Interesting comparison betweent the New England Patriots and the current Dolphins and how Parcells has approached both teams. Warning this article is three weeks old so be aware its a touch outdated

http://nflblogs.profootballweekly.com/NFLdraft/2008/02/history_indicates_the_dolphins.html

I found exhibit three to be interesting

Exhibit 3 – Who’s left on the roster
Trading Hugh Millen left the Patriots with second-year QB Scott Zolak and afterthought Scott Secules. As a rookie the year prior, Zolak struggled to make his case as a potential starting quarterback, amassing the following numbers:

Started 4-of-6 games he played in 1992. Completed 52-of-100 pass attempts (52-percent) for 561 yards, 2 TDs, 4 INTs – 58.8 QB rating.

Releasing Trent Green on Monday left the Dolphins with their own second-year quarterback, John Beck. As a rookie, Beck compiled an eerily similar stat line:

Started 4-of-5 games he played in 2007. Completed 60-of-107 pass attempts (56.1-percent) for 559 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs – 62.0 QB rating.

Conclusion: Yes, Zolak was only a fourth-round pick, while Beck was drafted much higher – in the second-round - but Parcells showed he would not defer to a second-year questionable talent in lieu of drafting a potential franchise quarterback.
 
Now you gone and made me us it again!!!! :rolleyes2:

I really dont get how these 'experts' come up with this nonesense. It seems crystal clear to me... BP has a blueprint that he has always seemed to follow: Dont spend high draft picks on QBs and dont spend high draft picks on offensive linemen.
Also, go after good character guys who love the game more than anything in this world.

Why are we still debating who we'll take at #1??? Its so blatantly obvious that i wish we would just sign the guy already so that we don't have to continue debating over the pick.
 
I guess your in one camp or the other. Every other Qb out there sucks if your a Beck fan or Beck sucks if you are not. I personally wanted Quinn when he fell in the draft last year and was big fan of Edwards. Beck did not look good last year but I definately dont want to toss him out. I am all for drafting another Qb and let the best of the three earn the job. The last few coaches have just given thier favorite the job and there has not been a competition since Marino came into camp. If we like Ryan Im all for it, I personally think he will be real good and shows alot of poise. Im not a big Flacco fan, so we are to choose a Qb based on drills instead of what we see on film. I personally would rather make a judgement watching film of a guy rather than a combine and a friggin all star game. I know we are drafting a Qb fairly early question is which one and where. It will not be wise to take a wait and see approach especially with only two qb's on the roster. Im not counting the camp fodder.
 
Parcells will draft Matt Ryan No.1 to make up for the loss of Brady Quinn last year. There is nothing Chris Long can do that will make the Dolphins respectable again. Teams are not going to go ooooh they have Chris Long playing OLB. Draft Matty Ice and put him in from day 1. Use the 32nd pick on a Tackle.

That would be stupid because we have no leverage to trade
 
Good find Adam

I find it more compelling that we are hearing good things about Beck coming from inside sources lately although.
 
I sure hope so. Parcells does realize the importance of QB, and I just can imagine him going into a season with a John Beck, Josh McNown tandem at QB. The fact that he hasn't brought in a proven veteran in the first round indicates Ryan all the way, despite however others want to interpret his actions.

Yeah I think the news lately is a bit more positive for C Long. I think missing out on Pace kind of threw things up in the air. I think Chris and Gholston would have been scratched off if we had gotten Pace. Now I'm not so sure.

Still you know me, cant pass up a good "dolphins will draft ryan" story and not share it with my friends :D

Are you serious? Have you ever heard of Drew Bledsoe or Chad Pennington? Both QBs taken in first rounds of Bill Parcells first stints with those teams. Might want to dust off your crystal ball...
 
I wish I could see the expression on Adamprez face when the Fins dont take Ryan. It's going to be priceless. :boohoo:
