How good is Matt Moore?

When did he ever take over a game? If he made a big throw it was an amazing occurence.. but you certainly did not expect big things from him when the Dolphins got on offense… You weren’t ever confident that he wouldn’t throw it to the other team. When did he run an effective 2 minute drill?

I think he is more than a back-up at this point in his career. He has 24 starts under his belt now and half of those (12) he has a QB rating in that game of over 90%. He is still young and each start gives him more experience, but still finished 12th in passing this year, and in the top 8 over the last half of the season. He jumped into a horrible situation this year with very little practice time on a new team for him and finished with a 7-5 record.

I’m not saying he is the final answer, but regardless of what the Dolphins do in the draft this year, Moore will most likely be our starter going into 2012 (unless by some chance they end up with Manning). Even if somehow we trade 23 draft choices to get Luck or RGIII, I think they will sit on the bench at least half a year until the playoffs are not an option anymore. But I think overall, in the discussion of how good is Matt Moore, I think he has shown that he can be a competent starter in the league somewhere.

Don’t get me wrong – I’m not endorsing Matt Moore as the Dolphins starting QB for the next 5 years, but overall he impressed me a great deal and if things don’t go as planned in the offseason in gaining a “stud” QB, then I think having Moore is not a bad fallback. With the right pieces in place I think he can carry the team to the playoffs.

That’s why we were one of the top teams in 40+ yard passes…

I am not a Moore supporter at all but the one thing he was pretty good at was the deep ball. In fact I think he was more accurate on throws over 30 yards than throws under 15 yards. He was like the anti-Henne, Chad threw accurately under 20 yards but his accuracy on the deep ball was nothing short of terrible.

I don’t hate Tim Tebow. I just think his quarterback play is akin to the Wildcat. It was something new, he is a great competitor and works his ass off, but NFL coaches are too good to let someone who has such limited skills beat them for too long. You started seeing that at the end of the year, and I think next year will be a tough one for Tebow.

We can’t get every player. I don’t consider it a miss. It’s like saying Green Bay missed on Roddy White or Logan Mankins in the 2005 draft. Well, yes, but they did get Aaron Rodgers. It’d be another story if we drafted someone that failed to make an impact.

How many games did he put the team on his back to win in the last 5 minutes?
How many games did he defeat an opponent with a winning record?
How many games were lost in the 4th quarter in 2011?

No matter how the QB plays this team is talented enough to win 7 or 8 games (we aren’t the 2010 Carolina Panthers), we won’t be sniffing a top 10 pick in the near future. It will more likely to be in the 12-20 range.

the whole time that i am reading, i am thinking why does there have to be a set number of franchise, winning, etc. I understand what he is saying, but i just dont follow the logic. Alex Smith = Winning, 5 ints all year….c’mon. Matt Stafford = Franchise, the dude is pretty awesome.

And this dude needs to watch out for God’s wrath, Tebow is not replacable, at least not for another 2000 years.

it would be great if we quit playing the coaching musical chairs.

Have to. Until there’s a consistant winning, playoffs, and a Super Bowl…

Until he wins a playoff game he’s no more then a Winning category. If we had drafted him we’d be trying to run him out of town.

When I was putting together the list and slotting everyone in, I really was surprised that the majority of the really young QB’s fell in at the end of the pile in such a big group. Obviously those guys have a lot of talent and have the potential to be MUCH better than they have played in the last year or two, but when you take their small body of work and compare it to the players above them, they just don’t stack up currently.
Maybe each player needs a little arrow next to them pointing up or down to show which way they are potentially heading as they move forward (Hasselbeck would have an arrow down, while Bradford or Ponder would have an arrow pointing up).
And as much as I admire Tebow, I think he is in for a tough road next year. D-coordinators will have a year to game plan against him and can study how to take away the couple of things he does really well. I placed him where I did because in most of the games I saw HE was the reason they had to have the 4th quarter comebacks as well as the one pulling the Broncos out of the fire. He really is a tough player to classify in any way.

He is going to cost more than getting Luck or RG3 would this year. On top of that the team with the #1 pick will most likely be more QB needy than even the Colts are.

BTW when I first read your name I had to make a double take as I thought it was the same last name as the Rams owner (Kroenke). lol

I live in Dallas and was able to see him play a time or two when he was at Highland Park. No one is rooting for him more than I am, I’m a fan of all the Texas QB’s out there. I just think to reach that elite level, where you are the top 4-8 guys in the league, you have to do it for more than one year and you have to have some amount of playoff success.
Out of the eight guys I have listed in the two categories above him, I don’t think there would be any question about choosing them to play in a playoff game tomorrow over Stafford (with Romo being the lone exception). If Stafford has another monster year in 2012 like he did this year, I’ll gladly bump him up a category.

I hope so, Ravens fans are just one level better than Jet fans in my book.

I always see people trying to rank the QB’s individually and it just seems like a lost cause to do that. I was trying to figure out a way to put them in groups instead, so came up with the above method. Not perfect, but I’m not sure any method is.

I do agree that Foles and Tannehill are not players I would go after, but that is exactly why we should trade up for RGIII now. The fact that people still believe Matt Moore can be a franchise QB is laughable and im tired of filling holes and waiting until next year to go after a QB. I feel like we do that every year, and guess what, next year there will be new holes to fill. It is time to finally take a chance on a Franchise QB. Every single team has holes, but great QBs have the ability to cover holes, just look at how the Colts were without Manning.

By the way, Barkley will go #1 overall next year and will cost almost as much to get as Luck will now. This team needs to stop screwing around and take a chance on a QB with all the tools to be great.

Henne has NEVER shown the potential Matt Moore shows. Matt Moore has great touch, and a good deep ball. Far better TD:INT ratio too. If RG3 plays next year like Matt Moore this year, then people will be screaming from the rooftops that he is the next coming of Marino. The bias is astounding.

and we beat Oakland when they were 7-3 or 7-4 this year… with Matt MotherFucking Moore.
