"If i ran the Dolphins i'd hedge my bets at quarterback with this plan. Matt Moore is here to stay, and that's a good thing. But I'd address the position by signing Matt Flynn. and draft Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeded in the second round. That gives the team three good quarterback options, and you can still use your first round pick on a position of need. One of those three - Moore, Flynn, or Weeden - will get the job done for the rest of the decade"
(sorry no link, it was said during last nights Fiesta Bowl via "Sulia" unfortunately that site is blocked for me)
#1) I dont think Flynn will sign anywhere where he is not all but guarnteed to be the starting QB, especially coming off that performance on Sunday vs. the Lions he is flying high and him and his agent will not accept anything less, If you have Matt Moore and draft a QB in the 2nd round, i doubt Flynn sees that as fully committing to him, plus he will want Franchise QB money based off 2 games
#2) I would not doubt Weeden especially after last nights Fiesta Bowl performance possibly being gone before Miami picks in the 2nd round, teams these days are QB hungry and are desperate (see Vikings grabbing Ponder at #12 who up until maybe 2 days before the draft was projected in the 3rd round, Jags trading up for Gabbert) I think with his age and maturity and what he showed when he gets in a rhthym and his quick release, he could step right into to a good situation and win some games, teams and GM and coaches are not thinking about 8 years from now because they may not have their job so they are seeing all this rookie success of QBs the past few seasons, Dalton leading the Bengals to 9 wins and a playoff birth (even though they backed in) they showed a forumula taking AJ Green with their 1st round pick and grabbing Dalton in the 2nd giving a glimmer of hope to drafting a top guy in the 1st and still getting your guy in the 2nd, I could see Weeden stepping in for a team like the Seahawks, Browns, Broncos, even the Redskins could take him in the 2nd round before we pick, Shannahans job and rep is on the line and i think he realized where that will go with Grossman and Beck,so if they cant get Luck or RGIII 1st round, why not Weeden in the 2nd
