Three QBs in Dolphins camp, no answers for starting job

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Three quarterbacks were the field at the Miami Dolphins training facility this weekend, each vying for the starting gig. One was Josh McCown, who is on his fourth team since turning pro in 2002.
For Dolphins fans and McCown, it seems awfully familiar.

qb.....

NO answers for starting job?

i say NOT!!

these coaches are not rookies. i promise you, the trifecta
already has at least 80% convinced on who is going to be
the starter.

and for competitions sake, they are NOT going to tip there
hand to ANYONE before the pre season games are over.

and..... you cant argue with this: [qb coach jason lee on henne]

Q: What are your initial impressions of Chad Henne?

A: Chad came in here in rookie camp, we hit that third day install and he had a few mental errors. I said uh-oh he got overloaded. Now he’s come back since and he has done a great job mentally. He has not gotten lost. I thought he was going to and he hasn’t, which is a great credit to his study habits and how hard he has prepared for each and every practice. I think if there’s one thing that strikes me about this kid, one word, he’s just unflappable. You chew him out, ‘what’s the next play.’ He takes criticism, ‘you got it coach give me another one.’ There’s no sense of throwing anybody else under the bus. There are no excuses with him. He’s tough.

ISNT THIS what you want out of your qb? what more can you say about
a plyer than that? every attribute you want, he is showing.

all that rip he got after that 1st mini camp when he had to run the laps
on the last day, well, i guess he is over that huh?

heck, even the other qb's have mentioned his skills!!

henne IS going to be the starter of this team at some point. like lee
and saprano BOTH said, you dont know untill they are in game situations.

and that being the case, i wont be suprised if henne locks it up during
the pre season games. he may not have to wait untill october/november!

Boy am i glad nra is not the coach. Already wants to throw a rookie in after the first mini-camp. What a joke!

Oh my gosh, is Earl coaching our QB's now?

Number 276 on his list----screwed over Dolphins by forging the signing of Culpepper. :d-day:


Back to the topic. I do think competition is a good thing and will only make all three better, but it also would be nice if one of them started to stand out and really start to shine. That still might happen with TC and preseason games still coming up.

I agree that the coaches are almost certain who will start. I also agree that they arent going to disclose that information yet, simply because A) They dont have to...B) The guy they plan on could get injured and they would want the person to step in feeling like they were in the mix before the injury for the starting job.....and C) They arent 100% certain so there is simply no reason to declare it yet.

However thats where the agreement stops. Josh McCown will obviously be the starter in all likelyhood. Henne is in the plans to be the guy down the road, but its hard to say when that will be.
