The Dolphins need help in a lot of positions, but it is becoming increasingly clear in today's NFL that the franchise quarterback is key, and when you have a chance to get one, you'd better do it.
"They're hard to come by," said Bill Polian, president of the Indianapolis Colts, a team that has no quarterback problem. "If you don't have a good one who can lead you from behind, who can win games in the fourth quarter, then you have to have an absolutely dominant defense and you must have a dominant running game and you must have a dominant kicking game. It's that simple. That's the formula if you don't have the quarterback.
NFL scouts believe Leinart has an edge on Cal's Aaron Rodgers as the best quarterback likely to be in the draft; both are juniors and can't declare their draft eligibility until after bowl games. Scouts say Leinart is more instinctive; Rodgers appears somewhat mechanical at times. The differences, however, are small, and opinions could -- and probably will -- change many times between now and April.
There is also a second tier of draft-eligible quarterbacks to be studied, including Dan Orlovsky (Connecticut), Andrew Walter (Arizona State), Kyle Orton (Purdue), Charlie Frye (Akron) and possibly Alex Smith (Utah).

The question is.Do you believe that it is necesary to have a franchise QB to succeed in the NFL and do you believe the Dolphins should address that need in the upcoming Draft and to what extent?.Or do you believe that we already have a franchise QB in AJ Feeley.?
