Chiefs: QB’s Chad Henne and Matt Moore
At this point in their careers, Chad Henne and Matt Moore are essentially one and the same. Two veteran quarterbacks that the Jets could consider to aid Sam Darnold’s development and potentially play in the event of an injury to New York’s franchise quarterback.
With Patrick Mahomes injured earlier this season, Moore stepped in and started two games for Kansas City. He led them to a 1-1 record and kept the team afloat, he completed under 65 percent of his passes for 659 yards and four touchdowns.
Moore seems the more likely veteran quarterback option here, due to his past experience with Adam Gase in Miami. Moore threw for 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions in eight games he played for Gase.
“I enjoyed my time with Coach Gase,” Moore told Newsday on Thursday. “I had some success with Coach Gase. I think he’s a great offensive mind. He might be a little different at the podium. He is who he is. That’s who he is. He’s there to coach ball, so I think anything else is like distracting him from coaching football. I don’t fault him for that. He loves the game. He’s a good offensive mind. I think he’ll be all right up there.”
In any event, neither Henne nor Moore is an upgrade over Trevor Siemian, who could be re-signed to backup Darnold for the second consecutive year.
