The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... Moore watched his team pursue two signal-callers, Peyton Manning and Matt Flynn, who potentially could have replaced him as the team's starting QB. But Moore didn't let the team's flirtations with free agents get under his skin. "I didn't feel disrespected at all," Moore said on Tuesday. "I spoke with (GM) Jeff Ireland a month ago, and he basically told me that they're obviously in the market for a quarterback and it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Who's not going to go after Peyton Manning?"

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Dolphins missed out on both Manning and Flynn, but signed former Jaguars QB David Garrard, who sat out the 2011 season with a back injury. New HC Joe Philbin said he would have an open competition at the position. Moore said he appreciated Philbin's direct approach. "He was so straight forward, so that was kind of refreshing, he didn't really beat around the bush at all," Moore said. "Personally, you'd love to go in as 'the guy.' But I guess I had a feeling it was going to be something like that, especially under new coaches, new scheme, things like that. It's completely understandable. It will only bring out the best in both of us, or whoever else jumps in. ..." While Moore played well enough down the stretch last year, a healthy Garrard has the experience to make strong push. Stay tuned.
