I mean we are literally waiting for any piece of crap QB that can't make another team, or trading valuable draft picks for 3rd stringers, to just bring in here and become a productive starter. I'm not really convinced that another teams garbage will be our treasure. I think we need to just wait and draft a franchise QB next year in the first round. It doesn't have to be Matt Linert, as I think he will break the bank anyway, just a first round prospect that we need to bring in here and groom.
Please stop with the brilliant ideas at QB. As fans we shouldn't be looking to settle with somebody, we should be looking for great player for many years. What blows me away is there are folks who want to bring in any QB who has a good preseason game right away. I feel like if I lined up with the 5th stringers and completed a few passes I'd have a shot to be the Dolphins starter, per Finheaven anyway.
that's a fair enough opinion. As far as "anothe teams garbage" though....I noticed that you listed a player in Schaub who is abosolutely NOT considered garbage to the team that has him, Atlanta.
Again, I understand your opinion...but only to a point. Some players are not of the type that can help this team but a player like Schaub would at least have a chance to based on his skills. No player is a gaurantee.
Speaking of Atlanta....I've been a huge Vick supporter since watching him in college and even moreso after his rookie preseason game against us where he threw a laser dart (laser dart? :) ) about 40 yards downfield that never had an arch on it and yet hit the guy dead in the chest (sorry I wrote that long example but it was one of the most amazing passes I'd ever seen)....ANYWAY...back to Vick, as I said, I'm a huge supporter of his and he's the last "can't miss" guy that I believe EVERY so called expert said would be greatness. Yep, all said he had to clean up his passing a bit but that it was not a big issue. WELL, we are now down the road 4-5 years and Vick is still no better than that guy who went off (and lost) to FSU in the national championship game. Of course I'm still a big supporter of his but....wait.....what was my point.....
....oh yeah, my point was that our QB situation stinks, period. I think that people, myself included sometimes, try to think of players who
might be able to help us and then post it on this board to see what others think. Are we always right? no, certainly not. Could we possibly be? well maybe, but generally speaking, any of the players someone suggests are
NOT going to ever suit up with a porpoise on their helmet.
I think that some folks thow tend to go overboard trying to defend a guy they think could help out team. They feel that they are being personally attacked or something when someone posts "that's stupid" or "you don't know anything about football". After they read stuff like this, they just stop thinking and start posting in a sometimes offensive manner to retort.
Hey this is just a simple message board...a very good one to boot. Everyone has opinions, an they should be able to post them as long as they don't attack another poster or become "socially unacceptable" type posts...yep even the ones that only make a little sense should be heard....besides, maybe thinking that they are being listened to, it'll help someone's confidence...then again, if you're looking for personal fulfillment from a message board about sports....well maybe a different type of board is in your future. :tongue:
just to finish my thought on Vick :)....If Atlantat doesn't dump that offense they run (west coast veriation or whatever they call it) Vick is going to go down as a wasted talent. I'm not saying bring him to Miami (although I'd love that) but if Vick were put in our or anyone's "spread" offense, he'd thrive.
