Not that Cleo lemon is the second coming of Dan Marino, but when he's played he's hown me that he can do everything Joey can, and then some. What do you all think?
 
I agree, I have more confidence in Lemon as our backup than Harrington, but I think Lemon is a RFA, so lets see what happens with that
 
Actually I think Harrington has shown me more. Cleo has potential but is clueless as of yet on how to read defenses and still needs to do homework on game situation management. But he showed promise. If he were a rookie I would be excited. Considering he'll be in his fifth year next year I'm a little concerned that he's still making rookie mistakes
 
Yes....it's called Culpepper and Lemon. It's better to keep all three...until the Dolphins find out what they have left in Culpepper.
 
Cleo looked good enough to resign and have an open QB camp. He had similar stats as Joey when Ronnie has a good game.

Keep all three QBs and rank them in Qb camp.
 
They should cut Lemon they could use the cap room anyways.

Ok, but Harrington also still makes these rookie mistakes. Plus, Lemon has mobility; I'd be more than happy with Lemon as our back up QB.

Let's see Harrington was 5-6 including wins against Chicago, NE, KC. He had a QB rating of over 90 when throwing to anyone but Chambers. Culpepper was 1-3 and Lemon was 0-1. Think I would take my chances with Harrington and replacing Chambers on the roster.

Actually Harrington makes different type of mistakes. His presnap judgement of what the defense is doing is way ahead of Cleo. His audibles are usually correct which is something that Cleo doesnt do. Joey will play error free until he feels he has to show something and then he'll force it. Cleo seemed more relaxed and more confident but that led him to throw some passes that were very questionable. At the end of the day, its still too early to fairly evaluate Cleo but it seems to me if we were to start him for any extended period of time we would have a lot of rookie growing pains to go through. Unfortunately its going to be his fifth year in the league next year so I'm not sure if time isnt running out for the guy to get the mental aspect of the game. What the game showed me is why Cleo has been on the bench all year. While you're in a playoff hunt you play Harrington, when you're out you try to get Cleo some experience. Saban made the right moves with the QBs he was given
 
Yes, get rid of Joey. Lemons 65.7 QB rating and getting us in field goal position with little effort against the 20th ranked defense is more then enough for me to say. Lemon is the man
