Just got a text from the Sun Sentinel. It's official but hasn't shown up in print as far as I can tell.

"Head coach Joe Philbin announces that Ryan Tannehill will start the season as the No. 1 quarterback."

Showed up on Twitter Philbin named him the starter. Not what I would have done, but that's why I'm here and he's there. Glad they made a decision. My fantasy team name now makes more sense- Saving Private Ryan Tannehill! -EK

I won't guarantee him success but I will say that he seems to be the most poised rookie QB we have had.  Now I guess we will see which way he goes from here.

Well, that settles that debate. Not the decision I would've made. But I wish #17 all the luck in the world. The sooner he learns to stop "staring down his receivers" , the better. Go Dolphins!

I hope, for the sake of the team and its fan base, that I am wrong.

Not a surprising move. Obvious call once Garrard went down to injury. Gotta find out if the kid is for real now. Let him take his lumps and get the rookie mistakes out of the way. And if Tannehill is good but the team loses for just lack of overall talent, well then you can finally Kiss Ireland GOOD-BYE I think.

Miami tried to replace Moore time after time since the end of last season, he never had a shot.

Edit::: Just read that Jason Cole is now reporting Miami (along with 1 or 2 other teams) is interested in trading for QB Tavaris Jackson. They want a long-term back up for Tannehill. BUT, I believe Jackson is in the final year of his deal too, so I don't understand it.

Why would you get Jackson over Moore? 

This front office really does not like Matt Moore.  They bring in Garrard off the street and are chasing down bums from other teams just so they can avoid putting him in uniform.  It's embarrassing.

Matt Moore can't play. He is a bad QB. I get that, I understand why Miami wants to get rid of him. But I don't understand this either. If Jackson had 2 or 3 years left on his deal that is one thing, meaning you can trade for him and you have him locked up for a while and he wont be going anywhere. You solidify your QB position.  But Jackson is in the same boat as Moore, he can walk at seasons end. So why make a move for him? I don't get it. Now this report is just coming from one guy Jason Cole. So it might be BS. Nobody else is reporting Miami is interested.

Matt Moore is not a west coast offense kind of guy. Never has been and he's not picking it up in Miami either. Now I don't know squat about Tavaris Jackson so for all I know he's not a west coast kind of guy either and this is all just speculation, but I too see why they are not that excited about Moore.

Edit: Did some research and Tavaris has played nothing but West coast offense. That most likely is why Miami would be interested or why they are rumored to be interested.

Could it be they are now scarred of keeping Gerrard ? He is due that money Sept 1st and if they can dump him before then for a healthy Jackson, is that what they are thinking ?
