Random Dolphins Rant

Cam Cameron had to have the worst 1 yr as a professional head coach in the history of team sports. What did he do right? Look at how bad he fucked the Dolphins for years to come in the 2007 draft. Lets look at a hypothetical situation where Brady Quinn is selected instead of Ted Ginn.

2007
Pick #9 Brady Quinn

Pick #40 Tony Ugoh/Sidney Rice/Lamar Woodley/Steve Smith

Pick #61 Samson Satele

2008
Pick #1 Jake Long or Chris Long if Tony Ugoh was picked in 07

Pick #32 Philip Merling or Devin Thomas/Brandon Flowers if Tony Ugoh is selected in 07 and Chris Long in 08

Pick # 58 Dexter Jackson/Terrence Wheatley/Martellus Bennett

In the past 2 years the Fins have used 2 2nd rd picks on QB's and they still arent sure who their 08 opening day starter will be. In addition the WR position is considered weak despite having the #9 pick from last years draft starting. By picking Brady Quinn in 07 youve added 2 quality young starters with the 07 and 08 2nd rd picks used on Henne and Beck and you have a clear cut young QB that will be with the franchise for a long time. I would be much more confident in this team to be competitive this year and years to come . I think the best thing Cam Cameron did was get himself fired.
