YoloinOhio Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think Moore is worth exploring in FA. He currently doesn't have a chance to start in Miami as Tannehill doesn't miss games, even when hurt. He's making 4mill/yr because he's valuable to the Fish and is a former starter. He knows the division well. At the very least I think he could be good vet backup, similar to Orton.

NoSaint Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Agreed.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 He's probably the most expensive option barring a trade, but that being said I like him. Been impressed since he started filling in down in Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The quality QBs are not available and won't be. The QBs who are available are not worth having. Unfortunately, Moore fits into the latter category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Of all the just plain free agents, he's easily my choice. We could do a lot worse, and often have. Get him in, go after a big trade or bigger guy you probably aren't going to get, and if you don't, let him battle it out with EJ. If EJ beats him out, we may have something. If EJ cant, then that says something too. He can run a ball control game and then get it down field to Watkins and Woods and hopefully a TE.

Also, he's only 30. And I read that the fish probably can't afford to play the backup QB that much and will look for a cheaper backup since Tannehill is so durable.

And, see what those 3 can do. Trading for Bradford or Foles would be a better option. But, Moore would be possibly our best plan B option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I read a piece a year or two ago that made a fairly convincing case for Moore being better than Tannehill. I don't know if I agree with that at this point, but he was pretty good the last time he saw significant action back in 2011. In 13 games (12 starts) he averaged 7.2 ypa, threw 16 TDs to 9 INT, and went 6-6 with a sorry Dolphins team that went 0-4 in games he didn't start. I doubt he'll make any pro-bowls but he's a decent pro that will give us at least Ortonesque production if not better, and if EJ or someone else beats him out for the starting job then he will have earned it.

Lurker Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 similar to Orton. I like Moore but my concern is that he's only appeared in three games over the past two seasons (and thrown a total of 10 passes). Is he still the same guy who looked good in 2011, or is just someone we've heard of? Hard to judge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tannehill is a limited QB, but he is developing and turned a corner that night he beat the Bills and when he went into Denver and performed very well. Previously the Bills were his kryptonite. Edited January 28, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I can see him wanting to resign in Miami. I can see many FA QBs that think they can win the starting job aiming for Buffalo.

T master Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have always liked what i saw of Moore both in Carolina & in Miami , he seems to be a good manager of the game doesn't have a huge arm but could be another option with Moore veteran experience . Don't remember how mobile he was ?? Another player i think that is mobile , a bit younger too that it wouldn't hurt to bring in for competition would be Taj Boyd since he was released . I aways liked his leadership in dyer situations while at Clemson , I've seen QB's with worse arms & accuracy , then to add his familiarity with Sammy & he can run it if need be . So i think we have some pretty good option out there that won't necessarily brake the bank & could put us in a good or better situation at the QB position . And if all else fails we can start another Teabow post ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good, but I would rate him as a really, really poor man's Orton. The guy has played basically 1 season, whereas Orton has like 4 3000 yard years under his belt. Moore is pretty green for being in the NFL for 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
