Yup, and the YPA attempt everyone is praising tannehill for getting his UP to this year. Moore had the same total that year.
I'm all for bringing in competition for Thill, as long as we don't spend high draft picks on it. Bring in RGIII, Ckap, whoever. May the best man win.
Yes of course. I was mistaken. It was the coaches that had to be consoled by other defensive players.
The players that interrupted the walk through wouldn't have done that if they respected the coaches. If you respect your boss, you don't dick around in meetings. You can totally not respect a cowoker and still not dick around in meetings. If it wasn't me, you wouldn't be arguing it.
Ok, sure, discount anyone's input that was actually there. And 6 wins... sure, the team wasn't so devoid of talent that it wasn't going to win any games. The record that mattered was 6-10 at the end of the season and again he wasn't expected to carry the team the way Philbin expected Tannehill. Philbin and Sherman were a changing of the guard. If we'd stayed with a similar offense, Moore might have been the starter in 2012, but he wasn't. And, of course Tanny is going to have a higher proportionate numbers - he's started more games and had to touch the ball a lot more each season. You act like Moore is some clear upgrade though. He's not. Again, people are always infatuated with backup QBs who rarely live up to the hype.
I know right? A missed high five? Anyway. I find it hilarious Tannehill was upset someone was leaking stuff to the media. Considering ...
He never got a chance to "live up to the hype". He won the team over as their clear-cut MVP in 2012 and they had some momentum going for them. Then in the very next offseason, he's got a new regime trying to install a new system with youngster who ran it in college that they drafted at the #8 spot. They also brought in a salary thief named David Garrard for a farce 3-way competition, which further complicated matters.
When this happened they were talking about it on one of the pregame shows. One of the former players said it had happened in their walk thrus as well. His QB (forget who it was but it was a well known guy) through up a duck on the next play so that the defensive player would intercept it again and the whole team gave him a standing ovation after it happened. So yeah it does happen to other QBs.
Yes, it was Chris Sims talking about it - it was Jeff Garcia who did that. There's a youtube of the conversation. They mentioned several other instances of this happening as well with other teams and talked about what a joke the attention this got from the media with the Fins was... but that due was to Miko and Omar's special take on it.
Which QB? We're talking about guys who command the respect of their fellow teammates (not just any shmoe back there throwing passes) because that is what was being questioned.
But yes... that is how I know Most of it is all in fun... of course it may be a little different at the pro level. That I am only guessing from what I have experienced/seen.
I'm not sure why anyone is comparing Matt Moore, a 5 year vet entering his 6th year in 2012, to a raw rookie in Tannehill. If anything, LAST SEASON is where you would start comparing the two. Tannehill in his fourth year, compared to Moore in his fourth or fifth year.
It's simple ...... Tannehill ported over with his college offense and head coach, who was our OC. Matt Moore was a developmental prospect who played under multiple OC's and offenses in his time between the Cowboys, Panthers, and Dolphins. By the time he was our starter, Moore had a meager 380 starting attempts under his belt. For perspective, Tanny threw nearly 80% of that amount in just his rookie season alone and again already played in that offense (774 attempts @ TAMU). His main drawback was getting adjusted to the speed of the NFL game.
sure discount 6-3 over 9 games, but then again if the Dolphins had done that this year they would have been knocking on the door to the playoffs. Soooooooooooo you think that team had more talent then this one did.hmmmmmmm ok Bush, Hilliard, Medlin, Slaton, Thomas, Bess, Gates, Hartline, Pruitt, yeah they were stacked with weapons on offense. Barker, Carey, Colombo, Cook. Feinga, Garner, Incognito, Jerry.... yeah that was a great OL he had in front of him.
You can't forget Marshall among that group ..... but yeah he definitely wasn't playing with world beaters. Had we started Moore, instead of DunderHenne we would have been in playoff contention. It's just too bad Sparano was so pigheaded he wouldn't let anyone actually try to push him for the starting spot.
If Tannehill had done that line and team instead of Moore people would be claiming Tannehill was the MVP of entire league, and HOF ready.
