Miami Dolphin Talk

If there is any truth to the above post we better warn Mrs. Pizza Boy to keep her hubby away from the sharp knife drawer and get a trigger lock for the shotgun.

Are you kidding me? She would probally hand me the knife! She hates football, and dreads the season approaching!

This sounds like the ole "play the best we got" poop again. Helping Henne at the line with Pouncey is fine, but the guy takes too much time! He is a college player in the NFL, the NFL game is too fast for him. The "pea sized" brain of his hurts him from making quick decisions like an NFL qb has to make.

The problem is really going to be Sparano.  He's going to lose the team pretty early with a few losses.  With Parcells walking the sideline and practice field there was some fear instilled and immediate firings after poor performance so we won 11 games.  With less of a Parcells presence, we drop games to Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo and NE makes us look like crap with no  consequence.  Sparano is a clown.  These guys won't play hard for him knowing they'll get a better coach if they just lose.

Henned looked like he might be something 2 years ago and then he regressed huge last year.

Part of that was on the OC for sure. Getting pulled out of the game in the red zone every game so the wildcat could go in can't help a kid out.

no wonder he couldnt hit open deep ball he was too scared to make a mistake and get pulled.

I'll agree with the wildcat statement, but as for the deep ball, it just seemed to me on most of his passes, he was often late with his throws. Recievers were being tackled right as they touched the ball, he has a lousy sense of timing, you just can't blame that on the offensive line. He needs to be more decisive. I have always said this guy is a college player who just can't seem to graduate to a NFL player. The game is still to fast for Henne. That is not a coachable problem. When a guy is open the ball needs to be there, not like when we were kids..."get open and I'll hit 'ya"....lol

I have been hearing there is a good chance we end up with Donavan McNabb, good? Well, I think it's an improvement, maybe after watching McNabb and his adlibs, Henne might learn something.

Football's back but it doesn't look like we'll have our fantasy league this year.  Probably a lot of fantasy leagues got done in with the lockout.

Not necessarily, there is still plenty of time even for the message board drafts. The problem might be just a lack of overall interest with the lack of visits here. This season, I think live drafts on yahoo for Heman and Skirt is probally the answer.

Do they break the glass? Do they call 911? Do the Dolphins think this quarterback situation is dire enough to utter the two words that could solve all their problems immediately?

These two words:

Brett Favre.

Followed by these two words:

Don't laugh.

Oh, that's not fair. Go ahead and laugh. It's funny. It's crazy. It's absurd. It'd be the most desperate act imaginable in a training camp where the Dolphins already have some measure of desperation.

But when you finish having a good chuckle, take a deep breath and ask yourself this: Doesn't this move make some good sense if Favre is healthy enough? Admittedly, that small word — if — can clog this dream up in a quick phone call.

But here's the laundry list of reasons why the Dolphins should be making that phone call to Hattiesburg, Miss.

1. With this defense, this team is an average quarterback away from a 10-win season that would save a lot of good work.

2. Favre is smart, very experienced at 41 and a one-year rental for only dollars, not draft picks.

3. For as bad as 2010 was for him, he's a season removed from a 33-touchdown, seven-interception season with Minnesota.

4. Brian Daboll, the new offensive coordinator, was Favre's quarterback coach in 2008 with the New York Jets.

5. He'd immediately turn the Dolphins from a team no one's talking about to one everyone is.

Don't dismiss that final point. The Dolphins' season-ticket sales have dropped off dramatically the last several years, a serious issue for the business side of this franchise.

Here's the real question: Is this franchise ready to set sail into 2011 with Chad Henne at quarterback? Because if they are, we're at the point it's time to stand up and say so.

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano did a commendable job when asked how he felt to hear fans boo Henne and chant, "We want Orton" at the welcome-back, feel-good practice at Sun Life Stadium on Monday.

"Besides the fact it really makes me sick?'' Sparano said.

The problem is, for the last six months everyone in the organization from the owner on down has discussed finding a quarterback to challenge Henne, at the very least. That's the mindset they've developed.

No matter what people think, General Manager Jeff Ireland and Sparano have built a solid roster. Look at it. The defense is one of the league's best. The offensive line, though costly, now looks solid. There are weapons like Brandon Marshall and Reggie Bush.

The special teams? Well, let's wait and see on that.

The point is, this team needs a quarterback. Maybe Henne becomes that guy. If not, the draft didn't bring anyone. Matt Moore isn't that guy. Kyle Orton was the hope, even Denver admitted Wednesday that deal is dead.

As the other answers fell away, one by one, isn't Favre the best answer? And might he not be the perfect one?

Will he want to play? Who knows? He's retired, after all. But that hasn't exactly stopped him in the past.

Favre could look at this defense, this offensive line, some of the weapons waiting for him and decide it's worth getting off the couch. He can't be happy he threw 11 touchdowns, 19 interceptions and had a 69.9 quarterback rating in his last year.

Is he healthy enough? Motivated enough? That's easy enough to find out. Pick up the phone. Make the call. Sell him on this role. (And by all means have him take a physical.)

When the Marlins hired 80-year-old Jack McKeon as manager, who didn't chuckle? But it made sense when you wrapped your mind around it. Look how it's played out, too.

Those "We Want Orton" chants weren't the time and place, just as Sparano said.

But here's another thought as this franchise keeps you wondering just what they think of their quarterback.

"We Want Favre."

got a chuckle out of that one.  what are they thinking?!

I saw that on KFFL, it said something about Sparano "not ruling out" the possibility of calling Brett Favre out of retirement.

we'll see what happens, I just hope Brett don't end up in a wheel chair one day.

I thought Miracleman was more sentient than that. If you really think Farve is one lick better than Henne your football knowledge quotient is pathetic. Favre is trash! TRASH!!! Henne actually looked pretty good tonight(Friday, August 19 2011 Panthers PS game) except for overthrowing the long pass. Moore overthrew 2 tonight.

Henne really surprised me but he has played well before only too **** all over himself for the next 2 games. He'll be our QB this year. I doubt anyone calls Favre. I will pull for Henne. I know I will end up shutting the tube off at times when he sux but Bryan Daboll is a lot better than Henning. We have better RB's this year. The OL we will have to play a wait and see thing. It has to improve for us to win. That is our biggest key to improve.
