so the huddlers cant make excuses for Cam but you can for Moore?

just saying

Observations are different than excuses.

Moore gets his fair share of blame. He threw behind the guy on 3rd and 7 with a chance to get a first down and seal the Cowboys game, he missed him, on him.

Brandon Marshall running out of bounds with no one around him and an easy path to the endzone is not an excuse, it's an observation.

Revis trying to face fug marshall on that route is not an excuse, it's an observation.

Marshall getting hit a full second before the ball gets there on 3rd down is not an excuse, it's an observation.

Moore does not need excuses made for him, he accepts responsibility and finds ways to overcome.

I think it's funny that QBs keep turning down a chance to start with the Dolphins... It's like people think the team is toxic. However, I believe in a couple of years Matt Moore could develop into a very effective QB for them. He has moments where he shines... and he isn't scared to put the ball up. He just needs to be a little more consistent... kinda like Delhomme, eh? :P

Only one person turned it down and it was because he was offered the backup job.

Nope, Garrad blatantly turned them down. I remember reading about it 'cause I was wondering WTF he was thinking. He wasn't exactly in a position to choose which team he went to and I was having severe problem comprehending why he wasn't accepting work and trying to earn a role somewhere. His Agent said "just wasn't the right opportunity" they were looking for... They "didn't offer him what he thought he was worth."

I can see why Delhomme would want to turn them down if he thinks he can start elsewhere... but still... paycheck's a paycheck... especially if all you gotta do is hold a dang clipboard for a quick mil. lol

Lot of what agents tell the media isn't the full story. From what I recall, they both wanted starter money and a guarantee for the year that the Dolphins weren't willing to give because they wanted them as backups. Why do you think they quickly moved on to Sage Rosenfels?

It's better for those guys (Gerrard, Delhomme) to say THEY weren't interested and "it wasn't the right situation" than to say they are just holding out for a starting gig.

But don't believe me.

I just don't see them starting any of their backups over Garrard. I mean as much as I love Matt Moore, I think if they sign Garrard he becomes the guy for the rest of the season...

Moore has just NOW become SOMEWHAT of a viable starter for them...

While neither is a future hall of fame member, imo Moore has looked pretty good these last few weeks. As good or better than Garrard ever has.
