In saying that I agree the qb depth in the draft is not good where we are going to be picking,and the free agents next year are going to suck.Please people stop bringing up vick the eagles are not stupid.
I think we are going to be stuck with this guy for 1 more year unless the head coach gets fired which is a small possibility.
My somber prediction is we will again be rebuilding with a new coach and qb in two years.How depressing. -
I know we've been screwed before by Philly QBs, but I'm interested in one of their guys. I'd only bring one of them in with the caveat of getting one of those Holmgren tree--QB gurus in here as a QB coach or OC, along with bringing in some type of speed demon on the outside.

Of course what that means for the Dolphins is they are stuck with trying to develop Henne. Unfortunately for us Dolfans. That means we are stuck with a mediocre QB
for at least another year. Which also means that we should not expect anything more than a mediocre record from the Dolphins again next year. Of course the Eagles just might be willing to trade Kevin Kolb if they sign Vick to a long term contract. I would certainly take Kolb over Henne as the long term answer at QB for the Dolphins. -
wouldnt have to trade anythin for locker......we will have middle pick, he should last that long (being 3rd qb taken behind luck, mallet)

The problem is that whomever you trade for/sign, they really automatically become the starting QB. If they aren't then it's considered a wasted draft pick or spending of money. That's why I'd really be more interested in drafting a guy--no matter what round it is--and saying alright you're competing against Henne and Thigpen for the starting job.
Whereas you go the other route, you're saying Henne isn't the guy, Thigpen isn't the guy, but this guy is. So, if you make a trade for Kevin Kolb, or sign Mike Vick/whomever, etc. then you'd better be darn sure that they are the guy. That's why I say if you do something like that, it better with the caveat of giving him all the familiar things that are making him successful over there. You don't bring one of those guys and fit him into your system. -

A big hell no on Terrelle Pryor

Not really too difficult. Every other QB can do this - why not Henne? I want to see him develop - but at what cost? -
Henne is our guy, love it or hate it. I've been making this argument since he was benched. Theres no real way for us to really improve the position, sans some crazy trade up like the browns gave the jets for sanchez.

It only makes sense to draft a QB in this year's draft. Henne will start regardless. Sink or swim we'll at least have a plan B. This year's crop has tons of potential. The Dolphins need to make sure they have a guy who can actually develop the guy.
You can always trade a 1st round unknown QB a lot easier for more in return than any other position. -
I have been patient and have not said anything one way or the other regarding the QB situation this year. I'm done. I'm not mad, just ready to see someone new run the offense and draft a qb. Our staff has enough confidence in Henne to run it up the gut on third and 8. Thats about as much as I believe in him also. Nolan is awesome and will have the D better next year. Get Cam Newton.Roman529 likes this. -

Do some of you even watch locker or luck play enough to know who is "nfl ready" ? or are you just listening to some radio show host?

No. He is not good IMO. Only thing he's got going for him is a quick release.
No thank you.
He is Chad Henne 2.0 in terms of inconsistency and mistakes.
Inconsistent.
Has upside but far from a finished product. His release is high, low, and sidearm every game. He's so inconsistent.
No thank you to Vince Young.
I actually like him but I don't want a QB high.
NO.
I wish. Only exception to taking a QB high.
No thank you.
I'll take Kyle Orton, sure.

Havent seen much of any of them..can really only go on what is out there in the draft journals...
Ive been watching WVU football...
It just seems the most logical, realistic thing to do is to put in an OC that will build an offense Henne can do well in...we need deep speed in the form of a WR..(draft is very deep at WR)...try and find some interior OL help..depth at ILB..solve our RB issue...R Brown..someone else..etc...
I'd take Locker, he's been mentioned for years now. I think he's got the stones to play in the NFL like Matt Ryan. Not a great QB, but a winning one.
I'll take their WR (#1).
I have defended Henne for a long time and thought he would be our QB. But after today I kind of got fed up with him. He is too inconsistent, inaccurate, and makes poor decisions. I am jumping on the QB 1st round bandwagon, and I think Cam Newton is the one im leaning towards because it is realistic for him to be where we will be drafting. Locker say no to, not gonna be good. Lets get Newton!
Henne should be showing some improvement now in his 3rd year in the league. He looks worse than he did in 2009. The defense held the Browns to 13 points, and only 10 points before the last INT. But he just looks like more of the same that we've been dealing with since 2000, and the Dolphins remain a mediocre franchise while teams like the Chiefs, Saints, Buccaneers, Falcons, Jets, Jaguars, etc blaze past them.
If you count playoff wins then every team except the Lions, Bengals, Browns, Bills, and Chiefs have surpassed the Dolphins. How much longer do you keep waiting on a QB who might improve with a new OC. Just keeping going on and on.

All Cam Newton does is WIN. You clowns who think Newton is like Pryor of Ohio State have not seen him play. Newton is a taller stronger better passing Vince Young type, and he has about the same speed as Michael Vick. If we are going to run the Wildcat there is nobody who would do a better job than Cam Newton. Even if we go away from the Wildcat we need a strong mobile QB. We have no shot at getting Luck, and Locker and Mallet are no different than Henne.

People have given up on Henne after only a year and half, how much time would they give a rookie?

Not to defend dan henning but do you think he is running the tired wildcat because he has no faith in the qb.
Ryan brought his team back from 10 pts down today in the 4th quarter after throwing one of the best sideline passes a qb can make on 3rd and 12 to pick up a key first down to keep the winning drive alive.He has been doing this all year that is one of the main reasons they are 10 -2.Henne on the other hand has the 2nd most ints in the nfl in the 4th quarter.This guy plays his worst when we need him the most.
