And in fact Moore looked a bit better in Carolina before getting the hook for uber productive Jimmy Clausen IIRC - or am I wrong there?

 

IMO, that's not a bad move. I think he could push Henne, not sure who would win. Another QB that acts like a pro, I like it.

 

oh vey

 

Excuse me while I slit my wrists out of enthusiasm.

 

*We got Hartline*!

Eh, had a good 08, sat, was not very good in 2010 then tore his labrum.

 

Hey Pad, you going to be okay now that VY is going to Philly?

 

Eh, this isn't personal for me, Eagles made a smart move, we are looking at Matt Moore, you tell me?

 

just got home from watching wally tonight pads .... at least the bombers won , hoped for better news re the phins but alas , no such luck ...

 

We can wait a couple more weeks and sign Brett Favre, he's due to make a comeback.....lol

 

BC is just adverse to making plays when they count, no other words to describe it.

INOW, Wally built a team of chokers, it what it is.

 

For a backup or camp arm, what's wrong with that? A while back, Buffalo signed a guy to be a camp arm and he turned out to be a starter.....Doug Flutie.

 

Which locks us into Henne, he of the negative Td to Int ratio, he of the epic collapses in close games, he of the int machine on our side of the 50, if you think that is a good idea IDK what to tell you.

 

I like Matt Moore. Wouldn't mind bringing him in to back up Henne. It'll be a lot cheaper than Orton, although I like Orton as well.

I say bring in Moore to backup Henne this season. If Henne can't get it together with all the weapons around him now, then it'll be time to move on. Orton will be available as a FA next year right? Plus the draft.

 

I know according to some it's everyone's fault but the Quarterback, and to be fair Carolina had its issues, but from what I saw (particularly preseason where I think they failed to score an offensive touchdown, or at least very few of them) he was abysmal. As a third string sure, but as legit competition for Henne and the guy to come in if Henne gets hurt? No thanks.

 

So the Dolphins answer to 7-9 with a putrid offense is:

1. Brian Daboll
2. Rookie Center
3. Rookie 2nd/3rd Round Tailback
4. Reggie Bush
5. Matt Moore

Huzzah!

 

Listen, I know nobody thinks I'm impartial. Whatever. But the fact of the matter is, WAY before this free agency/trade period began, I looked at the available QBs. I studied them, I watched all their plays, I dissected those plays, even clipped them so that I could re-watch them.

Matt Moore was well down the list. WELL down the list.

 

Well, Garner will be back and healthy, but more or less, those Rook's have to perform at a high level or this will be a very long season and you will get your wish for a high pick Qb and a new HC.

Orton can tilt the field a bit at least.

 

id take moore as a backup but nothing other than that.

 

Yes. Very much so.

But you're making an ignorant mistake of assuming that I would be all cakes and candy canes if the Dolphins had drafted a QB in the Draft. Not so. Mistakes are mistakes. Drafting a QB would have only rectified one mistake. Would have only been one check mark in the plus column.

 

And who says Ortons deal is dead?

 

Because this is something I've looked at Slick, Moore has less starts then Henne, and when last playing, was worse then Henne, and Qb musical chairs has a hand on the "off" button.

The Tier 3 guys, Gradkowski, and Thigpen and Jackson have all signed, as has Hasselback, there literally is longshots like Hanie, and never was like Volek to pick through, what Moore amounts to is an endorsement of Henne being the #1 Qb via not bringing anyone in who can seriously threaten his job.

Our last real hope is Kyle Orton.

 

This year is going to cost us all some hair, I can see that already.

 

Utterly disagree, we are far better off with Henne at Qb over a rook as he still MAY develop, a Rook is an utter unknown and if he flammed out..back to Henne.

On the upside at least it is not Jake Delhomme...I hesitate to write that...

 

Let us all hope Dan Thomas is just a monster running back, aside from Orton..he is our best hope...

 

Not me.

 

From what I recall of my very limited viewing of Dan Thomas, he looked like another Jonathon Dwyer.

 

Could have had BOTH. I been saying that for months.

 

Nah, DT has more wiggle in him then Dwyer had, he is a 230 pd slashing rb, his problem is fumbles.

 

Still wish they'd moved up for Gabbert?
