#3

I would be okay with Manning obviously, and Flynn only because Philbin has the best opinion on him

however Tannehill will be MUCH cheaper than both, a lot younger than Peyton obviously, and even though 27 is not old, Flynn is already 27 and to most "experts" has the upside of a Matt Cassel maybe Matt Shaub ceiling, remember that is upside not a guarntee, he could be terrible, so could Tannehill, but like i said Tannehill will be much cheaper, younger, and IMO and most "experts" have said has the potential for a higher ceiling, the general consensus i have read on Flynn is that in terms of top QBs, he could maybe be between a top 12-15 QB in the NFL, that alright but can it put a team over the top? if your going to take that chance, why not take it with Tannehill

however also remember depending if Flynn goes to the Browns or Seahawks, Tannehill will not be guarnteed to be there for the Phins so as much as i would like to trade down, its not worth the risk of a Seattle leapfrogging the Phins to the Rams spot who if their top players are off the board, they could trade down again and aquire even more picks to rebuild that team
 
The only option that will fill the stadium is #1.... thats why its a must that we get manning.
 
your pursue both. and whoever signs first you go with that guy. However its' been reported that Flynn will NOT sign until Peyton does. And I think you still draft a QB in the 1st even if you have flynn or manning.
 
If Manning doesn't give you an indication by 4 and Philbin thinks Flynn is genuinely the next best thing, and a legit nfl starter I say goodbye to Peyton. Don't let him hold up progress, don't lose out on someone who could be a very good option for this team for 10 years on the off chance that you might be able to get 2-3 years out of Manning who yes is a hall of famer, but might never get back to the player he was and could have his career ended at any moment.

I am placing complete faith in Philbin at this point. If he thinks Flynn can be the guy then I hope we don't let Peyton hold us hostage and cost us a legitimate starter. But if Philbin isn't sold on Flynn I hope we continue the Manning chase and use the draft as a back up plan. No one is in a better position to assess Flynn's potential than Philbin. I just hope Ross stays out of the way and allows the football people to make football decisions.
 
Why is there an lol next to Moore? He proved capable enough. Its not like he sucked. We were second in the league in plays over 20 yards.

i put the LOL because after all of this drama and excitement we can just keep the guy we had... not a knock on him .. i'd support him if we dont have another option available
 
Option 5....Wait on Manning, Wait on Flynn.

The NFL Network just made it perfectly clear that the Dolphins are not likely to lose out on Flynn, because Flynn would be better off waiting to hear what happens with Manning first. Once a decision is made on Manning, than Flynn will step up as the top QB available, and maybe only Seattle would be looking at him. The NFL Network didn't say anything about Cleveland pursuing Flynn. I really doubt Flynn will receive or take an offer at 4 PM and sign right away.
 
I'd go with Flynn at this point. Unless things went extremely well between Manning and Philbin and they can be very confident of him signing. Simply cant afford to miss on both IMO>
 
#2 Screw Manning, go get flynn @ 4pm - For the right price. Like Tanny, but don't draft him @ 8.

Exactly. You made your best effort with Manning, and now it is time to do the same with Flynn or risk losing out on both.

Imagine Manning to Broncos, Flynn to Seahawks, and draft day rolls around and the Browns decide to reach and pick Tannehill. It's a long shot but not completely outside the realm of possibility if we put too much focus on Peyton and miss out on Flynn(assuming Philbin thinks he is "the guy"). I think we as fans are taking it for granted that we can end up with one of the three, I just hope our front office doesn't because if they do and things don't go our way it could get ugly fast.
 
I dont want Flynn and Tannehill is not ready to start from day 1....wait for Manning or go with Matt Moore and get a QB next year
