Look, I don’t have anything against Matt Moore. He can be a solid backup and that’s what this deal pays him like, 5 million over 2 years. The reason they get an F is because after resigning Moore, they announced they would not be going after Kyle Orton. I don’t understand this at all. This team was 30th in the league in scoring offense last year and 14th in the league in scoring defense. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why this team went 7-9 last year. They’ve done a great job of fixing the running game and the offensive line this offseason.
They just needed to fix their quarterback situation. Kyle Orton, by no means, is a franchise quarterback. However, he’s not going to kill you with turnovers like Chad Henne, he has had a ton of success with Brandon Marshall in the past, and with a good supporting cast like the Dolphins have, he can get you 9-10 wins next season. You’re not going to win a Super Bowl with him, but he’s well worth the 3rd rounder they refused to give up for him.
Grade: F
