What do Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Eli Manning, Alex Smith, Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Stafford all have in common with the Dolphins’ Matt Moore?

If you said a quarterback rating in the top 10 of the NFL you are one of the few who guessed right.

While the Dolphins defense deserves much of the credit for the team’s turnaround and 4-1 record during the past five weeks, it’s hard to ignore what Moore has done over the same stretch. He has completed 64.3 percent of his passes (83 of 129) for 1,063 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception (107.47 rating).

In Sunday’s 34-14 win over the Raiders, Moore impressed coach Tony Sparano not only with the throws he made on the run, but the ones he didn’t, opting instead to scramble five times for a total of 22 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown run. During his past five games, Moore has run 17 times for 44 yards and added a dimension to his game that has made him a little more dangerous.

“His mobility is honestly better than I would have anticipated that part of it being, throwing on the run, doing those things,’’ Sparano said Monday. “There’s a lot of things that can go wrong when you’re doing that, and Matt’s done a pretty good job of taking care of the ball that way.’’

Sparano singled out back-to-back plays on Miami’s second drive when Moore scrambled for 13 yards and, after that gain was negated by a holding call, escaped a collapsing pocket for another 14 yards to set up a 33-yard Dan Carpenter field goal that made it 6-0.

“Those were things where he could have made a different decision, but he took care of the football, got us into field-goal range and got us points,’’ Sparano said. “Those were signs of good maturity.

“He did a nice job in the ball game, I thought, of extending plays and making some hard-bodied throws, couple to [ Anthony] Fasano, one to Brandon [ Marshall].

“They were really difficult throws to make, and he did a good job that way.”

Moore didn’t exactly do that often enough in his first four games with the Dolphins.

In his first month under center, Moore completed 59.1 percent of his passes for 706 yards with a touchdown and four interceptions. He ran the ball just eight times for 29 yards and often forced passes under duress.

“He’s progressed greatly, he’s matured and he is running this team as a quarterback should," Fasano said Sunday.

“Everything is slowing down for him,’’ receiver Davone Bess said.

“He’s doing a great job going through his reads, going through his checks and making the big throw and pulling the trigger when you need to.’’

Jerry praised

Second-year guard John Jerry, a third-round pick taken ahead of Saints tight end Jimmy Graham, made his first start of the season Sunday in place of the injured Vernon Carey, who was out with an ankle injury and “did some really good things,’’ according to Sparano.

“[There are] three or four plays that John will watch [Monday that] he’ll learn from because he hasn’t been out there for that extended period,’’ Sparano said.

“The one thing that John does very well for a big guy is he can move his feet really well. He has power. He moved some people [Sunday] at times.’’

It was a bit of surprise Jerry started Sunday. Nate Garner replaced Carey when he was injured against the Cowboys.

Sparano said Jerry started because he was more of a “natural guard.’’ Sparano said Garner played 28 snaps against the Raiders on Sunday, most coming in the fourth quarter.

Schedule break

Sparano said the 10-day break between the Thanksgiving Day loss at Dallas and the win versus the Raiders allowed his coaches to get a jump on the 4-8 underachieving Eagles, who visit Sun Life Stadium on Sunday at 1.

The Dolphins, winners of three in a row at home, haven’t won four in a row on their own turf since 2002.

“Every year you study ‘chunk’ plays, and they’re always at the top,’’ Sparano said of the Eagles. “A large part of it has to do with improvising. Michael [ Vick] can extend plays, he can run, he can do all the things that create 20- to 30-yard plays, chunk plays. And you can’t allow those things to happen.

“We have our hands full. We know that. We have two hungry teams playing, and it’ll be fun.’’

Vick, who has missed the past three games with broken ribs, practiced Monday and told Philadelphia reporters he expects to play Sunday.
