INDIANAPOLIS -- Perhaps you've heard already: the Miami Dolphins are in the market for a quarterback. There are myriad rumors about who they want; Matt Flynn works because Joe Philbin's his old coach. Peyton Manning works because, well, he's Peyton Manning. What about Robert Griffin III? And don't sleep on Ryan Tannehill, who Mike Sherman coached at Texas A&M.

According to Philbin and general manager Jeff Ireland, the team is in fact open to a short-term solution at the position, despite having never successfully filled the role since the departure of my esteemed colleague Mr. Marino many moons ago.


"I don't think it has to be a long-term solution," Ireland said. "I think you can get a short-term solution. Obviously you'd like a long-term solution, but you can do both. You can certainly try and get both in that regard. But it's my job to try and grow the team for today and for the future. And Joe's responsibility is to try and win today with a mind to the future as well."

in other words....we want a vet and draft a QB in the first 2 rounds to groom.

Ozzy rules!!
 
I see where Vince The Brainiac Young is not returning to Philly. WC Offense, or not: Please, please, please, NOT HIM!
 
Yeah Jeff don't fix what ain't broken....it's been working so well with everyone's leftovers. I hope he's posturing or he clearly is not capable of managing a team in today's NFL.
 
Translation from Ross/Ireland speak ... to REAL SPEAK:

Ross is desperate to avoid an empty stadium & Ireland is desperate to avoid getting fired.

Outside of those 2 facts ... won't do us much good ... we'll just draft lower & prolong the Slow Rebuild Torture.

Ah yes, like spending the rent & food money for a couple hours on the crack pipe!! Smoke UP, we'll find a way to eat & pay rent Manana!!
 
Lets pray this means, Dolphins OK with short term QB for now until they draft Matt Barkley in 2013. I say we stockpile picks so we can move up next year draft our franchise QB.

you never give up do ya. its gonna smack you in the *** soon enough joe.
 
the reality is that the dolphins are playing all the cards. Now the RG3 talk heats up and it would not surprise me to find out we already made st louis an offer and are willing to possibly give more. Peyton manning is setting all the tone for us. get a clue. Ireland is not stupid and the more you knock his *** the more you look like school children.
 
Hearing Ireland's press conference left me feeling we are taking a Pass Rusher, defensive end with the 1st round pick.

He should make people think this. This is what others are looking for from every top picking team, to Jets, New England, San Diego (still)....yeah, when the early run on DE's happens, people like Vinny Curry smile. oh, buffalo too. jeez, i think the entire league is looking for a pass rusher.
 
Haven't we been in a "Short term fix for QB" since Marino retired???

I dunno about the rest of you, but I am sick of saying, "We will get our franchise QB next year." I don't have too many "next years left in me.

If they trade out of this pick and get some additional picks this year, plus next year's first, I would be listening to offers.
