Miami Dolphins Rumors No More! These Fans are NOT Pleased.... Let Me Explain Why They Should be THRILLED!

Unless you missed the draft today, the Miami Dolphins bypassed Brady Quinn at the number 9 spot in favor of Ted Ginn Jr. Obviously Miami fans went into a frenzy and most pledged to never watch another Miami game again until Cameron's head is held high above Pro Players Stadium.

Miami Dolphins rumors has had them drafting Quinn for at least two months... and the initial shock was a lot to take. The problem is, the draft is a full two days long, and you have to wait and see what else Miami does. Was I just as pissed as everyone else when it happened? Sure the initial response was definitely not good, I was just as completely shocked as everyone else was.... then I said, "Hmmm, I will wait and see what Quarterback they will draft or what the plan is before I ask for Cameron's head". Sure enough, the second round came and my prayers were answered.

Meanwhile, as all this happens, Brady Quinn is on an Aaron Rodgers like drop off the charts and falls all the way to Cleveland in the 22 spot (Originally was the Dallas pick, Cleveland gave its #1 2008 pick and a 2nd rounder this year).

With Miami's number 40th pick, they select John Beck to be the new face of the franchise. I truthfully could not be happier. Look at it this way. Miami spent almost every minute on the clock with their first round pick, trying to think of a reason to take Brady Quinn, abandon their months of planning and scouting and NOT take Beck (because after all, you couldn't take two QBs with the first two picks). It is also obvious, 21 other teams (including Dallas) decided that Quinn was not worth their pick and there was plenty of chances both before and after the Dolphins passed.

Yes it was a definite shocker, but lets take a look at John Beck's numbers (A projected late first rounder/early second rounder). Beck had almost 4000 yards passing last season in college, with 32 TDs and 8 Int's. In addition to this he throws a football 61 mph, good for second fastest at the combine. This are great numbers! He's a good character guy, can read a defense perfectly and is a great fit for Cameron's offensive style. Oh and I forgot to mention he also completed 70% of their passes with a passer rating of a DAZZLING 169! That is just incredible numbers for a guy in college.

A few people argue he was at a lesser known school that didn't have much competition. This is true, but Steve Young turned out to be pretty good. His age is a factor given he's 25 (and will be 26 before the season starts) but if I could have a great QB for the next 7-10 years Ill take that even if he is a little older.

Yes, grabbing Beck and passing on Quinn could be the best thing the Dolphins ever did. I still have no doubt Quinn will be a star, he is a great QB (and that is why Miami used up all its minutes). Still, when it comes down to if I'd take a chance on a first rounder like Quinn or get a Devin Hester like player with amazing speed and a Steve Young type player in John Beck Ill take it no questions asked.

Breathe Miami, day one is over!
