Being That It's A One Year Deal Might Suggest...

Did you feel the same about Peyton?

Both Pro Bowl qb's in 2010.
Both injured and missed 2011
both age 34+.

David Garrard v. Peyton Manning

In an effort to save some valuable time, I'll let you make the first argument and then I'll go from there.

...that if moore gets injured, we have a potentially capable back up qb on the ready.

A guy who has not played in over a season & coming off back surgery & is 34 years old is that guy? Ugh

"potentially"

::shrugs::
who knows, maybe he gets cut in preseason?

at lthe east garrard has experience w/ the WCO from Jax, which his experience might help moore process it too. (hoping)

Funny how the same guys who thought Manning couldn't POSSIBLY play again are all rejoicing over ireland's latest blunder like he is a savior of the franchise.

There's an agenda here and I know what it is.

DONE until and unless Tannehill is drafted. Bye guys.

That's a solid reason to draft, in the late rounds, huge OL men -- not just to protect Moore, but to open holes for Bush.

who is that girl in your sig?

There is no way David Garrard wins the starting job. He might be given a chance to "win" the job but I just can't see him doing it.

He's 34. He didn't play at all last season. That's a huge deal in the NFL. You can't take years off like that and just step back in unless you're some kind of freak athlete. David Garrard is not that kind of player. Matt Moore has the momentum going into camp.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if David Garrard doesn't make it to the 53 man roster.

This. Garrard will be given a chance to comepte for the starting job, but I dont think he will win it. I beleive the intentions were to sign him to be a good insurance policy in case something happens to Moore

I notice how everyone is fixated on the fact that Garrard is only signed for one year. Yet, everyone is forgetting that Moore is only under contract for 1 more year as well. Basically, as things sit right now, at the end of the season the only QB the Dolphins have under contract is Devlin. They are going to have to draft someone in this draft or go "all in" in next years draft for a guy like Barkley.

That is what I read with the Garrard signing......they intend to draft a QB.

Why do people keep saying this when the biggest FA signing this year was from a QB who did just that, took a whole year off, so what gives?
