Stick with Henne

 

Go get a Dartmouth grad!

 

The best way for the Dolphgins to find a future NFL pro bowl QB is for them to finish with the worst record in the NFL next year. This way they will have the first pick in the 2012 draft and they will be able to select Luck with their first pick. Of course if Ireland is still the GM. He will probably not draft Luck and opt to draft another offensive lineman instead. As Joe Rose stated, the mantra for Dolphin fans next year should be, "Suck for Luck".

 

Whatever the organization thinks they should do, they should do the exact opposite.:lol:

 

No thanks Rose can Suck for Luck, real men have pride.

 

go 0 and 16 next year..lol..

seriously...study tape and find him.

 

give Henne a shot with a real coach who can develop a QB ... Chudz or the guy from GB ... i call this year a wasted year for Chad, both in coaching and development. Take away all the threats, piss poor game plans and just let him go out and play for 1 year and relook it next year. But certainly bring in Henson or Dixon to push for back-up .... Thigpen just needs to go .... and maybe Brandstater is a golden nugget (he was a 6 rd pick after all) ....

Neither Kolb or Vick are leaving PHI, don't like VY - especially if Fisher can't work with him, and Orton (who would be my choice to bring in) would cost too much to get him. McNabb has been done ....

 

Henne

 

not sure if it is luck per se .... but it is absolutely finding a match between QB, 'system' and timing-experience with playmakers ...

 

Move to the NFC where there's less competition

 

Well, the one thing that strikes me is that we have never tried..PATIENCE..only Fieldler had the benefit of the doubt, every other Qb since him has been hated within 1 yr of starting typically.

As for the larger question, an All Pro Qb?

Sign Vince Young

 

yes but your chances of hitting are better with the scout with the better eye.

 

[

Easy. Buy tickets to the Pro Bowl, go to the game,look for the player directly behind the center, point to him and say... " theres a Pro Bowl QB".

 

Kidnap aaron rodgers.

 

Haha, make a book for Ross titled "Where's Aaron Rogers?" instead of "Where's Waldo"

 

:hi5: :lol:

 

think the jets are proving you dont need one to reach the afc championship. we'll need one to win it all but we dont need to panic about it. most important thing is fixing our oline and reestablishing the run. thats good enough to make the playoffs and win in them and it buys us time for either henne to develop or us to find a a competant top 16 QB. For next year, I would like to just sign a non descript guy like shaun hill or hasselbeck or gradkowski just in case henne falls apart and rebuild our runnning game. if henne doesnt improve then we in 2012 we have to find a real QB.

 

Develop one.

Draft their guy this year in whatever round and continue to let Henne take the heat.

He's a big boy. He can take it.

and then draft another one next year and the year after that and continue to do so until someone beats out Henne.

 

Well, just to be clear Bro, Hill resigned with the Lions.

As for a stopgap, ugh, every year the same thing, and I like Gradkowski.

INOW, if Young hits the market, he would make sense as at least there is some hope he could do a bit more in the long run.

 

I'd rather give Thiggy the shot, Henne is what he is, 28 games in, we sort of know what to expect from #7.

If Sparano sticks with him then if he is canned that is on him.

 

Chad Pennington

 

hes still thiiiiiiinking.

 

If Sanchez can make it to the AFC Conference title round 2 years in a row, we don't need a Pro Bowl QB,
but we DO need an experienced OC, who isn't senile, gets people on the same page, executing with efficiency, moving the ball as we did in 08.

Repair Penningtons shoulder, but this time double stitch, and reinforce everything, sew in bubble wrap for pete's sake, or make it bionic.

 

And I guess you want to hear "Suck for Luck" at the games ? I don't understand......

 

pay the price & the QB will be there.
simply, make it the priority.
stop the procrastination & excuses.
we go nowhere w/o the franchise QB

 

I'd trade the next 5 years worth of 1st round picks to get Aaron Rodgers.

 

That's not necessarily true. In the infamous class of '83 the QB coming out of the draft that all the analysts said we'd be talking about as one of the greatest QB's ever was going to be Tony Eason...drafted before Dan Marino....drafted before John Elway...drafted before Jim Kelly.

There's no guarantee Andrew Luck is going to be a Marino, Elway or Kelly. he could end up being a Tony Eason or even worse...what's his name....that jerkie from San Diego that imploded....having a brain cramp right now

 

Nah, Elways was always the class of the 83 Draft, everyone knew he would go #1 overall, but back then he also played minor league baseball and told the Colts not to draft him, they had taken Art Schlecter the yr before with a #1 pick but they drafted him anyway.

"Champagne Tony" Eason was highly touted, but not like Elway.

The real shock that yr was Ken O'Brien being taken by the Jets after Richard Todd was coming off of a solid season.

Exactly, folks who think "gosh we should lose so we can draft..."

Are simply overwrought, though TBH I am warming up to Vince Young a bit.

 

Don't worry guys Ireland just put up an ad in Craigslist. Problem solved.

 

I'm sure Thigpen gets another shot if he sticks around (FA I think?) and I expect to see at least a couple of new faces.

But who's available in FA that you look at and say "wow" that's a huge upgrade and likewise, of the potential draftees?

Henne did nothing this year to show he is ever going to be anything more than a journeyman at the QB position. But as of right now, he's the best QB on the team.

 

This thread is about PRO BOWL QBs. Why anyone on our current roster is being mentioned is beyond me.

 

"With a new QB coach and offensive coordinator, Chad Henne will blossom into a pro-bowl QB."

"Lets draft a QB in the late rounds and groom him."

"The light didn't turn on for Drew Brees until his 4th season."

"Lets trade a 2nd for somebody else's backup."

I've been hearing these same ideas for about 10 years now.

Guess what? The Dolphins have done them all and have failed in every case.

Did anyone notice that the final four teams in the playoffs all have first round QBs?

Drafting a QB in the first round is the one thing that the Fins HAVE NOT done since Marino (a 1st rounder btw). Yes I know someone is going to say "Well there are a lot of busts in the first round like Ryan Leaf, Alex Smith, Joey Harrington, etc."

Well So what? These guys were first round picks because they were the top QB prospects in the years they were drafted. The Fins need to invest in a TOP PROSPECT in a QB. Sure there is risk, but thats a risk they finally need to take.

Chad Henne was not a top prospect. He had flaws such as accuracy issues, delivery issues, trouble reading the field, etc. Guess what, he still does. Thats why hes a late 2nd round pick. You got what you paid for.

My point is, get a conviction about a top tier prospect and go get him! Do whatever it takes. If you don't that we well continue to be what we have been for the last 10 years: mediocre and irrelevant.

 

Expend what you need till you get what you need.

Miami hasn't done that and the results are , well the results.

This year we have a mid level first round choice, there appears to be some potential future franchise QB's available. Do all the homework required by scouts , management that is needed , if you get a conviction on someone , make the deal to get the player.

You are always going to be chasing that QB till you get him , solve that , then build around him. Rather Miami do that and level off for a couple years than pretend they have addressed the issue only to be back to where we were in 2 to 3 seasons.
