We may be cutting moore to save for 2015

What player can we get now that we couldn't get by cutting Matt Moore? There isn't anybody. So why would you risk Pat Devlin if Tanne went down? Moore has shown he can win games- Buffalo was an outlier and not the constant. Forget Buffalo.
Draft someone you might think? Why would you waste that draft pick on a qb when we have a qb but have bigger needs elsewhere.
Also, Moore is helping us win now. Every young qb needs a guy like Moore. Tanne had very little qb experience in college and now only two years in the pros. All of that experience is with the same guy- Sherman. Matt will be very important on helping Tanne progress.
Like it or not people on this forum need to recognize the Fins are all in on Tannehill as their guy now. Moore is a person on this team that helps Tannehill play better. He will stay. After this year we can expect him to take a pay cut or go elsewhere.
Honestly, we should be happy we have depth at this position.

that $5 million could be the difference in getting a stud vs. a stop-gap like maybe Alex Mack instead of Wade Smith
Bottom line for me: Matt Moore's job is to come off the bench and play well. If he can't do his job, he shouldn't be here for any price.
How? How that $5 mil do that. He wouldn't cost $25 mil this year...he wouldn't cost $20 mil. You would have a really good argument if we were in cap hell, but we're not.
Yes, Moore did bad vs the bills. The entire team did bad vs the bills. Rewind to when Moore came in the second half of the season a couple years back. He did more than fine. Do you want to trust Delvin with that?

In a word- yes. hard to imagine that he would do worse
He still represents decent QB insurance. The Buffalo game was an anomaly partly because of the cold windy playing conditions. Everyone looked bad that day.
I would be in no hurry to cut Matt Moore. He is basically a very good backup. The money is only significant if we have another player that we are targeting. Other possibility is that a decent QB draft prospect like AJ McCarron drops much lower than expected and we bring him in to be the backup.

Matt Moore needs to go. Devlin makes way more sense.

I think some people have no clue just how bad the OL was, especially the last half of the season.
Matt Moore is a legit backup QB who would probably start for 8 teams.
The OL was putrid -- the parts were poor and the whole was exponentially worse than the parts. Horrid.
And Moore had never played with such poor line play in his entire career. Cut him some slack. How good did Eli look this year with sucky OL play?
How many games does Brady win if he's pressured 15+ times a game, hit 10 times a game, and sacked 4 times a game?
Do the math, people.

Go get me a juice box!
I dunno what's worse, seeing this thread created YET AGAIN .... or seeing people place trust in Pat Devlin.
