Do you think the Dolphins should carry 3 QB's in 2013?

[Brian Fein]

So, clearly the difference is our varying opinion of Devlin.  You think he's garbage.  I think he's servicable in a pinch.

[Dave Gray]

A lot of this is about snaps.  Devlin is designed to play 0 snaps.  A backup to a backup linebacker can still help out on special teams.

There is no future for Devlin on this team if you believe in Tannehill, so what's the point?  If he's your QB because Tanehill is hurt, you're screwed anyway.

[Spider-Dan]

Devlin is not on the team to eventually replace Tannehill; he's on the team to eventually replace Moore.

Of all the fanbases in the league, you'd think Dolphins fans would be the most acutely aware of the value of a good backup.  I mean, why sign Earl Morrall when you have Bob Griese?  Furthermore, wouldn't you like to be on the PHI side of an A.J. Feeley or Kevin Kolb trade, instead of the MIA/ARI side?

Philbin just keeps on making all the right choices. (Right is defined by doing the same thing that I would.)

The only head scratcher for me is Don Jones. Really? Did he play a down in preseason? I don't think I ever saw him in the game or make a play. I don't mind losing McNutt or Bumphis, I wasn't impressed with either of them, but I thought Tyms was a better receiver and would have kept him over Jones.

Devlin is practice squad eligible anyway so this whole thing is silly. Miami can cut him, hope nobody signs him and hide him there. If someone signs him so be it....find another QB for the practice squad. Not like Devlin is the next Montana for pete sakes!

I don't think Devlin would make it to the practice squad. If I'm New York or Buffalo, I'd claim him. He's as good as if not better then what they are going to be putting on the field come next Sunday.

Why would either claim him? They invested a 2nd round pick in Geno Smith who is there week 1 starter and Sanchez isn't dead. He will be OK in a couple weeks.

Buffalo has EJ Manuel who they invested a high first round pick in and might even start Week 1 (Week 2 at the latest) what do they need Devlin for? Devlin is no better than any backup they have and has no future there!

Just remember people, if Miami thought highly of Devlin they wouldn't have gone out of there way to pay Matt Moore what they thought of this offseason.

Smith isn't ready to start (3 Int's and safety in his last pre season game) and Sanchez is not the future. Is Sanchez gonna be happy as the backup? If he doesn't end up starting most of this year (and maybe even if he does), Sanchez and his contract are gone. Devlin would be a better choice to backup Smith next year and Devlin is better than either of the other 2 QB's they kept.

Buffalo has EJ Manuel who they invested a high first round pick in and might even start Week 1 (Week 2 at the latest) what do they need Devlin for? Devlin is no better than any backup they have and has no future there!

I disagree, I think he's better than any of their backups. Remember that just last week they were considering bringing in John Beck. Devlin is better then Beck.

Just remember people, if Miami thought highly of Devlin they wouldn't have gone out of there way to pay Matt Moore what they thought of this offseason.

And yet Miami kept Devlin on the 53. Maybe it's Moore who should be worried about his roster spot.

^^the Devlin love has gone to a crazy level with some of you.. Hes a #3 qb who's ceiling is to be a career backup. You act like if he was cut teams would be tripping over themselves to get him. He just isn't any good.

[pondwater]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. It's more than obvious that Moore is better than Devlin.

No one said that every team in the league would be after him. I said a couple would like to have him as a backup. He's better then you are giving him credit for.

Not to me it's not. I've seen nothing from Moore in the last year to indicate he's capable of leading this offense better than Devlin.

[phinphan]

If you would have put more on the nine and then later the fifteen yard line we would have left with more than three points. I used to hope Devlin would be good but I don't know. But I do know having Moore on the team helps Philbin sleep at night.

[phinphan]

That last game Devlin played every Quarter reminded me of our offense of regimes past cpl good plays send in kicker. Get near red zone send in Kicker. I think Caleb played well.

No he isn't or else Matt Moore wouldn't be here

[Pappy13]

For now. His days in Miami are numbered. Wouldn't shock me at all to see Devlin become the #2 and see Moore get cut. He has yet to look good running the Dolphins offense since Sherman took it over.
