QB Controversy

Miami Dolphins new Head Coach Cam Cameron has his hands full with the decision as to who will hover over the center this season. The Dolphins QB depth chart is very crowded and could get even more interesting if veteran Trent Green joins the mix. Here is a rundown of what the Dolphin's QB chart looks like:

Draft Pick John Beck (BYU) - Beck is the Dolphin's project this year. Beck did play a pass offense at BYU and he certainly has the arm to succeed in the NFL in the future. And since he did play in the MWC conference there will be a significant increase in competition. There are no easy games in the NFL and Beck will need time to develop.

Daunte Culpepper - When Daunte was brought into Miami he was considered to be the one to bring the Dolphins back to the Marino days, however, he has been nothing short of a bust. Over the past 2 seasons he has played in eleven games. There is no doubt that Culpepper has the skills, but his lingering knee injuries have caught up with him. The Dolphins cannot rely on Culpepper and this is evident with their draft pick and trade talk about bringing in Trent Green.

Trent Green - Although Green is still wearing a Chiefs uniform, he is the wild card. It is assumed that Green will report to the Dolphins camp this year and not to the Chiefs. Green is familiar with Coach Cameron and would make for a nice mentor to John Beck.

Cleo Lemon - Arkansas State product, Cleo Lemon, is very raw but he has played in 4 games last season and made one start. Lemon passed for 412 yards and two touchdowns and showed good mobility during his short trial last season.

The Dolphins will likely determine the starting QB by the end of preseason. If Culpepper is on his way out, look for Green to start. If not, we suspect Culpepper and Green will battle till the end.
