Dolphins in Decade: Ranking the Post Dan Marino Quarterbacks

Frankly, I feel that Penny still gets #1 because I didn't ever feel completely comfortable with Fiedler starting but did with Penny.

Although I did like Jay's toughness and heart.

I also liked A.J. Feeley better thasn Green and Harrington.
 
Only qbs worth talkin about is Fiedler, Gus, Pennington, and now Henne. Fiedler won but that was more of him being on a team with a good defense, he threw way to many ints. Gus was solid and Pennington had one of the best years of his career with Miami. Hope Henne is the man to finally take over for years to come
 
Not sure if I agree with Cleo being over Sage Rosenfels. Without looking at the numbers, he probably threw as many TD's in one half of that Bills game than Cleo could in 4 games. Cleo was lucky to get that one win in his starts, while Sage only had a couple starts but was fantastic in relief on several occasions.

That's a minor beef though.
 
Hard to call Cleo over Sage

I remember Sage leading that comeback over the bills, Wow that was a great game.

Cloe got us that lone win for the season, he just wasn't that good of a QB though.
 
Henne

1.Penny
2.Feidler (just threw up in my mouth) only because of the wins. Would easily start AJ or BG over him.
3.AJ/Greise
4.Ferrotte
5. Huard

The rest were simply awful. Have to say AJ or BG were never given a real chance IMO. Both were talented enough to start for a season considering the alternatives. Just more bad decisions.

I agree with you. I would put Penny over Fiedler.
 
Without a doubt it has to be Chad. Just for the fact that he took a team that went 1-15 the year before and made them a playoff and going 10-6. Also add the fact that he is one of the most accurate QB's of all-time it's a slam dunk

It would be crazy not to. I'd put Huard above Fiedler he did a good job filling in for Marino in 99 and was clearly the best choice but they go with Fiedler. The one bad game he had in 00 I'd give him a pass coming off the bench unprepared but he played a great game the next week to get a big win vs the Colts. I'm counting what he did in 99. Fielder had many more starts but I'd like to forget a lot of them. They had some excellent defenses and one stinking division title to show for it.

I'd even put Frerotte ahead of Fiedler the offense was a lot better under him then I thought.

Henne should be number 1. Penningon took care of the ball a little better but the defense was worse for Henne and he had to try and come back a lot more.
 
Jay Fiedler. God, that name alone just gives me nightmares. I swear, SO MANY people overrate this scrub because he had "a lot of heart" and "he's tough." Well, folks the bottom line was despite all of that Jay Fiedler is no different than any of the other QB's on that list. HE SIMPLY WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH! 69 TD's to 66 INT's, a QBR of 77.1, and a completion percentage of 58.7% were his career numbers in the NFL. Talk about "heart and toughness" all you want but for a franchise quarterback those numbers just don't cut it.

Glorify, and elevate this scrub to a pedastel in which he doesn't deserve all you want, but the fact remains that Jay Fiedler is, was, and always will be a failure as an NFL quarterback.

I don't disagree with that but I would have to say that he was better than most of the steaming pile of poop that has been the Dolphins QBs before Penny and Henne this past decade.
 
Fiedler was a tough sun of a gun. He wasn't scared to run right into the heart of a defense. Oronde did one heck of a job of catching errant passes.

I think Gus got shafted. Saban probably could have competed for the AFC East if he had just kept Ferrotte at QB.
 
The ranking IMO should be as follows; Pennington, Feidler, Frerotte, Henne, Green, Rosenfels, Griese, Huard, Lemon, Harrington, Lucas, AJ, Daunte, & Beck

For the most part, Jay is a scrub. But, considering what and who he had to work with (that includes the head coach) he did a great job.

Ray, Joey, & Cleo are interchangable. I will go to my grave theorizing that Son of Bob did okay and wasn't given long enough to prove himself.

Ranking Henne was tricky. When drafted & on sheer potential, he was better than half those listed.

A lot of good his "winning records" did. No significant playoff wins (Lamar Smith carried that team to a win against the Colts NOT Jay), no Lombardi Trophies, absolutely nothing to show for it. Yeah, Jay's a winner. Too bad the guy never won anything when it counted.
