As a Dolphins fan I don't know whether to laugh or cry, or both.
He's no upgrade on Moore. It'll be interesting to know what sort of money he's getting before making any further comment. They'd have been safer holding onto Henne rather than signing Garrard.
Can't really understand the reasoning behind this move. I would have thought holding out for Tannehill would have been the right move (assuming this prevents it happening).
Maybe Miami are looking to start the "Suck for Barkley" campaign?

His interceptions were remarkable low last season. This won't be the case next year, without doubt his interception will increase next season. He wants what 30million? Over 3 years? Crazy money..
I was reading an article about the comparison between Alex Smith and Matt Moore and besides the lower interception rate there was not a massive difference between them. If Smith stays at the 49ers he'll be average at best. If he moves to a harder division with a defense that's not as dominant and a coach that doesn't know how play to his strengths in a system then he'll be a disaster like in the past.
Personally now that manning has gone to the Broncos he'll stay at the 49ers and they won't be as good as next year.
Agreed but it was Alex Smith or Josh Johnson to QB my team!!!

Also what are you basing the higher interceptions next year on? I expect him to improve further with a full off season with these coaches for the first time plus a better receiving corps.
You expect to see him throw less than 5 interceptions next season ? When hes going to be asked to throw more with his new weapons?
IN 2010 Josh Freeman, Michael Vick and Tom Brady had unbelievable low interception rates. Guess what happened to there interception %'s in 2011 they went back up to the average or higher in Freemans case but that was down to a franchise giving up after 5 games. (Ill look through the stats for them but im playing xbox right now so cant be bothered
)
Smith will not improve. Look he was brutal before this season, This season he was given a very basic playbook and wasn't being forced to throw. He was above average in a team that had an excellent run game a dominant defense and phenomenal special teams for most of the year.
How many field goals did David Akers have to kick after the offense could convert third and 5 upwards? Answer a massive amount.0 -

Interesting you should say that. Anyone here ever read coldhardfootballfacts.com? They had an article last year about QBs with very low turnover ratios and their following seasons. Basically what they found was that no matter how good the QB is, having that few picks is an anomaly and things will correct themselves the following year with INT numbers going way up.
The only real exception has been Aaron Rodgers(went from 7 in 09 to 11 in 2010, not too big a shift by any means) but this can be explained in that the season following those low INT numbers they merely return to their normal numbers in that category. In Rodgers's case, that's still astronomically low as he currently has the lowest turnover percentage of any QB in NFL history (min 1500 passes).0 -

Well no but I don expect him to improve as a player not necessarily throw less picks. But I don't expect his number to jump dramatically.Danger_dave1 wrote: »IN 2010 Josh Freeman, Michael Vick and Tom Brady had unbelievable low interception rates.

Yeah but as I said above I'm looking for overall improvement not just in relation to interceptions. I don't think he will regress back to the amount of picks he had before 2011.Danger_dave1 wrote: »

I don't agree that he won't improve, especially when you give him better receivers and a full off season working with his coaches. Crabtree never showed up last year bar a handful of games towards the end of the regular season, Morgan got injured early on and they only started brining Davis into the passing game from midway through the season. I don't get how you would think he won't improve at all next year.Danger_dave1 wrote: »

He kicked plenty but not all of them are down to Smith not executing, as I said in a different post a lot of it was down to very conservative play calling like running on 3rd and long which they did quite a bit of. Obviously this also feeds into the low interceptions and is a product of a team that was already winning in a lot of cases and didn't feel a need to take unnecessary risks.0 -
