Pretty much finishes any idea Culpepper is staying.
Cleo Lemon is expected to get a shot to compete with Trent Green to start..

Lemon has shown he can play in the league but is a long shot to win the battle. John Beck will likely be Miami's emergency quarterback on game days to begin his first year, but could get a chance to start if protection problems catch up to the Dolphins and they fall out of the playoff race down the stretch.

I could see starting a rook when we drop out of the playoff race, but not if we are having serious protection problems.
 
Either way, its probably a bad sign if we see Beck in the lineup...

Green was brought in here to start, I don't think Cam is fooling anyone here. Lemon is getting a chance to (wink-wink) compete...yeah, right...
 
Sure Lemon is being given a chance to compete when Green said in his earlier statement that he wanted to go where he would be the man and start. Cam needs to stop this BS. I'm sure Lemon is not fooled and why he only signed a 1 yr deal.

"Trent's never been given anything," said Cameron, who nonetheless on Wednesday gave him the starting job. "He's earned everything he's got in this business."
 
Lemon will not win the starting job, but hopefully this "competition" will make him a better player and get him more game experience. He will probably play the majority of the time in pre-season. He just needs to be ready to back up Green in case of injury.
 
Sure, he'll be given a shot, I think that it is weighted toward Green. He's still making more than Lemon. But you have to have him ready for the season.
 
Lying?

Guys, sometimes you have to hold your cards close to your vest. It is what it is. You can't always communicate all your real intentions.
I know that doesn't seem fair, but that's the business of sports. Deception.
Doesn't make someone a bad person, unless you're Little Nicky, of course!
 
Wow...this is actually scary to me!
If Cleo Lemon is competing with Trent Green--it isn't saying too much about Green.
Not, sound so negative...but Cleo Lemon is not starting QB material in the NFL. His role as a player should strictly be scout team and aiding in play calling.

With Trent Green having some health issues, it's going to be scary if he goes down and Lemon has to come in and be our starting QB.

We need Beck to come around quickly.

Don't worry, barring injury Green will be the starter no doubt. By Cameron saying the two will "compete," actually translates to "Yeah, I pretty much have to say the two are competing, but no matter how poorly Green plays pre-season, he will be starting." Lemon will be second string and Beck will be third, no doubt about it.
 
Absolutely, Cleo will get his fair shot at the Position. As will Daunte.... oh wait... Yeah i guess Green is our starter
