One down, one to go.
The Dolphins signed defensive end Phillip Merling to a multi-year contract today, a source said. -
Very good news
-
Great news....Lets get Henne in camp on time as well......:up:
-
Nice. I really wanted to see Merling get signed.
-
:woot:
-
Henne is the guy I want in camp.........I wanna see what he has.
-
Opposite for me, I really wanted to see Merling there.
-
that makes 2 of us ... :up: -
Alright Miami! Can't wait to see him smashing Brady, Edwards and Pennington on Sundays.
-
If Henne starts this year, it most likely means both Beck and McCown are worthless. Henne needs more than just Training Camp and a few practice games to be ready for the NFL... look what happened with Beck when he got thrown in too soon last year. -
I have to believe his groin injury is a thing of the past. I can't see us pushing hard to get him inked if he still wasn't gonna be 100% and on the field. Henne was reported to be the one close to signing by Friday, let's see if that was BS or the truth.
-
great news! get these football players on the field and out of the negotiation rooms!!!
-
-
Sweet!
-
fantastic news, c'mon Henne!
-
GREAT news!! now lets get Henne in there to see what he's got!
-
In fact, I so badly want to see Beck get a chance to prove himself that I will be quite pleased if Henne falls a few days behind Beck.
I would prefer that Henne just gets to practice and learn for at least a year. -
i'm so tired of those ambiguous fiedler/feeley-esque battles where the less sucky guy starts. i'm praying for someone to come in and be a force, be dominant, and be a leader. enough madam butterflies behind center. someone come in and kick-*** for once in this decade!PMZQ, cnc66 and dolfan32323 like this. -
dam, it has been a decade.

yup. human nature is to love your own child a little more than someone else's... and Henne is Parcells/Ireland/Sparano's child. Plus, ANY 2nd ounder on the bench behind a guy who struggles will usually get a look (Trent Edwards).
The thing is, every young QB struggles before becoming great, so I fear the short leash they will have for Beck won't allow him to mature into they incredible player I feel he will be if he gets the extended opportunity to play wihout looking over his shoulder.
Not to mention, putting a rookie is is often detrimental to their confidence and development. Ideally, Beck starts and even if he does so-so the first six games, the regime lets him work through it and he has a very strong last half of the season. Meanwhile, Henne develops. If we are lucky, and Henne looks ready to start in a couple years (like by 2010), we could trade Beck or Henne for a couple 1st round picks in 2011 and 2012.
Then we win the Superbowl in 2014, 15, 16 and 17.
What???? Am I getting ahead of myself? -
