Our QB need
49 replies
OkiePhinForum VeteranOPI know a lot of you are excited about Moore and think he could be our answer at QB. I believe he is a fantastic back up and mediocre starter. Hopefully his play this first half knocks the star dust out of peoples eyes and our need for a QB is re-enforced.

Yea, I'm a big fan but man....gotta play good against NYJ. Still a winnable game.
OkiePhinForum VeteranStill a very winnable game and we just had a nice drive. :knucks:
OkiePhinForum VeteranYep, that crap will keep us from even taking a shot at another QB. Well, that's my fear anyway..
GreysonWinfieldNew MemberThis game clearly showed that Moore is a fill in.
One game at a time: Your 2016 Miami Dolphins.
A team without leadership, players without heart: Your 2015 Miami Dolphins.
Carrying on a decade plus of underachieving and mediocrity: Your 2014 Miami Dolphins.
Pissing on your dreams and tearing your heart out: Your 2013 Miami Dolphins.
BigDogsHuntNew MemberOur #1 QB need is the need to not ever draft a Mark Sanchez clone!!!!!

Until you end up with:
Ben R
Tom b
Peyton M
Aaron R
Drew B
you can always upgrade at QB. But what if we pick 10 and there is nobody there to pick. Trade the farm? Reach? Trade down because you know, trading down is so easy?
OkiePhinForum VeteranYes, trade the farm.. Something has to give sometime.. We win enough to keep away from a top QB draft and not enough to make it to the playoffs or a SB. So when do we take the plunge for a top tier QB?
hazed819Forum VeteranThe need to do whatever it takes to get either Luck or RG3 this draft i believe, they cant sit around on this, this year. We cant afford to pick up another 2nd rd gamble like Beck and Henne and waste another 3-4 years, I think we have a strong foundation right now we just need a good leader out there and we can compete easily.
MuckRetired AdminOr you could throw mad cash at Matt Flynn. He of the 480 yards and 6 TDs today. He'll be an unrestricted free agent. Then you use that Top 10 pick on whatever you want.
Matt Moore is a fantastic backup IMO. Fantastic. Has all the qualities you want in one.

Moore is a far better starter then back up though.
Have to see how the offseason breaks out, new HC/OC, let's see what they want to do.

This can not be stated and drilled home enough....Moore should be our long term clipboard holder if others in the Flynn, or drafted QB mode come into camp to battle it out.
Having a quality backup is valuable too.

Drew Byou can always upgrade at QB. But what if we pick 10 and there is nobody there to pick. Trade the farm? Reach? Trade down because you know, trading down is so easy?
Thank the Almighty that the Colts lost today, Polian has said he will take Luck, and the pick is not for trade, thusly sparing us months of "trade for Luck!!!" le merde'

Matt Flynn did that with a 14-1 team, just like Matt Cassel went 11-5 with the Pats who also have a good team. The Matt Cassel in Kansas is not what the Chiefs expected. Matt Flynn can stay right there and I'd like to take my chances elsewhere.

Sort of, Cassel had a outstanding 2010 with 27 Td's to 7 int's.
Flynn's started 3 gms, he knows the GB offense inside and out, "if" we hire someone from GB for OC or HC he'd make sense.
MuckRetired AdminIncidentally, Brian Billick called that Packers game today.

Honestly I hope the Colts pickup Luck so I can see this all unfold and slap them in the face. Colts - Manning = 2-11
I dont care who you put in place of Manning the results will remain the same. The Colts as a team suck, they need far more than a QB, realistically speaking how much longer can Manning carry them?

I saw Cassel play live that year. He was a good player that year and still is. Took him several games to get comfy in '08.
As for Flynn, he also played very well at New England last year in his first career start. That team wasn't as good as this one.
Somebody is going to pay him Kolb money in about two months.

maynardNew MemberThat silly Matt Moore. lays a stinker in the 1st half and then takes complete control of the game with a 21 play TD drive. he did nothing if not cure my apathy this season

I wouldnt doubt that but I just hope its not us because I have a feeling we'll regret it for years to come. Culpepper vs Brees comes to memory, which still makes me sick to this day.

a crazy person might say that Moore actually showed more in this game than he has in other good performances in terms of working the short game and moving out of the pocket as some have dismissed him for those very reasons

He made that TD play work, and it was a proper way to finish a 12 minute drive.
Think about that, Griese, Marino, Pennington, none of them accomplished what MMoore did today.
