Is Huard the Dolphins version of the "Curse of the Bambino"

Miami has been in a tailspin as far as the QB position goes since Dan retired and things are up in the air now in 2005.

OK ..... now I know Huard is no Bambino but he did earn championship rings from Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII with New England.

Marino personally worked with the mobile Huard and he had Marino's endorsement as his successor and Huard went 5-1 when called on to start when Marino was hurt.

Marino is quite an act to follow but Huard relishes the challenge. After starring for the Frankfurt Galaxy in 1998, Huard moved up the Dolphins depth chart and went 5-1 as a starter in relief of Marino last season.



Marino said: "Damon's a heck of a guy. He's capable of doing the job. He did well last season when he played." And Huard revealed the advice given to him by Marino when he admitted: "Dan said, 'There's going to be highs and lows. Just keep fighting. Have that same mentality when you have three interceptions as you do when you have three touchdowns. Keep firing away'."

While Huards career hasn't been stellar I just wonder how different the Phins and Huard would have been instead of going with the Feidler option.

IF marino hadn't of choked like he did. and held the ball laces out than Ray Finkle would have never missed that kick and we would have gotten a ring in 84 :lol:

Marino said of working with Carrey. "I still walk around and people come up to me and yell, 'laces out Dan' and have the lines memorized and everything. It was a really good experience."

During Chris Berman’s introduction of inductee Dan Marino, one of the cameras cut to someone in the crowd waving a posterboard that read, “LACES OUT, DAN!â€Â.

Love the "ace stuff guys"...

and, er, didn't Ray Lucas have a similar win ratio in relief of Testaverde at the Jets before he came over here to advance his career in fast food service?

:D :hide:

2003-Feidler, Griese, Rosenfels
2003-Feidler, Ray Lucas,Rosenfels
2001-Feidler, Ray Lucas,Rosenfels Draft-Josh Heupel, Oklohoma
2000-Feidler, Damon Huard,Lamar Smith threw one pass, no other QB is listed
1999- Dan Marino, Damon Huard, Scott Zolak
1998-Draft John Dutton, Nevada


QB position has been in a sad state since Marino retired.
I can't believe we can't find one stable QB over the years to get the Phins over the hump.

If the team isn't going to draft a young QB to develop....then bring in a big name vetern.

Bledsoe was out there, Warner, Kerry Collins, ................ bring in Jeff George to hand off and throw some bombs.

Unretire Marino.

I just don't have confidence in whose on the roster now.

I don't disagree with the decision not to draft a QB with the 2nd pick because it's been proven over and over lower round pick are just as productive or even more productive than the top picks.

would this be Collier County ?
 
You're comparing Babe Ruth to Damon Huard? PLease. That's like saying we're gonna be cursed now because we released ED Perry. Get real. dumb *** post. But great Ace Ventura quotes everyone.
 
Its a good thing we won again in 73' cuz otherwise the "curse of the undefeated season" would haunt like no other sports curse in history.
 
This is no curse -- it's what half the league goes through all the time. There are only so many franchise QBs available.

Dumb post??? He's simply asking what we think it would have been like if Huard had taken over the QB spot. Very good observation and question I think.:shakeno: And what's this Babe vs Damon thing about???? I hope you aren't saying he is comparing Huard to Marino!
 
If Huard had taken over the QB spot, this team would have probably gone though Dave Wannstedt *and* Steve Spurrier as coaches, Wayne would be looking to sell the team and/or move it to LA, and there would be little to no hope that the team would contend any time soon.

Those of you who lament the Jay Fielder years would have loathed Damon Huard at QB. The person who brought up Ray Lucas came closest to hitting the mark.
 
The curse of the bambino related to the Red Sox who actually had a good team most of the time they were 'cursed'. The difference is that our QB situation is just clogged with middle aged ball boys.
