Active Roster
I think the Daunte is far and away the best QB in Miami since Dan Marino and that he is far and away the best QB on our roster. Why? I'll tell you why and cite examples (I can't believe I'm going to spend this much time on a message board post, I'm pathetic.)
I'm not going to tell you about the things Daunte has done before Miami, you all already know that he is a proven, accomplished (but not perfect) player. I'm also not going to tell you that he is the best QB in the league or even in the AFC east. I would take a Tom Brady or a Donovan McNabb or a Jake Delhomme (The most underrated player in the NFL IMO) over Culpepper.
Daunte has a CANNON, he can throw the ball very far and hit a very small target without a problem. Remember last week on 3rd and 22(?) when he hit Chris Chambers on a long out pattern? The Steelers (a top 3 defense) KNEW we needed 22 yards and they still couldnt stop us, Pep put the ball right between the numbers and Chris made the catch and stepped out of bounds. Very few QBs possess the ability to make that throw (including Joey Harrington, sorry kids). At least five times per game I am amazed at a throw he makes.
Daunte makes good decisions most of the time. Under the same situation, most NFL QBs probably wouldn't have been sacked as many times as Daunte was today. Instead, they would have throw 3-4 picks. Daunte doesn't try to make something out of nothing. I'll admit he is a little slower on his reads then he should be, but I think that will improve once he shakes off the rust from not playing last year. Maybe it won't, he's still better at making reads then Harrington. My family lives in Detroit, I've seen Harrington under center and he REFUSES to throw the ball deep, he looks at his check down guy BEFORE his 1st receiver.
Dolphin Nation needs to acknowledge that the blocking today was horrible. Dolphin Nation needs to acknowledge that we lost the game on Special Teams today, between our blocked punt and Moorman pinning us down inside the 20 on EVERY PUNT. Dolphin nation needs to acknowledge that the Bills actually played well.
The blocking will improve, Daunte's reads will improve, and things will get better. We will finish the season 9-7 with Daunte at QB and you will all love him again. I said the same thing about Saban last year when we were 3-7 (check my sig). Talent always prevails, and this is no exception.
