TRAINING CAMP GOALS
1. Settle the quarterback conundrum. The
Dolphins have been stuck in a quarterback abyss ever since Dan Marino retired in 1999. While there are some decent arms on the roster, there is no guarantee relief comes in 2012.
David Garrard, a 34-year-old veteran, appears to be the front-runner based on his seamless fit into the west coast offense. But incumbent starter
Matt Moore showed promise last season, and is younger. And
Ryan Tannehill represents the future of the franchise, but considering he's only had 19 college starts at Texas A&M, it is likely that the Dolphins' first-round pick will need time to adjust to the speed of the NFL game.
Whichever veteran does end up starting the season opener will need to produce wins to keep Miami from investing playing time in Tannehill late in the season.
