Mr. WEO Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Matt Moore? He's a carreer backup who has attempted 10 passes in the past 2 years--29 in the past 3. What are people using to make the comparison? His season 4 years ago? He doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are people using to make the comparison? His season 4 years ago? He doesn't exist. At one point Scott Chandler was an unknown sitting behind 2 other starting TE's as well..... Now....Scott is a low tier starting TE in the league....but he is a starter non the less.....and was hidden as someones backup at one point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are people using to make the comparison? His season 4 years ago? He doesn't exist. Even in his extremely small sample of play, he has been on injured reserve twice. Not much to like about this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Where these guys were drafted makes no difference to me. I've long opined that Matt Moore has been the best Dolphins QB since he's been there. I consider Alex Smith to be better than Smith, but simply because he's had the chance to prove it. I'd love to be able to get Moore in Buffalo to join the competition. Agreed. It may sound crazy but how about bringing in two free agent quarterbacks and let them battle it out with EJ?

John from Riverside Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 You guys do realize that Mark Sanchez might be the best we are gong to be able to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 there is no comparison. Alex Smith was a highly recruited former #1 pick with a ton of talent. Matt Moore is not as talented but has been a competent backup. Matt Moore has already reached his potential, there is not untapped potential in there like with Alex Smith. maybe you can use that comparison on someone like Sanchez who was a former top 5 pick Blaine Gannett > Kurt Warner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Blaine Gannett > Kurt Warner So Kurt Warner was a backup for 7+ years that didn't show much of anything and then all of a sudden became a star? Nope he was a star the whole time he was just overlooked. Bad comparison. Matt Moore has never been a star and never will be. He's lucky to be in the league Edited February 17, 2015 by kdiggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's lucky to be in the league Gabbert was a top 10 pick; Warner went undrafted and was out of the league bagging groceries having reached his potential. Gabbert has so much yet to be tapped into.

Gabbert has so much yet to be tapped into. Kurt Warner wasn't a backup for 7 yrs bouncing from team to team and playing mediocre football along the way. He was a star in the arena league and a star in the NFL. Bad comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 You argued draft position then you changed the criteria when that approach was reduced to absurdity.I didn't say anything about Matt Moore's draft position. Reading is fundamental. I only mentioned Alex Smith's as another example of how talented he is. Not all #1's are. He is. He went #1 because he had raw talent and even though he didnt run a pro style offense in college the potential was always there given the right development. You are quick to go on the attack. Perhaps next time show a little more respect to fellow posters instead of trying to grandstand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 You guys do realize that Mark Sanchez might be the best we are gong to be able to do Sadly, I do. Locker is the only other decent FA option. I like him better than Sanchez as a QB, but the odds of him staying healthy are not good. And I'm being generous there. With Rex's history with him it makes a lot of sense to get Sanchez to Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly are not going to find an impressive piece of filet mignon; your are more likely to come up with a half eaten McBurger. This is what happens when you use a first round pick on a qb and then realize that you better have a backup plan. When an organization has to resort to Kolb and Orton type qbs to take the snaps you know that you are not in a position of strength so much as a position of desperation. The shame of this qb situation is not that we are in this situation but that we have been in this situation for so long. It's such an absurdity.

That is easy to say, but besides Russell Wilson, who is it that they had a good opportunity to draft and failed to do so? I'll grant that they were close to in position to get Dalton or Kaepernick, but I think both went before Bills' pick in 2nd round. Not sure either are a great answer, either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Flutie,save us. Sadly, I do. Locker is the only other decent FA option. I like him better than Sanchez as a QB, but the odds of him staying healthy are not good. And I'm being generous there. With Rex's history with him it makes a lot of sense to get Sanchez to Buffalo. Mark Sanchez was the reason the Jets didn't go to the SB. He was terrible. We saw his max in Philly under Kelly and it wasn't good. He loves turnovers like he loves underage girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was terrible. We saw his max in Philly under Kelly and it wasn't good. He loves turnovers like he loves underage girls. No one is looking for an "answer"... People are looking for a 1 year stop gap that can play at a level that won't hurt the rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
