In recent college memory there are have only been a handful of guys that you could give the ball to and say, "go score me a touchdown from anywhere on the field."
Reggie Bush, Devin Hester, Ted Ginn, Desean Jackson, and Pat White.
Well, now we have two of them on the same team. I hope the coaching staff is creative enough to put together something insanely unique. Looking at our upcoming schedule, maybe a gimmicky hybrid offense will be the best way to put points on the board.

Dolphin 39 – I HATE THE PAT WHITE PICK
Dtjp17 – What the hell? Ruined my draft
NIXFINS – Could have got him later

Xeticus – really bad pick
Tylerdolphin – Because Parcells/Ireland have never been wrong…
As a WVU fan I saw Major Harris play plenty of times. Pat was the better of the two, period. They aren’t even all that similar players really.
I loved the Major and I agree that he was probably ahead of time, but even today in the age of the Wildcat I don't think he would have been a successful pro. For one thing, he was too slow. I've never seen a 40 time listed for him, but if I had to guess I would say he was in the mid to high 4.7's... which is certainly fast enough to be an every down QB but not to run the Wildcat or return kicks.
Major was more elusive and probably had a stronger arm than Pat, but Pat has much better decision-making and accurary. Major turned the ball over way too much, especially at cruicial points in the game. He would make an amazing long run, and then at the end of the play he would fumble.
And Pat had more success on the field over a longer period of time. He had four great seasons and showed improvement year after year. Major had one great season but regressed a little bit his junior year before making a bonehead decision to declare for the draft early.
Guys Miami did not pay any atention to Brace you guys need to get over it. Salguero report Miami did not talk, interview, visit or met with Brace. Dolphins had there chance at Butler in the 1st and took Davis instead. Butler while good left a lot of plays last year on the field. I think the Dolphins got exactly what they wanted and I loved this draft.
John Beck is not going anywhere... white could never beat him out. mark it down....... finman
Dolphins | White to play receiver

ESPNews reports Miami Dolphins rookie QB Pat White will play wide receiver and possibly see some time at quarterback in the Wildcat formation.
I know you are just reporting what ESPN said, but they should have checked with Tony first. That doesn't sound like what he has been saying.
the same way I felt when we drafted Eddie Moore and Jamar Fletcher.
ESPN only plays into our hands. They cannot bear the thought of this kid actually doing something at Qb so they can protect their little Mel Kiper's arguments.
I mean..."possibly"
how lame.
They already have thier PAt White(isiah Stanback) doing nothing for them
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 [SIZE=-1]By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News [/SIZE]The Cowboys have drafted only one quarterback since 1991 (Quincy Carter, 2001), but owner and general manager Jerry Jones said that could change this year.
It might not be a traditional quarterback, though. With the Wildcat offense becoming more popular in the NFL, the Cowboys could dip their toe into that pool in 2009.
Star Telegram, 4-21-09But White has also impressed with his quarterback skills and could be long gone before the Cowboys want to take a chance on a Wildcat quarterback. Other options include Rice tight end James Casey of Azle and Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee, who ran an option offense in college. Both players visited the Cowboys last week.
