Free Agent QB's for 2012

by hollywood_89 on Dec 28, 2011 9:35 AM EST

Drew Brees (NO) – No real chance we get Brees to sign with the Dolphins no matter how much money I really think he is still bitter by us not signing him when we should have.

Matt Flynn (GB) – Has been behind Aaron Rogers much like Rogers was behind Favre, so in that he could be the next Rogers, he has looked good when he has played but I still think he would be a gamble to bring in as the starter but would be someone to bring in to compete for the job.

Alex Smith (SF) – This is one of my picks for us to sign, he has played great this year if not the best of his career, and he has all the tools for the job and has been starter for several years.

Kyle Orton (DEN) – Somehow Orton always wins a starting job when you never think he will, he is very inconsistent which is exact ally what this team doesn’t need.

Jason Campbell (OAK) – Campbell is a mystery to me he is up and down but I think he has a chance to make an impact on this team if signed, he has speed and he can throw the ball with good strength, he may be the QB that this team goes after.

Donovan McNabb (MIN) – Best days are way way behind him he will not be in the league I really feel that he should retire, he had his moments but he just has nothing left in the tank.

The Rest:

Chris Redman (ATL) Derek Anderson (CAR)
Shaun Hill (DET) Drew Stanton (DET)
Brady Quinn (DEN) David Garrard (FA)
Luke McCown (JAC) Chad Henne (MIA)
Sage Rosenfels (MIA) David Carr (NYG)
Mark Brunell (NYJ) Kevin O'Connell (NYJ)
Kyle Boller (OAK) Vince Young (PHI)
Charlie Batch (PIT) Dennis Dixon (PIT)
Byron Leftwich (PIT) Charlie Whitehurst (SEA)
A.J. Feeley (STL) Josh Johnson (TB)
Rex Grossman (WAS) Richard Bartel (ARZ) - Restricted
Max Hall (ARZ) - Exclusive Rights
Tyler Palko (KC) - Restricted
Brian Hoyer (NE) - Restricted
Chase Daniel (NO) - Restricted

My money is to bring in Alex Smith I think he has the tools and the experience to lead the team and also mentor a young QB that we may draft. Would love to see Brees in a dolphins uniform but I really don't see that happening, he is happy with where he is and if the don't get a deal done they will franchise tag him so I really think he is out of the question, Campbell I think will be the wildcard in all this cause I think he will be the cheapest to get and this front office has spent money in all areas other than the QB position so I really don't know if they will go out and really try to get a elite QB

all these guys suck (excluding the top 6)

I don’t see us getting any of the top 6 (Brees – McNabb)

We either trade up and draft Luck or Griffin or stick with Moore for another year.

I'm with you

all these guys have way to many question marks and Brees is not leaving NO
and ALEX SMITH cmon man, he’s had one decent year in how many
Mcnabb is washed up and done
orton is a interception king
campbell maybe, but i doubt he can be consistent for 10 years
Matt Flynn is a cointoss????

yeah, i will stick with moore over alex smith all day long

Go Dolphins and beat those Jets!

I say we draft Griffin and let Moore start next year

Though that could lead to an outrage from fans screaming for their backup similar to what happened in Denver this season

by phinsphan85 on Dec 28, 2011 12:12 PM EST reply actions

Moore will be the starter next year!

Matt Moore will be the starter next year. The Dolphins will look to draft a QB in this upcoming draft. I do not see them drafting a QB in the 1st round though. Luck and Griffin will be gone by time they pick. I do not think a new regime will want to sacrifice a lot to move up to grab either of them. I potentially see the Dolphins trading down. This draft is very strong 1-6 but after that most of the top prospects do not fit what the Dolphins need. They will also bring in a veteran QB but I am pretty certain that they will not pay anyone more than what is owed to Moore which I believe is around 2.5 mil. That will dictate who we will be able to sign.

Kirk Cousins anyone?

Matt Flynn is the only solution, trading up is an organizational disaster in my opinion.

Selling everything including the future, cause it will cost us future 1st and 2nds plural. Stay the course and BUY not trade for Matt Flynn. Then continue building.

Yeah I like Flynn too but.....

I wonder what the asking price for Flynn will be. Kevin Kolb bamboozled the Cards into a big contract as did Fitzpatrick with the Bills. Flynn has more upside than they did at the time of their signings (he has played well in his starts and learned under Rodgers and McCarthy). But do we really wanna give him a multi-year, $60 million contract like those guys got? Drafting a QB and keeping Matt Moore would cost less than that. Then you find out who’s the real deal (Moore or the draft pick), keep one, and hope the other has trade value.

I say sign Manning for 3 years and draft Tannahill.

Last year I so wanted either Andy Dalton or Mallett.

When they were still there I was so hoping we we trade back in and we did not and look where we could have been. Oh well lesson learned, still high on Matt Flynn.
