so the huddlers cant make excuses for Cam but you can for Moore?

just saying

Observations are different than excuses.

Moore gets his fair share of blame. He threw behind the guy on 3rd and 7 with a chance to get a first down and seal the Cowboys game, he missed him, on him.

Brandon Marshall running out of bounds with no one around him and an easy path to the endzone is not an excuse, it's an observation.

Revis trying to face fug marshall on that route is not an excuse, it's an observation.

Marshall getting hit a full second before the ball gets there on 3rd down is not an excuse, it's an observation.

Moore does not need excuses made for him, he accepts responsibility and finds ways to overcome.

I think it's funny that QBs keep turning down a chance to start with the Dolphins... It's like people think the team is toxic. However, I believe in a couple of years Matt Moore could develop into a very effective QB for them. He has moments where he shines... and he isn't scared to put the ball up. He just needs to be a little more consistent... kinda like Delhomme, eh? :P

Only one person turned it down and it was because he was offered the backup job.

Nope, Garrad blatantly turned them down. I remember reading about it 'cause I was wondering WTF he was thinking. He wasn't exactly in a position to choose which team he went to and I was having severe problem comprehending why he wasn't accepting work and trying to earn a role somewhere. His Agent said "just wasn't the right opportunity" they were looking for... They "didn't offer him what he thought he was worth."

I can see why Delhomme would want to turn them down if he thinks he can start elsewhere... but still... paycheck's a paycheck... especially if all you gotta do is hold a dang clipboard for a quick mil. lol

Lot of what agents tell the media isn't the full story. From what I recall, they both wanted starter money and a guarantee for the year that the Dolphins weren't willing to give because they wanted them as backups. Why do you think they quickly moved on to Sage Rosenfels?

It's better for those guys (Gerrard, Delhomme) to say THEY weren't interested and "it wasn't the right situation" than to say they are just holding out for a starting gig.

But don't believe me.

I just don't see them starting any of their backups over Garrard. I mean as much as I love Matt Moore, I think if they sign Garrard he becomes the guy for the rest of the season...

Moore has just NOW become SOMEWHAT of a viable starter for them...

While neither is a future hall of fame member, imo Moore has looked pretty good these last few weeks. As good or better than Garrard ever has.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      with arm strength people often get stuck on the distance  arm strength in the NFL is moreso measured in speed / velocity .which of course is how long does it take for  the ball to travel from the time of release until it reaches its target ? & u beat world class speed with more speed on the ball...just saying

      No GM hits 100%. I'm well aware. But what a GM has to do is look at the roster, what's available, and future contracts and go from there. XL was a one season wonder in college. He has speed. Who cares. He body catches and his hands are bricks. Speed doesn't matter when you don't actually have the ball. There were other receivers available with better resumes. XL was a project. Fitts loved projects. You don't have the luxury of projects when you just traded away DJ for a QB. 1st round WRs need to contribute now.  Brooks was a luxury RB pick we didn't have the luxury to make. Who cares if Dallas was going to pick him. We had holes all over our defense. Chuba was coming off a fresh contract. We just inked 150m interior line and then centered it by moving a guard to center that had suffered 2 season ending injuries. The most critical area on our line was being held together by a bandaid and a prayer. No surprise when it didn't work.   Wallace is getting better but Wilson was sitting there waiting to be taken. DPOY for college football right there for the taking. That was a gimme pick. If you're going to take a risk on an injured player, the 3rd round for Wilson made a whole lot more sense at a position we were rest stop TP thin at.  4th round and on aren't going to be heavy contributors unless you're lucky.  He did well on the trade for Jackson. Coker, I believe he offered the largest guarantee. He actually got more than some late round picks make.  Those 1st 3 picks, IMO, were straight up whiffs.  Looking back at Fitterer's picks, I think he tried to plug holes because we had a ton of them. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it and he loved RAS scores and developmental players with a coach that couldn't develop a Polaroid. He tried to do too much. He was impatient. His other problem was he panicked during the draft and couldn't read or understand the flow of how drafts tend to go. DJ Johnson was the prime example. We needed an edge rusher and he jumped in at the end of the run instead of starting it.  Morgan's first year looked exactly like Fitts to me. Lots of projects.  2nd year looks better.  We'll see how 3rd year goes. FA also plays into all of this as well but that's a whole different topic of how it played out and planning with regard to drafting.

      The only social media I want to see out of XL this offseason is….

      I judge how good our players are by the way a defense covers them. XL draws no special coverage. Coker on the other hand always has a man over the top. It still doesn’t matter. You be the judge.
