Firstly thanks for replying guys; I'm craving for someone NFL chat.
On the subject of Henne, despite being a fins fan; I have to honestly say that he has in no way impressed me. There is no doubt that he has improved but his stats are not up to standard and in honesty; how long can you go waiting for your QB to mature. I saw him in 4 live games last year and I watched most of the other dolphins games so I feel I have a reasonably accurate assesment on him. Its no doubt though that he hasn't been helped by the ageing Brown and Williams and the other offensive players we have. Brandon Marshall is class but even with him; there were plenty of dropped balls last year. That said he had 1000+ yards by the end of the season and I dont think thats been done since (I believe) 2005?' Davone Bess impressed. He was Miami's go to guy on 3rd down and I thought he played outta his skin in alot of the games I watched. I hope he continues to progress and Marshall comes back fitter and we'll see what happens there. The other majors on the offence, I believe come at a much lower price and every team needs. The likes of Brian Hartline and Fasano etc will not be making mega bucks (in NFL terms) but they rarely make any major mistakes. On the flip there contributions are seldom game changing. On the whole with Miami i am not looking to next season with optimism. The whole offense needs a new back 3 and whilst Im happy with the D's performance last year I am not optimistic with Daboll as the OC. He didn't exactly set the world alight at Cleveland? I had the (pleasure is not the word) of meeting Tony Sporano Junior on one visit to the Sun Life Stadium. A little spoke about fact is that he is Miami's Offensive "quality control" guy! That is worrying in itself. I'm not hopeful but I will still get behind the fins next season....
With the Panthers, I have a vested interest there as I work in North Carolina for 6 months of the year. I watched 6 or 7 of their home games last year and I feel although Clausen was nothing outstanding the words thrown in and deep end are relevant. I like Clausen and I thought he would go higher in the draft but for me I believe the panthers have someone with the skills to at least give it a shot. After the incidents thought with Steve Smith, I wonder how much faith that the "team" have in Clausen. Having the star WR not give you the vote of confidence can surely not do you any good. We'll see what happens with Clausen....Work in Progress. I hope he get the Rivera vote of confidence.
I think its extremely interesting what will happen with the QB's. A nice sub plot to take away from the CBA! The Skins, in my opinion have been silly to let it get to where it is, with McNabb. I dont know much about Washington but ive heard nothing but bad things about Dan Snyder and the headlines I see about (which are admittedly limited) scream of mismanagement. I know on what ive seen i would rather have McNabb directing my team than Rex Grossman.
Teams majorly needing a QB are Arizona, Tenessee the 49ers and Oakland. I'm also interested to see who risks it with Vince Young. Jamarcus Russell is also around still; I know he worked out with Miami at some point last season. Another possible is for Matt Leinhart to get another shot somewhere. He's sitting at number 3 down in Houston and I'm hoping somewhere gives him a chance because I liked him as a college player. He does seem somewhat uninterested in football though. We shall see. I for one hope there is a season.
I think someone mentioned that they were a Bucs fan somewhere along the line. Met Josh Freeman at the International series in 09 and then again at a pre season match V the Dolphins. Absolute gem of a bloke. Was a brilliant ambassador for the bucs. The kid can play too! And that coming from a Dolphins fan.
Lamar miller the 4th round pick looks a steal 114 yards and a td on about 19 attempts. Class player
Javorski Lane has got me exited about fullback play. This guy lives to punish people when blocking and is a cert in short yardage situations. We need to use him more in the redzone.
If only the whole of the dolphins was as stacked in talent and performed as consistently as yhe run game
