Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill now has his own fanbase chanting against him.
Tannehill threw for just 191 yards and two interceptions in Sunday’s 30-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans, bringing the team to a rough 1-4 record with no end to the struggles in sight.
Dolphins fans had seen enough:
Some Miami Dolphins fans are chanting “We want (Matt) Moore!”

Tannehill sacked twice by Orakpo in one series! Dolphins fans chanting "we want Matt Moore."

Not sure I agree with Miami fans that Matt Moore is a better LT than what they're trotting out right now, though.

I don't see how changing QBs to Matt Moore is an upgrade. He's fine in short spurts. Not as your starter longterm.

Who can blame them? Tannehill has been one of the more inconsistent quarterbacks in the league since he entered in 2012 and the team gave him a new contract in the hopes of further improvement.
Instead, fans want to see backup Matt Moore.
Moore, 32, has tossed 33 touchdowns to 28 interceptions over his career after joining the league in 2007. He’s been a reliable backup in both Carolina and Miami, but hasn’t received starting snaps outside of one stint in his career five years ago.
Like some of the notes above, making a switch now given the struggles of the roster around the quarterback might not sit as the best idea.
The question is, will Miami’s coaching staff cave to the demands?
