In keeping with my theme today of writing articles that are just AGM scoops of ESPN, the aforementioned website is reporting that the hapless Miami Dolphins have so little hap that they are going to start rookie quarterback John Beck Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Cleo Lemon had 3 touchdowns and 4 interceptions on 923 yards passing in his work filling in for the injured Trent Green, but the most important stat is this: 0. As in wins that the Dolphins have this season. The Dolphins are so bad that there are legitimate arguments popping up over which is more likely: that they will go winless, or that the New England Patriots will go undefeated. Former members of the '72 Dolphins have come out in public and said that perhaps a coaching change needs to be made, calling for legendary coach Don Shula to replace first-year man Cam Cameron at the helm (that's from the ESPN Football Today podcast with Jeremy Green). Beck is the first quarterback that the Miami Dolphins have picked in the first two rounds of the draft since some guy named Dan Marino, so it stands to reason that they'll take a look at him now.
Discussion time again, kids. What other teams with young quarterbacks need to take a look at them? Is it time for JaMarcus Russell? How about Kevin Kolb? Will Brady Quinn ever see a center's butt in a game now that Derek Anderson has emerged as something akin to the second coming of Bernie Kosar?
