I think Matt Moore is better than he’s getting credit for…He has the tools and I believe proved himself last year. Don’t count him out.

I have an unbiased hunch that the Dolphins will be a surprise hot team this year regardless of who their starting QB is, and that Joe Philbin will become a well respected & very successful head coach.

Garrard didn’t lose his starting job to McClown, he got banged up and was railroaded by the worst GM and Owner in the league in an effort to avoid paying a 9 million dollar roster bonus (and accelerate the Gabbert era). Garrard was a good QB and great Jaguar who was truly never embraced or appreciated by the city of Jacksonville (if you know Jacksonville, then you know why). Congrats Miami, because you guys lucked up and got a really good one this time!

The most important thing Garrard can offer is not turning the ball over…and with this offense and more specifically their speed, that could be a tremendous asset….with that said, I expect Matt Moore to come back and win the job once training camp and the preseason begin

How can anyone expect a QB who is not a pure passer to come in and be efficient at running the West Coast Offense. Also after having a Starting Job just a year ago, but losing it in the Pre Season to Luke McCown. What does Schefter know? It is June and they only had Mini Camp in shorts and helmets. The Real David Gerrard and Matt Moore will show up in Training Camp and Pre Season. They won’t be able to hide behind the shorts and helmets. These two guys are who they are. If Joe Philbin is looking for more, then he is wasting his time.

The last time Miami made the payoffs was in 2008. The starting WRs were Bess and Ginn, wih Pennington at QB. Garrard’s skill sets are similar to Penntington and his skills also fits the WC offense more so then Moore does. So it is not surprising that he is leading the pack. But back to the WRs, I would rather have Bess and Ocho or Hartline starting over Bess and Ginn, just to put things in perspective. Everyone views the WRs as the weak link to this offense and they are so wrong. The concern is the right side of the OL. They get that fixed and This team will surprise a lot of people.

I think Garrard could be the 2012 version of Pennington, let’s just hope Tannehill ain’t the 2012 version of Henne :/

I gotta be honest I never understood why he was run out of town in Jax? I didn’t watch to many jags games so I don’t have a lot to go by but he seemed to be a solid qb with no real talent around him but MJD. He never came across as a dud by any means, but again didn’t watch many jags games that closely.

Just a couple of years ago Garrard was the man in Jaguar land. I think he could find himself again with a new coach, new team and new system. I think he could be the diamond in the rough for Miami.

Its just the lack of quality players around him that is going to kill him and the phins, I am afraid.

Not that surprising.. He has the most NFL starts out of the 3 QBs that Miami has. Why throw the Rookie in let him learn.. Give him some time. Moore is a good option if Garrard fails.

Gerard got a raw deal from the Jaguars. He seems like a good guy and probably better than the dolphins deserve. Hope he does well.

Garrard should do well in Miami…he five years of experience throwing to mediocre receivers.
