
