ebonix Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I imagine he is under contract with the dolphins. His career numbers are better than Geno's and a lot of other Qb's. With few options in FA or in the Draft-- could we pry him away--? He could probably beat out Geno for starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the Jets manage one of the hot qb draft propects neither one should be expected to come in and start week one next season. We will still need another guy to hold us over at least a half season or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I've always like Matt Moore and wanted the Jets to go after him. I do, however, always have concerns with guys that are content as a backup. Moore had the opportunity to hit the open market and I'm sure he would have received some starter looks from a couple teams but he agreed to a contract to be a back up. Maybe he doesnt think he's starting caliber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have some stability and he'd be looking at replacing Tannehill in the case of injury or poor performance. Odds were on him getting a shot.

#27TheDominator Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Besides the Jets. If you remember, the Jets initially supposedly passed on Vick because he wanted to start. I get what JIF is saying, but I think that the Dolphins were a team Matt Moore could probably have started on. Their job was as up in the air as anybody. You knew they would give Tannehill a pretty good opportunity, but his success was no lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 It's interesting to me that other people also like Matt Moore. I think he'd be a decent option for us. I'd actually feel like we'd have a halfway decent player at the position if he were our QB. "Halfway decent" would be a HUGE upgrade for us at QB. The best call against having him though is Joe W. Namath's argument that we'd be a middle of the pack team that likely misses the playoffs but still gets a lousy pick (for a non-playoff team).

Maybe he doesnt think he's starting caliber? The fins gave him 4mill a year for two years. That is hard to pass up for a chance to go somewhere else where you may be cut. When him and Orton both got 4mill a year as BUs I was amazed. This is a job for these guys, most of who are going to be selling cars and houses when they can no longer play. I guess I am the same way, I rather have 8 mill in my pocket and delay free agency for two years, the kid is still only 30 YO another thing about the guy though is that he is made of glass, and he puts the ball on the ground.

Well, fair enough. Of course, everyone has good games against us. LOL. Seriously, there is not much out there. Maybe 20 good QB's for 32 teams. We are all scratching our noggins trying to come up with a scenario to help our beleaguered and beloved Jets. A better O Line and WR's will help us, but Geno still may stink up the joint; so what can we realistically do at QB. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be good to fill the void until that qb draft pick is ready to play. He could help bring along that young talent. We have seen enough careers sabatoged by starting rookie qb's not ready to play in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I liked Moore a lot when the fish first signed him four years ago. My only concern with him now would be that he really hasn't played in the last three years. He's certainly an option though. Anyone who's started an NFL game should be an option.

Sperm Edwards Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 They gave him real money. $8M over 2. That is similar to what Fitzpatrick got (a little better) and not too far off McCown. He'd have some stability and he'd be looking at replacing Tannehill in the case of injury or poor performance. Odds were on him getting a shot. We gave Vick $5M for 1 year, which is also real money. You could argue that Vick is viewed league-wide as more valuable, but that kind of doesn't matter on a team that takes the position that he's the backup QB no matter what. Miami gave him real money for the same reason, though. Young QB who they weren't totally sure about yet, or maybe more correctly, who hadn't yet earned having the job getting just handed to him no matter how badly he looked or played in camp or into the season. Sometimes a young QB just needs to be benched for a bit because the game is moving to fast - for a few games or possibly even for the rest of the season - and can come back stronger at some time later. If the backup QB choices are Matt Simms or Greg McElroy or Kellen Clemens or Mark Brunell or Brady Quinn, even the worst struggling QB knows there's no serious danger of losing the job.

He is a good back up, a spot starter. If I was the GM for the jets, I would go with 4 qbs next year. Jason Campbell as the starter, Geno as the Back up, and Draft Grayson in the 3rd and Bridge in the 4th. Get a guy like Terry Shay to work with them. Campbell is a guy who will act as a mentor and has done that and won games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
