If you could choose any quarterback in the NFL to be the starter for the Miami Dolphins, who would it be?
Please disregard the fact that it would take time to teach the new QB our system. Assume its a seamless transition.
I choose Eli Manning. He's the best friend of a strong running game, and a big offensive line. He can make all the throws. He is confident in his championship capabilities. His demeanor in the huddle is as cool as they come.
Eli would fit very well with Henning's offense; and would be a model citizen for the type of player Sparano is looking for. And Eli is still a kid.
This thread is not about knocking on Chad Pennington. I can't put into words what Chad means to this team. He was amazing on the final drive. We wouldn't have won without him. But lets just say we throw Chad into a group with all the other QB's in the NFL, and you get to choose just one. Who do you choose?
P.S. I think Chad Henne could my answer to this question 2 years from now.

I think I'd go with Brees, or Cutler as well. Maybe even a healthy younger Carson Palmer

Peyton Manning.

Well seeing as how we passed on Drew Brees like 40 times, (ok it was only 3) I won't even fantasize about it anymore, but he would still be my pick. I'm ecstatic over Penningtons play but it still hurts, just a little deep down that he was a jester.

I pick who we have, it is what it is.
I would have loved to have Jim Brown, Jerry Rice, Mean Joe Green, but what does that get me?Themole likes this. -
Brett Favre obviously.
mostly because he has about 5 ref's in his pocket :) we could use the extra help -
Pretty much anyone on my long list of QB's I wanted to have in a Dolphins uniform to begin with but for some reason didn't or didn't get a fair chance: Drew Brees (2x), Brian Griese (sans Turnstile Smith and WannyJay), Philip Rivers (stock soared after Marino scouted him for us), Jay Cutler (just missed), Brady Quinn (Cam had a brain fart), and Matt Ryan (I still like Jake Long though).

Yep, me too. I guess it might just be a generational thing, but I don't put much stock in fantasy. It's like making love to your fist. I'll take what Chad P is doing for us.Sceeto likes this. -
Peyton is just a no brainer. The Colts should be 3-6 or something like that right now. They are in the hunt only because of Peyton Manning.
There aren't many I'd take over Chad either. AT this point in his career Brett Favre actually isn't one of them. -
Brees. If for no other reason that if we passed on him a 3rd time that would just be sad.

Ben Roethisburger or Drew Brees. MY two favorite Qbs.
-
If you mean any QB now playing, I would go with Manning.
If you mean any QB we had a realistic chance at (once or more) in the last few years, I would go with Drew Brees. -
Pennington, but if I had to pick anyone else, it would be Brees. I know I'll get fried for saying Penny, but he means a whole lot more to this team right now than just his solid QB play. His attitude, leadership, mentality, drive, desire, professionalism, motivation, are all things this young team needs right now more than anything else.
