Fins only team that pursued Moreno.

This is why I was surprised they didn't take an RB in the middle rounds. Daniel Thomas should have been GONE YESTERDAY, and all we got is a stiff fast guy who can only do one thing (Miller) and an oft-injured, mostly uninspiring versatile RB (Moreno) on the roster. I doubt Gillislee amounts to much.

As much of a problem the OL was last year, the running game certainly contributed to the pass protection problems as the pass rush could key up since it didn't really have to worry about the running backs. Plus, the RBs sucked at pass pro too.

If Moreno is hobbled by injury this year, it will be a repeat of last year.

Didn't we sign a few injury prone FA's this year?
Anyway, I agree with the part of the OP about Moreno being over rated due to playing in Peyton's offense. But he can pick up the blitz better than what we had and it's not like we paid a huge amount. 1 year deal anyway.

Another reason why I wanted Gerhart

Me too. Regardless of this injury. That's a back that could have possibly helped make our line look better too.

I think he is referring to Moreno. Thing is he is only making 3m with 1.5m guaranteed on a one year contract, I hardly think that qualifies as "high" profile. Daniel Thomas is making more in guaranteed money this year.

RB's don't get paid that much these days, but he was expected to start, or at least co-start, so if he can't go it's an Ireland-like screw-up, even if he doesn't meet your definition of high profile.
 
I made my beliefs known when the chattering class here were breaking out the pom poms fir this system back.

But let it play out, he will show to be another Sammy Smith. Great in DEN, trash in MIA.

I believe that was Bobby Humphrey

I actually forgot about him. Still Sammy Smith came to MIA in high hopes of balancing the offense. And he wasn't even news worthy once in Davie.

Why wouldn't he be able to get on the field? We are talking about arthroscopic surgery here. He could be playing 4 weeks after surgery, as in next month.

People seem to get really scared of the word "surgery", but this is really not a big deal

You're assuming it's just that. I'm assuming more.

Sammie Smith was a 1st round draft pick for the phins out of FSU.

Bobby Humphrey was actually a decent weapon in the passing game for us at times, but Dan Marino was probably the biggest reason for this fact.

If Daniel Thomas makes the 2014 roster, our Coach/Front Office has know idea what the flip is going on. Well at least we are getting a new stadium, oh wait I mean a renovation.

Moreno can be a 1000% bust and never play a down and I'll still be happy we signed him.
