Dolphins backup QB Matt Moore ready to step back into starting role

Is Matt Moore a step back from the play that Miami Dolphins fans have come to expect from their quarterback?

The answer to that question isn’t as simple as it might look on the surface. The most obvious answer is that Tannehill must be a lot better than Moore simply because in almost five seasons of play, there has never really been a quarterback controversy in Miami. And that argument gains even more ground when you factor in the rumors that former head coach Joe Philbin badly wanted to draft Derek Carr in the 2014 NFL draft to replace Tannehill, yet it was never a question that Tannehill was the starter throughout Philbin's regime.
