I don't want Brady Quinn or Matt Schaub to go to London

by user Blocking Back

Its not that I don’t like them or that I don’t think they would have a good time in Britain’s capital city, infact I’d be more than happy to see them fly accross the pond… just not in a Dolphins Jersey.

This week has seen a fair bit of speculation about the possibility of Miami going after a new QB. This specualtion has left me scratching my head in dumfounded confusion and chewing my nails in fear that the Miami management might actually be listening to any of it.

Am I the only Football fan out there that remembers how bad the Dolphins offensive line were during the regular season? Am I the only Dolphin fan who thinks it might actually be worth seeing what Culpepper can do when he’s not walking around on half a knee?

The simple truth of the matter is that Miami DO NOT need to upgrade the QB position. What would be the point of trading up for Quinn if the O-line can’t protect him? Is Matt Schaub really worth the effort when we should be focussing on fixing our damp and squidgy secondary?

If Cam Cameron is to have any success at all in his first season as a Phin, then he needs to fill the holes we do have before he goes after the ones we might have. Lets draft a strong O-lineman with our first pick, lets sign Nate Clements in Free Agency and lets focus on training up the guys we already have…

…and then, in next years draft, lets go after John David Booty.

Matt Schaub is the next big thing at QB. He would be best suited though to go to Minn with their West Coast Offense.

I am the biggest Matt Schaub fan you will ever meet. Known the guy for way too long to give up on him now

I think Schaub would be a very good QB, and if you can get for a 3rd round pick, I think it's a steal. I think you are putting too much faith in Culpepper.

Agreed, I dont think Culpepper will ever bounce back from that injury, and Im not really sure how good he ever will be without that top reciever alongside of him

Some good comments all round, thanks guys.

Just to clarify, I do think that Schaub and Quinn are good QB's and that Schaub could well be the next big time QB, but I think it would be a bad move for both him and the Dolphins if he ended up in Miami.

I agree that Culpepper may never come back to the level he was at BUT I'd like to see him given the chance while the Phins sort out the rest of their woes. I think the tendency for underperforming teams is to head staright to the QB market when really the problems lie elsewhere.

I feel that, at the moment, the QB issue comes joint third in the list of Dolphins issues along with their ageing Defense. First would be the horrible O-line and seond would be the dodgy secondary. Thats my opinion anyway!

Thanks again for the votes and comments guys and don't forget to check out the Sports Blog - http://shott...ordpress.com

I can agree with that. As I said above I dont like the idea of Schaub going to Miami. That is not a team that needs a new QB but rather a guy with some experience to bring a calm to the team in the same way that Brees did to New Orleans. Culpepper has a lot to prove, but he may be up to the challange if he is mentally tough enough.
