Dolphins Starting QB in 06 (1 Viewer)

[mchaps55]

With the news coming out that saban spoke to Gus and told him the will be going another direction and bringing in another vet. Rumor in Miami is that A. Brooks will be that QB. He has ties to Mueller and with Saban saying that they want to find a qb of the future, and that guy might be Cutler. However they might have to trade up to get Cutler and its also been twirled around that he is very High on Alabama's Brodie Croyle.So Brooks in 06 and Croyle the future.My Question is if they did draft Croyle where does he fall rd wise, I know not to early?Just passing it along.

 

[diesel7982]

Croyle? 2nd day..5th or 6th round.

 

[Blackjacks]

Has Aaron Brooks really deserved another shot at a starting qb spot in the NFL? I definetly don't think so, but maybe Saban is just the coach he needs to get his act together.

Hes still one of the top 20 QBs in the NFL. He had a bad season playing for a horrible team with no running game and injured WRs, but he had played well enough in the previous 4 seasons to earn another shot at starting. He definitely needs better coaching.

 

[Bears_Man2]

Makes sense given Saban told Gus that. I think it's more of the lack of quality QB's in the league rather than what Brooks has shown and now deserves.The Saints did have some mediocre defenses with Brooks, but his constant boneheaded mistakes (putting that kindly) did the defense no favors either.

Agreed on coaching, but what do you base your "still a top 20 QB" comment on? He is in FF, but the guy couldn't lead the weightwatchers club to Burger King.

similar things have been said about V Testaverde, D Bledsoe, M Brunell, J Plummer, etc...through the years. But as you see, these guys can have second or third chances that prove extremely successful both FF and reality.

Well, why dont you give me 20 QBs who have proven themselves better over the last 3 or 4 years?Brooks isnt a SB winning QB, but, and I hope this isnt surprising to you, not every NFL team plays for a SB berth every year.

Hes perfectly capable of getting a team like the Dolphins to a 9-7 or 10-6 record.

Hes a guy who can make every throw(including the bad ones) and who can create plays on his own(including the bad ones).

I cant name 20 Qbs in the NFL with his talent.

BTW, Saban and Ferrotte both denied yesterdays reports.

Fair enough, although Bledsoe for one proved himself before being traded. Brady was more of the reason than a lack of leadership or decision making. Plummer is a fair comparison.

Croyle? 2nd day..5th or 6th round.

Kiper said yesterday that Croyle has moved up to the 2nd or 3rd round based on Senior Bowl workouts this week.

Physically, I agree - he's in the upper echelon of QBs. That isn't the question."not every NFL team plays for a SB berth every year." - Is this not their goal? You may be right, if all Saban wants is a QB that can fill a spot for a couple years. Just my opinion, maybe Saban disagrees, but Miami could be a playoff contender this year.

Ok, Carr I get. IMO his potential exceeds Brooks, but that isn't the point here, so ok.WTF are you thinking on Favre, if we're talking about the past 3 or 4 years?

He won one more game this year, is 10-6 in the previous 2, and 12-4 the 2 years before that. If you're simply saying he won't hit Miami, ok, but that wasn't the question.

Leftwich we could argue either way. I'll take his leadership.

McNair has had back to back disapointing seasons, but part of that is personnel management issues. 12-4 and 11-5 in 2003 and 2002.

Brunell led his team to the playoffs this year and played better than Delhomme against Seattle.

I didn't even list Culpepper.

 

[salmonstud]

Brooks is one of my least favorite players in the NFL. It seems everytime they zoom in on him in the 4th quarter when the Saints were getting beat by 21 this year he was laughing and smiling. He has the competetive drive of a tree sloth. I want a guy leading my team that hates to lose.

I actually considered keeping Carr on the list (not crossing him off). I'm talking about qb's who, if I was Miami, I'd rather take instead of Brooks. I would take Brooks before the one's I crossed off.Favre. Almost 30 ints this year. Not interested in mentoring a young qb.

McNair. Not able to stay healthy for a full season. Skills diminishing.

Brunell did not lead the team to the playoffs. The D did. Brunell was this years Dilfer.

Leftwich. I still question his ability to look past the 1st or 2nd receiver.

None of those guys are better than Brooks at this point. Maybe some, like Favre, McNair and Brunell have been in the past. But not now. Carr could be. And probably will be.

This is true, but I think the Dolphins have more interest in Charlie Whitehurst, if they don't get Cutler...

What about Cleo Lemon? Is he in their future plans? Did they trade for him just to be a career backup?

is Jim Haslett deserving of another shot at coaching in the NFL??!?!

i don't think so.

how good would ANYONE be, playing under Jim Haslett?!?! Brooks has a lifetime 2:1 td/INT ratio..he is a good player, but he does make bonehead plays occasionally..but is that his fault, or poor offensive play calling coming from the sidelines???

I'd take Brooks' lifetime 2:1 td/int ratio to heart.he can become a very good QB, under the right system/coaching staff..even Joe Montana would have stunk under Jim Haslett..

[ooofffaaa]

As a life long Dolphin fan I'd rather have Frerotte or Cleo Lemon start for the Dolphins next year as opposed to the waste of space known as Aaron Brooks.Laughing on the sidelines when his team is getting blown out is not my idea of a winner.The thought of trading players and/or draft picks for Aaron Brooks would make me want to rip my eyeballs out of my skull.NO THANKS !!!I'd even start Brock Berlin over that loser.

 

[Native]

Id rather start Mel Brooks over Aaron Brooks.

Before this year his 3rd down % was pretty solid and he had amassed a decent amount of 4th quarter comebacks. But he smiles, so he sucks. Also keep in mind that Brooks never had 1st and 10. It was usually more like 1st and 20 or 30 due to pre snap penalties.

You lost me at Warner and Brunell.Yes Brooks is not the greatest QB, but he is a average qb which most of the the Qb's are in the NFL. IF you put him on a decent team Heck if you put him in Washington I think they may have done just as well.

You can keep Brooks then. Have him QB your teAm for the next 5 years.Once a loser always a loser.

Ramsey is 10-13. To get that, I took all his starts expect for the game @ MIA in 2003 and against CHI in 2005 where he left early with injuries. And, I included @ TEN in 2002 when Danny Wuerfell left the game very early and Ramsey led them to victory in his first NFL action.I'm guessing that's about even with Brooks' career.

I'm not saying Ramsey would be horrible, but Brooks is no more a proven loser than Ramsey. They both possess good passing skills. Brooks has much better mobility. Either guy can do well, in my opinion.

He could be the QB of our future, but I think he needs more time to develop before he's ready to take over the reins of the team.My guess is the plan is to have Frerotte (if he restructures), or some veteran brought in (perhaps Brooks) to start this year, and then in '07, have Lemon and either Cutler or Whitehurst fight it out for the starting job.

I'd be very surprised if we sign Brooks to anything more than a 1 year contract.

 

[mchaps55]

I'd be very surprised if we sign Brooks to anything more than a 1 year contract.

Yeah I don't think any vet signes more then a one year deal. Miami will draft a qb

 

[ChrisCooleyFan]

Id take Akli Smith before Brooks

 

[Gatorman]

While I am tepid to the idea of Brooks, He is better than Kordell Stewart, the last QB Mularkey made an all pro out of.While I like Gus, I believe the dolphin O wants to have an athletic, mobile QB. If the dolphins were at the top of the draft, I see them going young before leinart for this very reason. Cutler is athletic as well, and if he is there, I see us taking him. First day of the draft doesn't end without a new QB on the dolphin roster.

 

[Colin Dowling]

If Vince Young ends up a Titan, and my other two favorite NFL players end up on the same team (Brooks and Ricky), I will officially call this "The Greatest Offseason Ever."

 

[G3-175SE]

Aaron Brooks is horrible, and has shown few signs he could ever be better than horrible.The Saints were 3-10 this year with Brooks starting and 38-44 since he became the starter. He threw 17 interceptions and only 13 touchdown passes this season and his quarterback rating was only 70.0. This marks two years running that Brooks’ completion percentage has gone down, his quarterback rating has gone down, his interceptions have gone up, and three years running that his touchdowns have gone down. That folks is a trend, not an anomaly. Brooks is not the answer for anbody at QB and I can't believe Saban would want this tunrover waiting to happen in charge of his offense.

Has Aaron Brooks really deserved another shot at a starting qb spot in the NFL? I definetly don't think so, but maybe Saban is just the coach he needs to get his act together.

He's still one of the top 20 QBs in the NFL. He had a bad season playing for a horrible team with no running game and injured WRs, but he had played well enough in the previous 4 seasons to earn another shot at starting. He definitely needs better coaching.

I agree. Plus he might have been top ten the last 4-5 years or so. I do't follow QB rating so much, fairly certain he was in FF scoring.IMO He focuses on one WR too much but has gotten a ton better at it. I mean it was painfully obvious a few years ago and well Horn was just special to come down with the ball so often.

Hopefully Saban or some fines will set him straight.

He's a talent. His foot in his mouth often takes the attention away from what he's done in NO. He's a very good QB IMO. Chambers value would be "thru the roof" if he goes there. I even think it would help Brown out some if Ds are worried about the pass to Chris.

Dolphins | Saban may look to trade up in the NFL DraftSun, 29 Jan 2006 07:45:15 -0800Barry Jackson, of the Miami Herald, reports an <A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl">NFL person in contact with Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban expects Miami to aggressively explore moving up from 16th in the draft to select a quarterback, which will be very difficult. That person said Saban would be willing to open next season with QB Gus Frerotte if he can somehow achieve his goal of moving up.
