When has he been given the chance to show anything?

What do you consider a chance?

I guess if Gradkowski sucks, the obvious choice is Moore. However, it's possible that some franchise will be stupid enough to sign him on to be their starter. If not, then Miami's almost certainly going to want him back and will give him a deal that will satisfy him.

Also, for those who want to go the draft-two-QBs route:

Would you be opposed to the strategy I mentioned in the OP as long as the Chiefs took a 3rd/4th round QB in 2014 instead?

Nope. Take Smith in the 1st and draft a developmental QB in the 3rd/4th round range. Someone like a Logan Thomas if he comes out. Work on his accuracy and let him sit for a couple of years.

Well when you are 3rd string behind Dan Orlovsky and or Shaun Hill you have to do you showing in practice and training camp because those guys are not very good.
Stanton has played in 12 games with a 55.6 completion percentage while throwing 5 TDs and 9 INTs.

I was on board with the draft two QB's, but realistically it just doesn't make sense. If you draft a guy in the top 5 then he is your guy for the foreseeable future, a late round guy would be a waste. A undrafted Rookie FA would accomplish the same thing IMO.

Now that it's fairly certain (god willing) that Cassel is gone, we really need to get Stanzi in some games to see if he has anything to offer. That way we have a better picture going into the draft and next year regarding the QB situation.

Yes, but what if an immature Tyler Bray comes out and falls to the 3rd. I think that would be hard to pass up on this year even if we draft a QB with the 1st.

All of this depends on how far Barkley drops. While I doubt he's going to drop this far, if Barkley dropped as far as the back half of the 1st round, I would trade back into the first round and grab him in heartbeat. QB's are the currency of football. Any time you can have multiple potential starters on your team, you do it.

You can never have enough good QBs.

lets get that steamy turd Blaine Gabbert as our backup. Surely he will be cut by that mustache pirate owner

So has Tim Tebow. Any one want to go there LMAO

No.

In 2009 and 2011 (when Moore got an extended chance as the teams starter) he played pretty damn good.

2009 (5 starts for Carolina)
4-1 w/l record

2011
12 starts for Miami

The guy is also only 29 and would probably be worthy of a 2 or 3 year deal as a backup.

Actually, yes.
