Would you rather have a winning season with Moore or a losing one with Tannehill?

[whizafriz]

With Philbin now in place, we need to always win. If he is as good of a coach as I think he can be, winning will cement him on the team and in the locker room, and players will try harder to win when it counts down the road.

I think some Fin fans are still hungover from the Sparano era, where we all thought winning was actually Losing, since we'd just be prolonging the tenure of a crappy coach that never stood a chance against the big dogs.
We dont have a crappy coach no more, we have Philbin. Let's win, dammit.

With that said, a losing season with Tannehill would be disaster. You'd hurt his confidence, and lose hope in the locker room.

Normally I'm all for "if you don't make the playoffs, get the best draft position possible" -- but I think between three straight losing seasons and having a new coach who I'd like to be successful, give me the winning season even if it's 9-7 and no playoffs.

I wouldn't mind if Tannyhill started and we had an explosion of scoring and lose like Carolina did last year. I just can't stand these 10-3 score games with now excitement.

I doubt you'll have a winning record with either at QB, with Bess and Hartline as your starting WRs. I can see the defense dropping off without Mike Nolan as well. Reggie Bush was great last season, but hes injury prone. Lamar Miller was off most teams draft boards because teams threw red flags on his knee and shoulder.

That wasn't the question that was asked in the poll. Try again if you dare to follow instructions.

Maybe he's confusing Garrard with Daffy or Donald.

Didn't MIAMI throw an unready BECK in for the 1st time against the STEELERS on a cold, wet day in PITTSBURGH? And didn't MIAMI lose the game, and didn't BECK get eaten for lunch? Has BECK recovered yet?

Safe bet that Tanny is way ahead of Beck.
You really going there man.

Andy Dalton won the job, he did not have it given to him. He is also considered a young QB that is far smarter then his experience should make him.

IMO, Tannehill is at least a couple of years behind him in football knowledge.

and how do u judge his football iq? you think moore is a legit NFL starter so obviously you don't have a clue. The Cowboys didn't think moore was any good, he didn't even make a roster. The pantehrs didn't think he was any good, they let him walk and drafted Cam Newton. Have you heard of him? he's pretty good. the dolphins went 6-7 with him in a limited responsibility on offense mainly because he's horrible and we drafted a QB in the top ten. All the NFL people think he's trash so I don't know why any of you want him to be the starter any longer than he needs to be.


Honestly if Moore legit beats Tannehill out for a starting job he wasn't worth the 8 pick. The orginal question is stupid because it infers that Tannehill will cost us games moore could have won. Moore didn't win anything for us last year. We average 20 or less a game and when we scored more it was because of the defense against the Bills and the running game against the ****ty raiders. If anything having Tannehill last year could have won us atleast one more game on thanksgiving. I don't think he messes up the snap count a million times, drops a snap for a Dallas TD or chokes every time in the redzone like moore did. Hell the best play from moore in that game was the marshall TD and the dude was open by 5 yards only to underthrown by squirt gun arm. LOL I guess that play was how moore "sent marshall to the pro bowl"! Crappy throws marshall bailed him out on.

I'm for this team winning championships....having a winning season and getting nowhere means nothing and proves nothing.

This team is highly unlikely to EVER win anything that matters with Matt Moore under center.

With Tannehill, if he develops into what his talent can be the sky is the limit.

He knows the playbook better than the other QB's, if he holds his own against the other QB's in camp and pre-season he should be the starter.

 

[Built2Win]

I would like to see moore initially start and then get Tannehill in situational plays to get his feet wet and take advantage of his strengths..
I think it would be silly for him to hold a clipboard the whole year.

With the lockout and Carson Palmer holding out, Dalton was indeed handed the starting job in Cincinnati. The Bengals did sign Bruce Gradkowski but he missed the first week on training camp because the CBA needed to ratified.

Yea, but that is not our situation. Plus I heard from everyone last season how football smart Dalton was.

This is not the old NFL where you have 3-5 years to build a team it is all about now which means winning now. Rookies are no longer drafted to ride the bench for a couple of years. You have a 4 year window with them and then they are gone for the most part. Take OJ McDuffie our all time leading reception leader, former first round pick he was the punt returner his rookie year not sure if he even caught a pass his first year and that was accectable and expected. If you drafted offensive linemen like Kieth Simms you expected payoffs in about the end to the 2nd to third year. Kieth Sims was high second round pick and was a guard. So there you have it. Both of those players turned out to be all PROS but were not rushed. The old rule take the bird in the hand over the bird in the bush every time.

That is two birds in the bush and I'm really not sure what you mean by it.
