Before the preseason is over, I think some Dolphins fans will be calling for Matt Moore as a viable quarterback answer. I do not think Moore will actually be the starter (speaking today) but if his practice Thursday night -- his first with the Dolphins -- is any indication, he will have his moments during this preseason. And I bet some fans will see his work and float the idea of him as a possible starter.
The reason I think this?
Moore was pretty good. He connected several times on pretty fly (nine) routes. He had nice footwork both in the pocket and on bootlegs. He also showed a willingness to hit the seam route to the tight end. Overall, Moore seemed comfortable in the offense.
That solid work, plus the fact he's going to be competing primarily against second-team defenders could conspire to make him look pretty good future practices and preseason games.
And you know what will happen when Miami's quarterback-hungry fans see that from Moore?
They'll suggest the Dolphins take another look at that naming of Chad Henne as the starter.
