Well we need somebody, even if they're just here to be a backup.

 

Purple Drank for everyone!

 

Is Pat White that much worse?

 

Please do not call Pat White.

 

Wow! This has been a crazy season.

 

He weighed a reported 286lbs when he worked out for the Skins during their bye week.

 

Tom Brandenstater as well

 

Russell would be a huge waste of time.

 

forget Russell, hell if we're gonna go that route, is Ryan Leaf still available?

 

Did we lose a DE today as well? Because that's about what he looks like now....

 

You know what really weird honestly I have a feeling either thigpen or whoever the backup becomes will be the future QB for the Dolphins for the next 3-4 years.

Weird but I feel it.

 

NOOOOO anyone but him cmon miami what the heck are you thinking!

 

Why not ask Warner to come out of retirement, money talks.

According to Josina Anderson for Fox 31 sports, the Dolphins who were almost forced to bring Dan Marino out of retirement to play quarterback today have contacted Russell to schedule a workout.

 

Who are your suggestions then?

 

I think you have to flip over the rock...well boulder that is JaMarcus Russell, even if just for a workout.

 

EXACTLY, we're down two QBs based on the early reports, so who do we sign???

 

I hope it's for Vernon Carey's backup

 

Russell...NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I remember Brandstater at the 2008 senior bowl. He played well there. Ireland scouted him. He reminds me of Drew Bledsoe; tall lanky guy with a strong arm.

 

Not that simple. If he filed his retirement paperowork with the league, he would have to apply for reinstatement, which I don't think he would be eligible for until next year...?

Now, if he is just a simple free agent with plans file later on...then he can be signed outright.

 

is he available. he wouldnt be a bad option

 

You think we can pull a reverse-Culpepper with this dude and get the Raidah's back? (assuming he is not 350+ lbs. right now)

 

Is Russell still a fatty?

 

Russell sucks and i would hate to have him on this team but if he is signed im not worried about him seeing any playing time

 

Plus Arizona still owns his rights, just like Detroit still owns Barry Sanders rights.

 

1 "Dancing with the Stars" ta-ta is enough

 

Really? We just lost two starting QB's for the season.....Id be REALLY worried about him seeing playing time.

 

Yeah. Schefter said he's getting a try out with the Dolphins.

 

Shoot me.

 

I wouldnt worry too much about it. He got a tryout with the Redskins and couldn't land a back job to Donovan McNabb.

 

Funny for who??

 

I'm sure they'll be working out quite a few QB's.

 

If J. Russell becomes our QB I think my 35+ years as a Phin's fan will come to an end. Either keep Thigpen in there, draft a decent QB next year, etc., but we don't need a 290 pound piece of $%#@ as QB.

 

Russell is horrible. Please no.

 

The one thing Russell proved in Oakland was that he is not an NFL QB. Signing him would serve no purpose what so ever. Perhaps the Dolphins could contact Kurt Warner and see if he is interested in playing out the season. He is no longer on DWTS and I assume he is looking for something to do. You never know. Maybe Warner is tired of being retired and would like another opportunity to lead a team to the playoffs. At least it would be worth the phone call from the Dolphins to find out.
