Why is it that every article about the phins brings a bunch of losers out of the woodwork to comment and prove there knowledge of football is marginal at best?

If the o-line blocks, any QB will look good. And you people still talking about Matt Flynn are morons. As much as I disagree Jeff Ireland’s moves, not signing Flynn was brilliant. Only a moron would pay that much for a backup. Stick to your fantasy-football because your football-knowledge is pure fantasy, morons.

I am cautiously excited about this hard knocks deal. I’ll watch with one eye open..

I hope Tannehill gets the nod. If not I’d be semi-satisfied with Moore.

Trent Edwards will be a free agent again if the OTA media tweets have any truth to them.

“Philbin: “I think it’s very close.”

*Walks into his office, closes window blinds, pulls out a framed photo of Matt Flynn and sheds tears*”

Close, but more like:

*Walks into his office, closes window blinds, puts old “Glory Days” 45 on the record player, grabs a cold beer from the fridge, slumps into chair, puts on footage from Aaron Rodgers’ MVP 2011 season and sighs*

First off, Garrard is better than people think. He actually was productive with the worst receiving core in the history of the universe and made Marcedes Lewis look like a pro-bowler. Secondly, I would rather have Miami’s QB situation than the one we have here in Jacksonville (Gabbert, Henne and the sucky Palmer). Oh yeah and we don’t even get a competition…the Organization has award Gabbert the start due to contract performance and draft position (not talent or ability). Go Jags!!

Yeah – when did not starting a rookie, even a promising one, become taboo?!

Seems to me the better he is, the more you’d want to protect him ’till the team is ready.

I’ll take a Moore-Garrard-Tannehill QB battle anyday over the likes of Skelton-Kolb or McCoy-Weeden or Ponder-whoever, and several other QB “competitions”. And ask Carson Palmer, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Schaub, Drew Brees, or countless other successful NFL QB’s if they’re still upset about not starting right away. I doubt it bothers them today.

It’s like the difference between “poor” and “medicore” – very close indeed!

Wasn’t Trent Edwards a 3rd round pick? Can’t really compare him to the 8th overall selection.

Dolphins are vying for the Barkley sweepstakes next draft.

As long as they field the guy with the best chance for winning, I don’t particularly care. I think Tannehill will be better than any we have had since Marino. Pennington had great leadership and took care of the ball but his physical ability was not as good as it needed to be. If Tannehill starts this year, fine. If not, then I hope he can develop and be ready to start when the time comes…and continue to start and play well for years. It is high time that Miami had a stud QB lead the team and take the field.

If Tannehill doesn’t start week 1, then the Dolphins are sending the wrong message to him:
“Ryan, we drafted you early in the first round because we believe you are a top end QB and we believe in you, but… Not enough to start you.”
Confidence is key, without it this kid will end up just like Trent Edwards, who was drafted by Buffalo. Right now Edwards is a backup in Philly, not what was expected of him.

Well that’s not a good sign……Three guys all playing poorly I’m going to have to assume? In fairness to Tanehill…it’s got to be tough for him what with not being able to even hold an NFL sized football.

Competition between all 3 bad QB’s is close…that’s unexpected

For the fans’ sake, please start Tannehil. This way they can show his hot wife in the stands every time he gets sacked/hit.
