McCown reminds me of the nerdy kid from the Breakfast Club. I agree with you though. I think Beck will be our future eventually.

Nobody really knows what's going to happen. I want Beck to win the job, and be our Opening Day starter. John is certainly doing everything in his power to see that come to fruition. McCown has been in the league for what.... seven seasons? I don't know how much better he is going to be. McCown to me seems like a slightly better version of Jay Fiedler. Has heart, has toughness, but is really erratic and makes a lot of boneheaded descions. I mean, he had Fitzgerald and Boldin in Arizona and still couldn't put up halfway decent numbers.
Beck's potential has yet to be reached, I think we've seen how far Josh can go. Nobody knows for sure. We shall see!

I'm one of the minority but I think we will draft a guy to compete to start. I still feel it will be Ryan at #1. I think it's to early to try and figure out who will start when we really don't know th roster.

I think McCown gets the nod based on experience alone. We can only speculate on what's going to happen with our Dolphins. I don't care who's behind center as long as he plays well.
McCown to start the year for sensibility Beck has already felt the pressure..., the Fins don't compete game one and Beck is doomed from a fans standpoint...
You actually think they are going to draft Ryan? Even if they did he wouldnt even be competing for the starting job. BP doesnt start rookie QB's.
I think Beck will start next year.

the veteran quarterback always wins these competitions so mccown will be the starter. also with the coaches trying to change beck's release its unrealistic to expect much from him this year when he basically has to learn how to throw the ball in a completely different way.

Beck has allready been named the starter behind closed doors. Unless the Fins can complete a a 3-way trade for Brady Quinn. :tongue:

He couldn't beat out Warner and Culpepper. Come on. Would you take either one of those qb's? This site is just plain silly sometimes. Kinzua the shaved ape would have a field day with this one.

A three way and Quinn certainly would involve another man.

McCown will be named the starter. The way I see it, it will happen just as Cameron had planned. Build up the O-line, make sure theres enough talent, THEN install the brand new QB and watch him flourish. Guys like Trent Green and McCown are named starters because they are expendable(and somewhat proven), and can fill the position until Beck is ready to take over and lead the offense to greatness. But until then, why risk the injuries and mental anguish on the hopeful QB of the future by plugging him into a team lacking the talent to protect him. You wouldnt put your baby in a car with broken seatbelts would you?
I honestly don't have a feeling either way on this. Though I do think the front office hopes Beck can win the job and be the starter. I think McCown was brought in to start if Beck greatly struggles in camp/preseason and that the person we draft(Henne or Flacco?) would then be groomed as the future starter. McCown only got a two year deal, so I doubt the front office sees long term potential in him.

I'm getting a laugh from all the "nerdy" comments.
Josh, believe it or not, can probably bench press more than 85% of the rest of the team.
He is a quality athlete.
He has had to play on really bad teams but for those of you out there thinking that he will only get the start until Beck is ready, you need to step back and re-examine your position.
I believe Josh will not only start the season but he will start the entire season unless he gets hurt (and even then you better hurt him bad).
He is still young by quarterback standards and once you see what he can do when given the opportunity, you will forget all those other statements.
He has been assured a fair competition for the starting job (meaning he and Beck get to work with the 1st team the same number of reps). There is no "behind closed doors" assurance of Beck being the starter.
I would hope that Miami fans would want the best QB to start no matter what his name might be. When he gets the start, it will not be because he is "expendable" or anything else. It will be because he is the better QB period.
You might want to hold some opinions until you at least see him on the practice field. Given the opportunity, he will impress.
By the way, Denny Green (former Cardinals coach) spent major money to bring in Warner and so he was pressured to play him. This after stating that Josh would be his QB. That year, Josh threw for 2 of the top 5 games for league QB's. When traded to the Lions, he was promised a QB competition with Kitna for the starting job. This promise was taken back and Kitna was named the starter before camp began. Josh then had to work with mostly 2nd string. With the Raiders, he beat out Culpepper for the starting job. The only time he was out last season was because he was hurt. He never lost the starting job. Russell was only given brief work and that was mostly for the fans. Now in Miami I believe he will be given a fair opportunity at QB. I believe Miami wants to win. Let's just see what happens and cheer for the guy who gets the nod.

Yes I do and do a little research before you answer, Parcells started Bledsoe, who is the only QB drafted early (obviously to be the franchise guy) and played for Parcells as Head Coach. Parcells was GM and drafted Pennington but wasn't HC. Yes Parcells isn't the Coach of the Dolphins but I'm sure we all know what's going on.
Parcells was also on the Coaching staff (all-be-it wouldn't of been his call) when the Giants started Rookie QB Phile Simms, who was Rookie of the year runner up.
If Parcells drafts Ryan you better believe he is going to have a shot at starting. I would imagine an Henne, Brome (whoever) if drafted in the second has a shot as well.
