This is the worst display of drafting I have ever watched, A team needing a QB for the past decade and pass on Mallett the best QB left to take and let the Pats steal him, I thought after the mistake made with Ted Ginn Jr. was made the draftting would take a good turn, Guess I was wrong again, looks like another year of nobody that can throw the ball, better draft 5 more running backs, WOW horrible somebody needs to take controll in the front office or just sell the team. Another dissappointed Fan again this year, Think ill go and buy me a Colt McCoy Jersey tomorrow.

I liked Mallett as well. But you CAN'T expect a head coach and GM on the hot seat to draft a QB. One who will be there long after they are gone. Ireland/Sparano need to win NOW. They know our screwball owner tried to replace Sparano last offseason, a slow start or a bad season and he is toast. They can't afford to develop a QB. They need a Palmer, Young, Kolb..etc.  Not a rookie who will take his lumps

Ryan Mallett couldn't beat out Chad Henne during his brief stay in Michigan, hence the transfer to Arkansas. What makes you think the opposite could/would/should happen in the NFL?

my thoughts with this is that drafting a young qb high, doesn't prevent them from bringing in a veteran qb in free agency as well.

this front office doubles down all the time in the draft on certain positions, why not approach the most important position on the team that way as well? it would've been nice to have palmer + mallet (or dalton, kaep, whomever the f they thought was the guy to emerge from this qb class given all were in reach except newton at #15).

this front office, nah... they are like the anti-pats. the hooded one picks mallet to groom behind their veteran starter. he understands that todays nfl isn't freaking rocket science. u have to have a damn good nfl quarterback to be a contender. otherwise you're a team on the middle of the pack hamster wheel.

What the Dolphins need to do is stockpile draft picks for next year the way New England and Cleveland have done. 

Then if Henne doesn't work out this year, trade up to the top spot and grab Andrew Luck.

I've seen this more than once and I always think how crazy this theory is. While I don't know how Mallett will turn out, you cannot use this argument effectively. How many freshmen come in and beat out a fourth year starting QB at a major college program? Tom Brady sat behind Brian Griese. Based on your argument, Brady would never be as good as Griese.

Also I should add his transfer had nothing to do with not being a freshman starter (Henne had been a senior that year and Mallet was the starter during his injury). It had to do with Rich Rodriguez coming to Michigan and knowing he didn't fit the offensive mold.

^^^ And it isn't like Brady is the only one.

Matt Cassel has already proven he is a better NFL QB than Matt Leinart.

^^^^

It should also go without saying that the skill set requirements for a college quarterback are significantly different than that those for an NFL quarterback.

IF you wanted a quarterback that bad, this is definately not the year to take one.  I don't give a fuck what ESPN says.

STUPID... How do you know that Mallet will be anything in the NFL.  Where does your football knowledge  come from ? MADDEN maybe  Roll Eyes

Your rant makes absolutely no sense.  Roll Eyes

Especially when you talk about COLT McCoy LOL

Why is it that the people who know the least about football are the ones that have the strongest opinions about it?
