Really like the Gannon comparison, gannon was more of a short passer from what I remember, however the career backup into starter is the perfect comparison. If Moore got a fair shot to start he would be a very worthy starter in this league, thankfully Moore can start the rest of this year and we still have Thill coming back. Moore will gladly backup Tannehill and team chemistry will still be in place. Don't let people tell you he's not a competent starter, guy is better than a lot of starters. People just don't like him because he's not popular and he throws wobbly passes sometimes. Somebody mentioned that Moore came in and threw for more yards in one quarter than cutler has all year in any game. I don't know if that's true but its probably close. Cutler couldn't move the offense at all for idk how many games and Moore comes in and instantly scores in bunches, -10 mil.
People will hate for any reason, most of the time and certainly in this case for non legit ones.
Idk how the play calling was this game, but it seemed like more of the same from the comments. It's always somebody that has to come in and save Gase from himself because he can't recognize talent and seemingly has no common sense. I'm so tired of these Phiblinesque coaches that have zero clue about even the most simple things.
This is why I wanted Campbell, I'm 100% certain we would have been a much better/much more dominant team with him simply because he recognizes basic things, relates to players because he's an everyday guy and a leader, not to mention the brains to back all that up. I think we would have gotten to the second playoff game last year with Campbell, and Moore/Asiata/Davis would have been starting day one for him. We wouldn't have gave up albert for nothing, and wouldn't have thomas/cutler. Most of the game is about making the simple right calls, not about being some guy who can hit some random high iq spots every now and then but it doesn't matter most of the time because he never did the basic things to get in a spot for that to matter in the first place.
I'm happy we won, and as I've always said I hope Gase improves but man it sure would be nice if the head coach wasn't holding the team back and was instead helping the team win. It's been so long since we've had that, most people don't even remember what that is. They saw it in Campbell's short stint and a lot loved it, many hated it also because he wasn't pretty enough for them or didn't have enough experience. Even though he played for 10+ years and knew the game very well, they'd rather have a guy with no actual football experience who sat behind a desk forever playing head games. I'll take the experienced player over the desk jockey every day of the week, especially one that was as instinctual, tough, relatable, and bright as Campbell was. Burke seems to be doing well and he has no experience either, a lot of times it's the guys without coaching experience that are the best choices.
Point is, I hope we keep winning and we can actually do something with Gase, however I don't wan't his zero common sense and inability to adapt/stubborness in sticking to what doesn't work to keep us from winning a lot more. We saw that endlessly from Sparano and Phiblin so don't let the record fool you, a lot of times records are not representative of what a team really is. I hope Gase turns into a coach that helps us win instead of us winning in spite of him because you truly need both coaches and players trying to win to be a great long term team.
If Gase finally matures and helps us win I'm all for keeping him, if not I'd rather us go get Campbell back because I know he will help us win.
For those that still can't see past their bias of the facts let me explain it to you like this. I'm a Red Sox fan and we had this coach named Terry Francona who we won 2 titles with over i believe 8 years. However, the guy was an egomaniac and was constantly trying to make himself look smart by pulling pitchers and inserting x pitcher/player in x situation every chance he got. I watched him lose seemingly 20 games a year for us with that bs, almost every time he would pull the pitchers to try and look smart the opposing team would hit homers to win it or just roll us afterwards. It's not popular opinion because people only follow what they are told to like "oh but he won us 2 titles in 8 years, you're an idiot." If we had an actual coach that was trying to win instead of just trying to make himself look smart we would have won probably at least a couple more titles with all the talent we had in that time span.
I just want a coach that will help us win, not one that we win in spite of.
