    Well anybody wanting Vince Young we have our shot now. He was just released. I know that Orton is the talk right now, but I really dont feel like getting Orton brings anything really different than what we already have in Henne. Vince Young on the other hand brings a whole new angle for the Fins. The big question about Vince Young is his head. Can he keep his mind in football and can he learn and run the offense the right way. I personally would rather take the chance with Vince than pay Orton 7 Million when he doesn't look much better than what we have with Henne for cheap. I think Vince is going to be low risk and possibly very high reward.

    Well, if anything it's a bit more leverage in dealing with Denver.

    You can get Young without giving up to much and he brings a unique factor to the game. I think this wouldn't be a dumb thing to do.

    Ya now is when things get moving. Team will talk with Vince, then either use him as leverage with Denver, or say Screw Orton and go with VY (or both).

    Meanwhile Denver might be going for some leverage having Orton taking first-team reps in camp so far..(or maybe they're serious, who knows)

    I'd take Young over Orton, if only to avoid any draft pick compensation.

    Plus, Young still has considerable upside while Orton is what he is.

    I'd love to see us get VY for less money than Orton and no draft pick.

    Question though: Now that we have Reggie, do we get the deed to the Rose Bowl if we sign Vince too?

    Well, I guess the one upside to getting VY would be that at least now, after a loss, when he blows off all his responsibilities and goes to South Beach he can't escape his coaches and fellow teammates.

    I really like the idea of bringing VY in, reminds me of way back when I was one of the few people in my circle of friends that thought we should bring in Michael Vick. Philly signed Vick to a low risk one year deal, and look how that has panned out. I don't see why Miami can't do something similar with Vince Young.

    I'm thinking that we re-signed McD to give Denver Merling in place of a pick, although we may have to add a bit. I'm not sold on Orton but, if he comes in at around $6M a year, I won't complain. I still believe Henne will be our starter.

    Young is leverage, and a possible back up option.

    This actually makes sense to me. I say what the heck and just go for it. We need to get over the 7-9 to 9-7 hump. This may help. If not, we are where we were to begin with.

    According to a link in the Orton-Thread, we gave it up for Reggie Bush. Though that link doesn't seem totally convincing, hence my use of apparently.

    Young has a ton more upside than Orton. Hell, the fact that he can avoid a tackle already puts him ahead of Orton and Henne...I'm also not buying the negative spin on him. However, I have little faith that Sparano can handle anything other than a yes man. Sooo, hello Orton (Henne 2.0). Maybe if we use Henne on 3rd downs and not in the 4th quarter we'll micromanage our way to a playoff berth...

    Pads probably had to shut down to clean the man juice off his key board and monitor. All the excitement of either of his 2 favorite choices soon coming to Miami, it was more than he could control. :lol:

    Now there's only the small matter of the 273 CFL players he wants us to sign, but I'd guess Ireland might find some time and squeeze a dozen or so in tomorrow.

    Wouldn't it be nice to use a player as leverage instead of the opposite for a change?

    Silly argument. You assume he would have had the same level of success in our offense with Dan Henning as he did with Andy Reid in Philly.

    This just helps us in Orton negotiations. I hope we end up with Young!

    According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Dave Hyde, Vince Young has been the Dolphins' No. 2 target at quarterback behind Kyle Orton.
    Young will be released by the Titans later this afternoon, which could play havoc with any leverage the Broncos may have enjoyed in trade talks. With Kevin Kolb almost certain to land in Arizona by the end of the day, Denver may be forced to accept a fourth-rounder for Orton

    not sure if this is any type of update , but playing hardball is a good sign imo

    No doubt in my mind we end up with one of these guys as our starting QB this season.

    Yes, I appreciate the fact that Ireland had the foresight not to cave in to Denver's demand for a 2nd rounder. I think Orton is a safer pick up, but Young could be dynamic in the right scheme and situation. Either way we need another QB for our new scheme.

    Slow your roll there Mr C, both were predictable, what concerns me is if we actually had interest in them or not, or wish to charge the machine gun nest of a season with the wrong end of the bayonet known as Chad Henne leading the charge.

    I fully expect VY in Philly, if makes it to Miami, great, if not, and we miss on Orton, and we sign Matt Moore as "competition"

    Well, he is my #2 Qb to bring in, but "hope" is a bit strong, more like "settle for/mind right/humbled/willing to work harder then anyone/in shape/has the quietezt" then sure.

    Let the Vince Young era officially begin in Miami.

    No, seriously...before we spend a pick and a bunch of money on Orton.
