Joe Philbin is new Dolphins coach per leagues sources on @NFL32

wow! big shock, supposedly mccoy was in the bag.I don't know if I like this or not, but at least he's come from a winning background. Maybe now we get flynn?

So is Adam Schefter and Jesse Agler from phinsider

I obviously like it better then Mccoy, so all things considered, it could have been alot worse

Probably the best remaining choice.

Now I wouldn't be surprised if we do bring in Flynn. I can certainly understand him wanting to remain with his OC to remain in a similar system.

phibin hc
bowles dc
flynn qb
riley reiff 1st rounder

no doubt now

"no doubt" ???????? Even though Matt Flynn is a free agent??????

"no doubt"????????? Even if he comes here that he will beat out Matt Moore????????

Oh yeah, based on his one-game performance against Detroit when the Pack played the subs.

Well the powers that be finally listened to me...philbin was my choice all along.

If Flynn really does come here, then clearly Philbin believes he can be a franchise QB. He knows Flynn better than anyone.

Great Hire lets get the high flying power offense started.

Looks like the OWNER won.

I agree!

I think the fact that Joe will bring a west coast offense and a potential Franchise QB is the best thing about this hire. If we can get Flynn it will cost us big $$. However I think it is the better option than trading a crap ton of draft picks plus big bucks for 1 of the top 2 QB's in the draft. I am satisfied with this hire.

Chyren,

I think its the most likely scenario. Yes.

It isn't doubtless, but I wouldn't be surprised. Actually it is a plan that makes sense to me and I have visualized on more than one occasion. Philbin's tie to Flynn intrigued me. I am not sure if Flynn is the real deal, but I would hope that Philbin would know. If we signed him, I would have some confidence for that reason. I have suspected that the Phins were not only interviewing Bowles for the HC, but for the DC too. He knows the system and it would explain why they led Nolan go. Finally, Riley Reiff seems to be the consensus mock draft pick for us. He definitely fits a position of need.

Disagree 1976. If we could possibly trade up for Luck or RGIII, I'd do it rather than to rely on someone who has proven nothing in either college or pro.

In fact, that would make a good poll thread.

Sometimes QB's are system guys, and no matter what...atleast we know Flynn has succeeded in Philbin's system.


So, whats gonna happen with Daboll?

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

I dont think we take Flynn, if the price is to high or unless Philbin knows he is on point... I think Flynn and RG3 are players in the game.... If we dont go after Flynn, it should tell you alot... If we do that should tell you alot... THis coach would be risking his career on it... I am not sure either way other then we probably have the best insight into whether Matt Flynn is the real deal, and shouldnt make a mistake on it.... Which I like alot...

In the end, Flynn will be our QB, and Riley Reiff will be our new starting RT next season.

Hopefully we take Dwayne Allen in the 2nd to be our JerMichael Finley.

Chyren,

In the NFL every person wants to start. They dont want to be a backup. So, the remaining behind Radgers, is out of the question.

As far as Moore/Henne goes...well, come on. A 15 year old in full-retard mode can beat out those two chumps...especially Henne.

But, Flynn will walk in here the starter. He knows the system. He has succeeded in the system. And has a relationship with Philbin.

Yes, Flynn flies first class to Miami to start.

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

Every QB is a risk. If Philbin believes that Flynn can be that franchise guy, then its no more risky than either RG3 or Luck.

There is no guarantee that Luck will be the next Joe Montana.

Let's hope he brings Tom Clements as OC.

It is really not worth debating, if Flynn is the real deal we will get him, if he is not we will not... No mistakes, that is all I care about... Who knows how this will play out... Miami and Ireland if nothing else, proven to not be predictable with their front office moves...

You stole my post, Dolphaholic!!!!

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

Seems like your hope is built on a lot of "ifs."

Just don't be too disappointed when it doesn't happen and if it does, don't be disappointed when the results are not what you want.

I'm mystified. Henne had a couple of years, the first where he sat on the bench and the second where he had a rough time. Then at the start of his third year, he showed progress but got hurt early.

Moore has bounced around and didn't have much of a chance at Carolina but when he settled down and played for us after Henne got hurt, he wasn't that bad.

Would I pass on Luck or RG III for Moore? Hell No!

But don't you see what YOU'RE doing?

You are, in effect, taking Flynn who is basically Matt Moore before Henne got hurt and just because his name is neither Henne or Moore, assuming that he will come in and be better than they were after they (Henne and Moore) went through their growing pains.

And I know what's going to happen! Flynn will get knocked around, pressured, throw interceptions and will go through that same "breaking in" process that led you to say that Henne and Moore suck.

Then you guys will be saying "Flynn sucks" let's "Suck for Barkley" and the whole thing will go over and over and over and over again.

We already have a BACK-UP QUARTERBACK STARTING FOR US, We don't need another one.

Well, I guess the same thing was said when San Fran signed a backup QB named Steve Young, and when GB signed a backup QB named Brett Favre.

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

People are not saying they don't want Luck or RG3. They are simply saying that we're not one player away from a superbowl, and if we can get Flynn without cashing in our entire draft, it might be better than selling the farm for Luck or RG3.
