John Beck over Brady Quinn TAKE 2.
Here we go again. Cameron and Mueller had their mind on who they wanted in the QB position and have been evasive with the media and fans. The trade for Trent Green has finally happened. Although Cameron has repeatedly said he would not evaluate Daunte Culpepper until he was 100%, the team notified Culpepper this morning that they are looking to trade him. Culpepper was just given his medical release!
So Cameron evaluated Culpepper when exactly?
If Cameron was honest in saying they would not evaluate Daunte until he was 100%, then why is Daunte not getting the chance to prove himself if this weekends upcoming minicamp? What's another week or 2 to evaluate Daunte? Heck, if anything it'd probably help the trade value. That and you get a better feel for the work Daunte has put in and how he could fit into this offense. The Dolphin's owe it to Daunte and their fans. Instead, Cameron and Mueller already had their minds made up. There was never going to be an evaluation of Daunte or a chance for him to play this year.
I have not been a big fan of this trade as I don't believe that a healthy Trent Green is a better QB than a healthy Daunte Culpepper. Now that Daunte is healthy and been given his notice, I realize that I was also unhappy with this trade because of the way Cameron and Mueller were handling it.
Cameron and Mueller have again made a largely unpopular move at the QB position. Almost as if to say, they don't care what anyone thinks, they are doing it their way. 'Stick it fans, we are running this show and we don't care what you think.' Cameron had better hope that both the John Beck and Trent Green moves are successful ones for this team.

I Agree 100%. I have been a huge supporter of Culpepper. Not because of him having been a dolphin, but because of his tougness. He gave us all he could when he wasn't even supposed to be out there. He took a pounding behind a weak line, and not once pinned his preformance on them. He has worked like crazy to get his knee healthy. And during the offseason sustained that he wanted to remain a Dolphin. Our defensive MVP JT has given word of approval about Dante as both a person and as the QB of the team. That is a statement of support if I have ever heard one. On the other hand, Cam and Randy are not only turning their backs on the fans, but those players who were pulling for Dante to be the man in Miami as well. Here's a dark scenario for us. What happens if by horrible luck, Green gets concused again 1 game into te season? We don't have a QB that could handle the presure. Lemon isn't much of a back up, Beck has no knowledge of the NFL yet, and I would dread the idea of Hamdan taking over with no clue of what he will be facing. I'd rather have a QB who has no proven that he has what it takes to lead a team. We don't need anymore excuses. The past three Head coaches have been feeding us too much of them. It's time to win at all costs. Be it spending more than we can afford, or getting rid of our curses in the boardroom. I hate that we are the butts of all AFC East jokes. This is a proud storied franchise, and people with too much power have ruined it with their egos. I feel that if I'm jacked up for more money for season tickets, I should be watching at least a playoff contender. I think as fans and paying customers we are getting ripped off. For both money and pride.
