This thread is not to start the debate about who you want to start at QB this year, Sage or Gus, but it is meant to point out something that this writer in my oppinion has distinctly pointed out...***
what a quarterback switch can mean in a very short time.***
How good this Dolphin team could be next year with a Quarterback I think would be unbelievable.I know we have a couple more things that still need some touchups, but a good QB would drastically turn us into immediate play-off team IMO next year.I know many will say, well this was Buffalo.But look at what a good QB performance by Frerotte did in the opening game against the Bronco's.This team is totally different when the QB's play their part ! Below is the read and link...
Miami 24, Buffalo 23: Turn this game off in the third quarter, and you would have arrived at the following conclusions: J.P. Losman has found his groove as a starting quarterback; Losman and other players weren't merely dispensing hot air with talk that the Bills still were very much in the postseason hunt and intended to perform accordingly the rest of the way; media speculation that Bills president Tom Donahoe's future was in doubt was premature; the Dolphins' passing game is a mess; and Miami is going nowhere with Gus Frerotte as its starting quarterback. But if you stuck around for the fourth quarter, you would have seen the major difference -- Sage Rosenfels taking over after Frerotte was injured while being sacked for a safety in the third quarter -- what a quarterback switch can mean in a very short time. The Dolphins erased a 23-3 deficit with 12 minutes left, as Rosenfels led them on a drive for a touchdown run and then threw two touchdown passes, the second a 4-yard toss on fourth down that Chris Chambers snagged with six seconds left. The Bills saw their defense vanish, along with virtually any hope of winning their once-winnable division.
