Here's a thought: Maybe the Dolphins' new brass left Saturday exactly as they wanted. Maybe they started to rebuild the offense as needed. Maybe they got the missing speed at receiver and in a return specialist with Ginn and the quarterback of the future in Beck.

Maybe they actually know what they're doing.

You don't have to love Ginn. He's fast. He's dangerous. But he's a receiver in a receiver-deep draft, 175 pounds and has trouble surviving touchdown celebrations. So let's see him get through a NFL season healthy before turning those thumbs up.

Nor did you probably see Beck throw a pass last year at Brigham Young. What you should know is the Dolphins rated him "slightly higher than Quinn," according to a source who spoke after Quinn was bypassed.

So here was the logic: Why draft the much-hyped Quinn with the ninth pick when a less-hyped, slightly-better version of him would be available in the second round? You can question the ranking if you want. But not the logic.

Team owner H. Wayne Huizenga had dinner with Mueller and Cameron on Wednesday, and "knew then what their plan [for quarterbacks] was," he said after Ginn was picked. "But you have to stick around for the second pick to understand it."

Now it's understood. The Mueller/Cameron era will rise or fall on Beck being Quinn, at the very least. They're saying more than Quinn won't be a star. They're betting all their quarterback expertise on the belief Beck will be the quarterback this franchise has sought for years.

good read.

and that's why I'm not upset anymore, our front office knows more about these players then we ever will. We have to trust them.
 
I was never high on Quinn but I didnt expect him to fall so far(I didnt expect Leinart or Brees to fall either). I did expect us to take a QB in the 2nd round but I didnt think our first pick would be Ginn, I was thinking probably Joe Staley. Oh well, hopefully in time Cam will prove all the deniers wrong. I just hoping this isnt Brees/Fletcher part 2.
 
Quins own qb coach agreed with passing on him, Cam a qb guru, agreed on passing on him, and Mueller, someone who has drafted quite a few good QBs passed on quinn, thats enough for me. Beck is our new Marino ( maybe thats a little to much to say) QB of the future and get used to it! Its time to support our players. I love the picks.
 
Maybe. Hope so. I figure Wannstedt knew a lot more about Jamar Fletcher and Eddie Moore than I did so...
 
we went BPA... its very concievable Ginn is more of a sure thing for a WR/KR than Quinn is a QB... Ginn will show some very good things THIS YEAR.... actually, Ginn has things few WRs possess..... Quinn is no rare prospect.
 
Finally a thread that doesnt make me want to scream. The chicken little pass on quinn threads are just getting stupid.

I for one think this article is awesome. I agree with Hyde 100%.

Look at the majority of this board. Look at the 'Dolfans' reaction during the Cameron press conference after they selected Ginn. Its like these people really believe that they know what they're talking about.

So many armchair QBs out there, especially now. If Cameron, Shea, Mueller and everyone else really WANTED Quinn, they WOULD HAVE gotten him.

Why are we a laughingstock? Does anyone know what Beck will do? Who's to say we cant get a QB next year?

Exactly, i start to get optimistic about the Ginn/Beck selection and this brings me right back down to reality. However, I am still excited to see our starting offense 2 or 3 years from now after the first day of this draft.
 
I don't have a huge problem with the QB pick, my beef comes from the idea that you are gonna pay 1st round money (9th overall all no less) for a return man when we let a proven return man and solid #3 WR go in Wes Miller. I mean if you are not gonna pay Wes, then you can't waste a 1st rounder on his replacement. It doesn't make sense, I mean even in the PC all you heard was about Ginn being a returner. NO FREAKING WAY you pay a returner top 10 1st round money. Nothing was even said about him being a WR, and personally I don't see him ever being one in the NFL.
I am not impressed with any move this front office has made to date. Letting Wes and Carter go, now taking Ginn a reach in ANYONES book, I say we are at best 3 years from having even a chance at sniffing the playoffs and much longer before we can talk about being contenders. It is not a good time to be a finfan IMO.
 
Its Very Simple To Understand Why Ginn And Beck Second.first Tomorrow Fins Will Trade For T.green,beck Will Groome Under Green Our Defense Has Only 2 Or 3 Years Left After That The Age Will Be Up For The Defense And For T.green Too.this Means Win Now With Green And Get Beck Ready Couple Of Years From Now.quinn Would Of Take 2 Or 3 Years To Get Things In Order T.green He Already Knows Cam System.win Now Get Beck Ready.
 
Chambers84, what does Ginn have that few receivers have? I'm confused by that statement. A little bit of speed is not rare in an NFL where you now have linebackers running 4.4s. Ginn has nothing that we couldn't have gotten from a second round WR. Quinn does have something that we did not get in Beck: true franchise potential.

By time Beck is "groomed" it's time to draft and groom his replacement for when he retires.
