I'm curious what other fans think we should do,carry 2 or 3 QB's...

My take....I'm fine with keeping 3,and it has less to do with Pat Devlin being good or bad.More to do with our O-line,and as injuries mount the quality of our depth to replace them is thin,not great IMO. 3 QB's that have been in the system,and know the system,are a nice plus. (even though it doesn't really mean shit...)

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.  All day.  YES!

You carry 2 and you'll find yourself in a situation where you're scrambling for David Garrard to start week 8 after our O-line gets both QB's killed in less than 2 months.

Is Gararrd any worse than Moore or Devlin? I say carry 2 and open up another roster spot and roll the dice everyone stays healthy

If your 3rd string QB is starting a game, it doesn't probably matter if it someone you picked up midseason or had since training camp....you are not going to the superbowl.  

There are reasons to have three QBs.  Your third string QB is a rookie and you want to see if you can develop him into a starter (or at least a reliable backup) or your third string QB can do things besides play QB - such as tight end or punt protector (Tebow) or your third string QB is pretty decent to the point you have a hard time choosing who is #2 and who is #3.

I was going to post pretty much the same thing. I think if they are planning on Devlin being #2 next year then keep him. Otherwise there really isn't a big need to hold the roster spot.

^^ then why not cut Matt Moore?

Personally, I think you need to keep both because (a) yes, Devlin and Moore are better than Garrard or John Beck, and (b) Moore may move on and Devlin may become the backup next year.

I don't think they need that roster spot THAT badly that its worth the risk.  Make a decision, coach.

HELL YES!!!!

Why help out any of our rivals like the Bills and Jets, who would probably scoop up Moore or Devlin in a heartbeat. 

We still have 4 games against these guys and winning all 4 would sure help our chances of making the playoffs.

Worst reason in the world. You do what you can to make your team better.  You don't keep a player b/c he might help another team.

If the Jets or Bills want Moore or Devlin....they can have either. By all means. If they are starting either that is a PLUS for Miami! Seriously!!

If it meant somehow having a decent TE or other player of need, I would say drop Devlin and move to 2 QBs. They could always put Garrard on notice. From what I remember he was doing pretty well on Hard Knocks before his injury.

After watching tonight I say keep 3. All 3 have value. More value than the 54th man on the roster.

It's always a nice question to ponder, until the starter gets injured. Does anybody remember Henne & Pennington getting hurt in the same game before?

If Both QB's get hurt who cares? Seriously....Devlin isn't going to "save the season". If both the 1st and 2nd string QB's get hurt and are out the season is over and lets lose them all to get a higher draft pick anyway.

Depends. If Devlin has to play 6 games then yeah the season is a bust. But what if you need your 3rd string QB to play 1 game? 1 game may be the difference between Miami making the playoffs or not. I'd rather have Devlin to put in there then pick a guy up for a week and expect him to win it for you.

Its kinda a moot point the third QB would be good for one game if both others went down. If just the starter went down we would bring someone in that week making the third still the third.
