Kinda hard to surprise anyone when your runningback lines up as the QB and your QB is on the sidelines or lined up as a blocker/reciever.

I still say if you're able to switch to it quickly (by not changing personnel) it can work better. The defense will either call a time out or be forced to play it without optimal personnel. But, if your QB/WR is always a decoy and the RB/QB can't throw the ball, then what's the point?

I guess Ronnie Could throw the ball , but 90% of his wildcat was him making a quick cut from the snap. But your right it would be much moreeffective without taking the QB out. But Henne f**king telegraphs everything anyways.

Always fun to stir up a beehive!

Here's a question: Are the Dolphins waiting for their QB of the future to fall into their lap the way Marino did in 1983?

If Henne fails, and Ireland refuses to move up and get Luck, Barkley, or Jones, then I will believe he has major issues with building a franchise. We all know that this is a QB driven league these days. Unlike days of past, a QB is by far the most important position on the field.

If Henne fails, he better do whatever it takes to get one of them. If he doesnt, I will give up on him and the Dolphins philosiphy of winning.

I have said over and over, I believe Blaine Gabbert was the only QB who would be a legitimate upgrade over Henne...if we couldnt get him, then why waste another pick on a different QB?

The safe pick this year was Mike Pouncey, the safe pick next year is Luck, Barkley, or Jones...who I believe all 3 will be franchise QB's.

I think the best point of the article was we didn't get anyone to stretch the field. That scrub receiver out of that christian school ain't shit. If he were, he wouldn't be at that scrub college. D's will be able to zone us all day long. We have no homerun threat at RB. The kid from Kstate will be lucky to get over 4 ypg.

I actually think Henne can be a good QB, but with our playcalling all teams have to do is play zone and let Danny C miss FG's

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've read around here. You're saying no player from a small school has ever had success in the NFL?

RESPONSE: I'm not making a sports point here but putting Christ's name in the same sentence with.....well, I can't do it myself.

I like you Chambers. I don't want anybody "up there" to wreak vengeance on you.

LOL. I like Chambers myself. He makes some good points. maybe just needs to work on the delivery just a bit?

Hi Chris,

Maybe so, but I think they should have at least taken a mid to late round QB in this draft. Although I do understand the "if you're going to draft a QB, do it in the first round" argument also.

Putting all our eggs in the acquire-a-veteran basket is kind of risky. IMO they should have picked up a QB in this draft, and ALSO get a veteran in the mix. That would leave us with Henne, Thiggy, Draftee, and Veteran in camp. One guy gets cut or dealt, the rest fight it out for pecking order. That would have been the most sensible strategy, I think.

Agreed, Mark Duper came from a small school, you never know where our next gem of a receiver might come from.

Plus, in an interview I heard with the coach of Gates' school, the coach said that Gates has a cousin who went to the same school and currently is in the NFL (Forgot his name), so there's an example of Abilene Christian producing an NFL player right there.

Chyren, your overreacting. Your boy Henne is still the starting QB here. I think you may have forgotten that!

Damn, and here I thought our main point of agreement was our shared nostalgia for the old days, along with Leon.


Does this mean I'm about to duke it out with Phinsfan2 on a regular basis from now on?

IT's all good, Dolphins Fans, it's all good!

Over / Under on Gate's receptions: 20

I'll take the under, as long as his YPC is around 18-20 and he scores about 4-5 TDs. He's going to be the 3d option at best this year, if not the 4th.

Probably under. He is a rookie 4th round pick. Not Calvin Johnson.

Building a team takes time. The great drafts of the Packers 3-6 years ago just now paid off.
