Dan Marino doesn’t think it would be a bad idea for the Dolphins to draft a quarterback this year.

“I don’t know if the Dolphins are going do that,” Marino said of drafting a quarterback. “But you do have to look at the way the league is now, there’s injuries and you do have to have solid players and solid people at each position, especially at quarterback, if something happens to your starter.”

Still, there’s a feeling in some circles that the Dolphins need an insurance policy at quarterback, in case Tannehill starts wandering down the Chad Henne path of malaise/regression.

Washington ensured itself by drafting two quarterbacks last year – Robert Griffin III with the No. 2 pick in the first round and Kirk Cousins in the fourth round – and it paid off when Griffin III sat out the Cleveland game with a knee injury late in the season. Cousins won in relief. Now the Redskins have reason to believe they have two young quarterbacks with lots of upside, something that might come in handy next season depending on how Griffin III recovers from knee surgery.

With the rookie scale some of us have been saying to draft a QB every year

What?!? A QB? I thought....ummm if you say that you are a RT hater! Marino is a hater like us Mitch! lol...

Notice how I had to say it is not a knock on Tannehill.

Dont see how its a knock on Tannehill in the first place.

That's the point. Earlier in the season some of us on the boards were saying we should draft a QB and we were called RT "haters" (so cliche) which is totally untrue. The bottomline is that nothing is ever set in stone and RT has not yet proved to be the man. Maybe we find a gem or a solid #2. I'm not comfortable with Delvin backing up RT.

If there wasn't a rookie payscale in place, it would definitely be a knock on Tanny. The fact that there is a rookie payscale makes it just plain sensible to double down on the most of important positions.

I'm hoping one of two things happens. 1. We're able to work out a deal where Moore accepts a long term (2-3 year) deal to be Tannehill's backup. or 2. Flynn is cut from Seattle and we pick him up and restructure his deal to that of a backup.

Those would be good options, but I would have to believe that Moore and Flynn want to start at this stage in their careers. Ditto for ALex Smith. There are starting jobs up for grabs around the league. KC, Buff, Arz, Philly, just to name a few.
