Moore may be the best backup in the league and I believe at this point, is a better QB than Cutler. Significantly better. Supposedly, Moore has looked good in practices as well. This just seems like the Dolphins are in panic mode.

Seriously?  Have you looked at Moore's stats?  Best backup in the league?  Would you want to start the season with him?

There is hands down no comparison between the two QB's.  Cutler is by FAR the better option.

If a team depends on "chemistry" regarding the starting QB, they are destined to fail.

There are no backup QB's in the league who should be starting at this point, but if you look at past performances, yes, Moore just might be the best in the NFL. With that said, is it ideal for him to start on any franchise? Of course not, but comparing him to a modern day Jay Cutler, I'd take Moore every time. Cutler never looked all that concerned with football and he's never been a team guy either. He's also widely considered as a "jerk". Like it or not, the QB is a leader of your team, he has to be respected and at least trusted. I didn't see any of that in Cutler's final few years in Chicago. I don't see this working out at all and if Cutler does fail, you've basically told Moore you don't trust him to lead the team, so any confidence he had in the coaching staff is damaged.
