DAVIE–The term “gunslinger” gets thrown around to describe reckless quarterbacks from time to time, the best recent example being Brett Favre, and that definition is fairly consistent with what the dictionary says.
Dolphins offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen would like to offer a different take on the word, especially as it pertains to quarterback Matt Moore. Enjoy.
“I think gunslinger is a complementary phrase, to me, that means he doesn’t have fear,” Christensen said. “A lot of guys who haven’t played in four or five years would come in there tentative and start taking check-downs and would… be conservative and not want something bad to happen.
