Really? That is retarded. He's a scrub.

Henne>Moore by a good bit.

Who's breaking the news to Brandon Marshall that his 2011 QB's are Matt Moore & Chad Henne? Can this moment be televised?

That joke stopped being funny a while ago. And Ricky isn't even on the team anymore.

Moore sucks, but I'm glad the Phins didn't give up a 2nd for Orton, the Broncos can now awkwardly pay Orton 8 million dollars to be Tebow's backup.

Not at all. It's too early to give up on Henne and I'm sure that Denver was asking too much for Orton and Orton was asking for a HUGE extension. They are not signing Matt Moore to be the starter. They had to sign another QB anyway after Pennington retired and they lost Tyler Thigpen too free agency. I'm not sure what Moore got in guaranteed money but this could also be a ploy to get Denver to deal Orton at a later date for much less.

If he is just a backup and they intend to let Henne have one more year, good for them.

I don't know if Henne can be a good QB in the NFL, but he needs at least another year before we really know. His #'s are pretty close to Sanchez, and no one in NY would think of trading for Kyle Orton to replace him.

Would the Dolphins even make the playoffs with Orton as their starter? I don't think so.

We are going to find out if Henne can play at this level. He's on a short leash. If he doesn't produce early they will bench him to salvage the season and definitely try to get a proven starter next off season. If they were really ready to give up on Henne they would have pursued Hasselbeck or Vince Young.

VY is a reach...because even if you get him that doesn't upgrade you.

Dolphins beat a lot of good teams last year, just mailed it in down the stretch. They've got a lot of young talent.

Hene already knows the offense and wouldn't be on a time constrant to learn it.

2009 VY:
1,879 Yd(157 Yd/G) | 10 TD | 7 INT

2009 CH:
2,878 Yd(206 Yd/G) | 12 TD | 14 Int

Only difference I see is that Hene throws more interceptions, but that's because he has to air it out more. Henne played in two more games that season then Vince, but still managed 1,000 yards more. Henne is a turnover machine in comparison, but I other then that I'd take him over the head case.

The dolphins beat two teams with winning records last year.

They lost to the Browns, Bills, and Lions.
