[simeon]

For a billonth time I say yes to Matt Ryan.
We need a francise QB, and this is our best beat.

The Dolphins will draft Matt Ryan with the fist pick.  MYTH

I really hate it when I am compelled to quote myself.

[simeon]

I hope you are wrong.

[StL FinFan]

I'm not.

^ I agree with you.  Although I'm not sold on Beck, I think it would be a massive mistake to draft a QB first round.

I agree as well.  I can see the Dolphins drafting a QB, but not Matt Ryan, and definitely not with the 1st overall pick.

The very word BET means chance. It could also mean disaster to have 60 Million and a $25 Million $ signing bonus wrapped up in a BET. I think The Tuna is priming the well . Its also rumored that The Raiders Covet McFadden. If we can make them think he's gonna go in the Top 3 we might have some trading leverage. We might just grab him and deal him down the line for ryan. Who knows...........? Thats why they pay the Tuna the big bucks i guess.

Why do we need a "Franchise" QB, whatever that is anyway? It didn't help the Pats this SB did it? And people say Matt Ryan is a "franchise" QB and the guy hasn't taken one ball from under center or thrown one pass in an NFL football game. Matt Ryan may or may not pan out as an NFL QB only time will tell about that. There are just as many BUST at #1 in QB as there are ok QB's taken there.

Joe Gibbs won three SB's in his first trip with the Redskins and he did it with 3 different QB's. That in and of itself proves that you don't have to have a great QB to win the SuperBowl but you do have to have a GREAT team.

Sure Eli had a great game in the SB but so did his recievers. He threw it but they HAD to catch it. That Catch is, without a doubt in my mind, the greatest catch I've ever seen in a SB. But he doesn't make that catch and the Pats move into Perfectville; thats just how great it was.

We need alot of talent on this team, and in my mind, QB is not high on that list. Not now.

It sure helped the last 3 Superbowls they played in though................

So did that system and all its players. Denver's franchise HOF qb was 2-5 in SB's. Hell even a HOF qb does not mean you will get to, or much less win a SB.

You can look for exceptions on both sides of the argument. You have Marino on one side and you have The Mannings , Brady, Big Ben. The fact is with a high Powered QB there is always the case, like with Marinio, that you may never win a championship. But you WILL win games. If we have learned anything the last 10 years in Miami its you can't win anything with a caretaker behind center. Even when your running-back is good for over 1800 yds a season. You cannot be consistent without a long-term solution at QB.

^ I agree with you, I just don't think Ryan is the guy we are looking for.  Maybe we can find a gem in the later rounds, or next year will have a better QB pool.

[Philly Fin Fan]

John Elway was 2-3 in Super Bowls.
