i would have gone with moore for this reason. jay cutler was bringing us nowhere. again as i stated, when the guy was in his prime surrounded by a ton of talent, his teams were always underachieving, with the exception of the 2010 season where they went to the nfc championship season ( i believe that was the year). If there was truly a top notch qb who had just retired, and gase was hoping to catch lightning in a bottle one more time from that guy ( like lets say peyton manning had retired last offseason, and while he wasnt great his final year, he had performed at a respectable level, so gase thought '' hey maybe i can bring him to miami, and he plays at an elite level again, that would be a situation i can understand chasing. The way he was so desperate for jay freaking cutler rubbed me the wrong way.
with matt moore playing for us in 2011, he went 6-6 as a starter with not much talent around him. in 2016 as starter, he went 2-2, so basically matt moore as a starter is nowhere near great, but he can be avg, i would have started moore, and if he completely ****s the bed, since this season was going to be lost anyway, we get a top pick and gase can easily say '' what do u expect me to do with a backup qb''. gase only could have benefited from starting moore, because if he goes 7-9, 8-8 with moore, he looks like a genius.
But your right, just like philbin, adam gase deserves and will get the upcoming season to prove himself, but if tannehill is healthy, there is zero excuse for him. while i am not high on tannehill like many on here, adam gase seems to be, so if he has his qb, no more excuses, and start having more control of ur team, because i dont care who the qb is, tannehill, moore, tom brady, whomever, there is zero excuse for the lack of discipline this team had this year, which falls 100 percent on gase
