:tantrum:You guys need to embrace this kid and hope he picks up the system quickly. In MIA, at the games, the fans can be embarrassingly harsh on QBs. Marino's actual legacy is that he spoiled us. I never was a Fiedler fan, but I remember how hard we all were on him. He never had the physical qualities to fill the shoes of his predecessor, but he played his heart out and we booed him. We actually were clamoring for a crybaby (and former JET) Ray Lucas! (Who can forget those six turnovers against Buffalo?) Daunte was injured, no matter what anybody on the team said, he was not ready and yet he forced himself to come back early. We booed him. One moment, he was the third coming, the next (in the same game), he was AJ Feeley.
Nobody can tell what will happen in the coming years, I don't even know if Beck is going to be much better than Fiedler, but I do know I don't like the looks of Quinn compared to this kid. He looks really good. It IS college, and I don't know how many real teams he faced, but his mechanics look good. He doesn't look flustered. He seems mature, smart and quick. He is a little old, but it isn't football old. He took some 3-year sabbatical, which I imagine takes discipline. I think this guy could be playing for several good years, if we don't ruin him with our brutal impatience. Marino is gone, guys and gals. Has been, for almost a decade now. Let's just watch how it all plays out and quit all the booing. Watching the fans react to new coach Cam Cameron was embarrassing.
