they are gonna talk about why one of these three dolphins guys might be out of a guy and they: they showed culpepper, thomas, and taylor. i guarentee its culpepper but they are about to talk about it.
actually i heard nothing about any of them three. all they talked about is miami getting green and they said miami will probably give up a second day
pick and a conditional pick next year
We would be out of our minds if we do that.
The more I've thought about it, the less I'm willing to give up for Trent Green.
I was all for it when the compensation was (as we were lead to believe) a seventh round pick. But as the price from KC has increased, I've had the opportunity to revisit some of my previously held beliefs on the matter, and I've reconsidered a number of them.
1) TG as starter. The effects of the concussion lasted much longer than I thought they would, which leads me to believe you won't see TG play at a pre-2006 level again. 37 years old to boot.
2) TG as mentor to rookie QB. We have Cam and a QB coach. That should be enough. If it isn't, you probably hired the wrong QB coach. If TG gets yanked halfway through season one because he plays like he did in 2006 and he feels he didn't get a fair shot at being the starter... he won't hit his incentives, and it would almost certainly affect how he handles his new mentoring responsibilities.
3) Compensation. Regardless of how low the pick or picks are, I would rather use them on draft prospects where the upside was greater. That sexy-fast WR who's unpolished. That brutish OL prospect that was a walkon his senior year. That gunslinger QB that never played top competition while at Whatsamata U. The upside on Green, at 37 and post concussion, IMO, isn't that great. Steady and competent is the best you can hope for. While we are diddling with the TG experiment, other young QBs are becoming stars and we're slipping further behind.
I'm not opposed to adding Green, but now that Carl Peterson was wasted a month over price-haggling, either the compensation discussion returns to what it was before the Welker/Carr trades, or we call his bluff and wait for Green to get cut. Green will understand; we know this because he holds all the aces with his 7.2mil contract to KC and the fact that he liked our offer enough to agree to it. His agent seems determined to land him in Miami. If, in spite of all this, we lose out on Green, I can live with that. It beats overpaying.
Even if we get Quinn and Green, I'm still hoping Quinn beats Green in training camp to start day one. Maybe overly optimistic, but I'd at least give Quinn the opportunity and I think he has the ability to take advantage of it. Green would understandably be thrilled by this. Just not feeling this is the match made in heaven that I had previously thought.

Nice way of thinking, yea throw the young guy out there to deminish his confidence just like the lions and texans did.
No thank you...
