2017 NFL Preseason Thread: Ki-Jana Carter edition

Which probably means he'll throw 8 TDs in the game.

 

Never be able to do that against a rush but damn.

 

This is the smart play for the Dolphins. Had his best year under Gase in 2015. Won't need to learn playbook. Good young RB (and smartly designed plays) take pressure off QB.

Former Bears Quarterback Jay Cutler Reportedly Agrees to Contract with Miami Dolphins

 

I totally disagree ....
The Big Lead summed it up nicely Friday ...

WTF are the Dolphins doing?
Cutler as a backup? Ok, maybe .... He's clearly no better than Moore.

 

Moore has never started more than 12 games in a single season, and that was 2011. I'm no fan of Cutler's, but yes, yes, he is an improvement over Moore.

 

Not a Cutler fan and think they probably should've signed Kaep for a lot cheaper, but Cutler completed 64.4 percent of his passes for 3,659 yards, with 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 15 games. 21 tds and 11 ints is a good ratio. Why did he take too many chances? because the Big Lead says so?

 

Gase’s system, Moore threw for 721 yards and eight touchdowns with just three interceptions. He completed 63.2 percent of his passes and posted a 105.6 passer rating and a Total QBR of 81.7. He's two years younger than Cutler (I actually thought he was a LOT younger).
He played OK in the wildcard loss to Pittsburgh.


I would have taken Kaep over Cutler, too. I'd take just about anyone over Cutler. Given the choice between two recently retired qbs, I'd have begged Romo (Zero chance he stays healthy).
21-11 is less than a 2-1 ratio. Compare that to 8-3.

I'll bet Moore is the starter before the season is half over.

 

He didn't lose his job to Hoyer and was never supplanted by Barkley. He was benched late in 2014 because Trestman panicked. He also threw a career-high 28 TDs that season despite Trestman's incompetence.

He's no Hall of Famer but GTFO with faux passionate defenses of Matt Fucking Moore. If you're going to offer up reactionary hot takez, at least get your facts straight.

 

Nobody knows less about football than Steelers fans. The NFL runs on familiarity. Case signing Cutler was inevitable and it's also the right move. A second-year coach is never taking on Kaepernick and his baggage, and Matt Moore is a 33-year-old journeyman.

 

Moore is "universally respected." LOL.

 

Cutler knows Gase's system. Kaepernick does not. The relationship between the two is why signing Cutler made sense.

You are basing your case for Moore on a season in which he played in four games and threw all of 87 passes. That is far too small of a sample size. That is the problem. He hasn't even shown he can make it through an entire season. The most games he ever played in one year was 13 in 2011.

Cutler is an NFL starter. Maybe not a good one, but Moore isn't even that.

Also, the Dolphins had to bring in a veteran, just to have a second viable option. Cutler was the best fit, but he wasn't coming back for a reserve job.
