<Quote dlockz>"I saw Moore play exactly the same in game three , so for all his experience he didnt handle anything better and fumbled the ball more. I dont get how you see Moore handling anything better than Tannehill at this point. Beck and Tannehill are two totally different stories, beck made a living throwing to his running backs in a spread offense in college and people overrated him, hell is is a year or so away from retirement or cfl. Neither Moore or Tannehill are gonna do great this year but sitting back watching moore struggle is gonna gain Tannehill nothing. what Moore did last year for a different staff and a different system are immaterial. This is a new staff and a new system and the people that watch them practice and play everyday basically have Moore as our third best qb, Moore has not proved them wrong in preseason so what do you want them to do just feel secure in his stats from last year in a totally different system. They have shown they have no confidence in Moore as the starter and all reports had garrard out performing him so that doesnt say much for Moore here. If a rookie can get you basically the same results as a vet that will be gone in a year why would you throw away a year of experience for no reason." </Quote?>
just to be clear im not saying moore is the long term answer. but he is the right now answer. both are making good plays and both are making bonehead plays. i know the one thing we can agree on is the receivers not catching the damn ball. so were making almost the same argument... what has either of them done this year so far in preseason???? they've done what the receivers have dictated. so the match is pretty much even. But in this situation, especially when everyone knew tanne was drafted with the expectations of sitting for the first year and learning, and moore with the up most respect from his team and a solid year last year, you start the man that has already made his name with the team and let the kid learn. it would be a different story if the talent level was blatantly obvious... and tanne does look good for sure, but as of now the talent level is not blatantly obvious and honestly... from what ive seen with each qb with the first team... i say moore has the edge on tanne slightly. remember, tanne only looked real good against the second and third teams. lets look at it in the middle of the year, if im wrong, ill admit it but right now i say the man should be moore and he should not be traded for anything. say tanne goes down... you want gerrard to play, or devlin? do you like gerrard more than moore? why trade anyway, is ireland going to make good draft picks? we know that isnt happening. he'll probably try to make up for the garbage rt he drafted in martin.
