After he got fired, went to St Louis and got fired again. Why would he want to follow up one of, if not the most, successful pairing of all time?
First he'd have to succeed somewhere besides under Bill, then he'd want to leave his current job he's succeeding at?

Well, let's see. They wouldn't give Fitzpatrick a 4-60 or 3-45 contract and thought it best to play out a single year at 12m. I would say that was a pretty smart move and they had to keep him around when a) they didn't have any better options and b) Fitzpatrick had a career year, including the most TD passes in Jets history. So, no, I don't think they'll overpay for Matt Moore.

So, you are saying the Jets were the only team with QB problems this past year? The reason for keeping Fitz were no better options available, right? Do you think the NFL Int leader per game played was worth the full $12 mill or just $11.5? Because it seems you are saying no one has ever paid for a Matt Flynn, Cassel, Kolb, etc who got overpaid for their previous work(less than Moore's sample).

No, they are sending him off to create "Patriots West" and the next 49ers dynasty will start just as Brady and Belichick retire. Then the two of them will buy the team (Brady's from the Bay Area anyway) and rule the NFL for the rest of eternity.
Hey if we're making up wacky stories, we might as well make them good right?

Sigh, looks like you got worked up.
No, I wasn't saying that, since I was just responding to your comment referencing the Jets. Yes, other teams have QB issues.
Again, Matt Moore is 32 and will be 33 before the next season start. If you think he could get more than Fitzpatrick, who was coming off a pretty good full year and a good partial year (31/15, 17/8) as well as some middling years, I think you're delusional. Keep in mind, this was, by far, Fitzpatrick's worst year. So, no, I can't say that it was a bad decision at the time even if it didn't pan out. Obviously he wasn't worth $12M after having that awful season but they can't see the future. You also have to look at the relative value of that $12m, not it in a void. In terms of QB salary, he was 24th. Pretty much everyone below him except RG3 is on a rookie contract. This isn't a Brock Osweiler situation. Like Brock, all your examples are of young dudes where people gamble on their upside. A 33 year old doesn't have much upside. Moore even had a 13 game season a number of years ago where he was fairly competent and that didn't get him a big payday. It's not happening with Moore.

Lol, I was bored and hoping you wouldn't dig deeper. Fine, you are right and it's quite possible Moore stays. He likes Miami( for some reason) and for a small upgrade in pay...probably not willing to uproot.

Jaguars to hire Doug Marrone as coach, Tom Coughlin as executive VP
I can only hope this means the Bucs can hold on to Mike Smith for at least one more year as def coordinator. Doubtful though, he's sure to get attention from every team with a HC vacancy.

Can't see anyone getting excited over Moore. But it is the NFL, and he is a QB.

Wonder if he gets rid of Phillips as DC, personally I think that would be a mistake. Great DC, just not a good HC.
