Looking toward the future, the Dolphins might want to take some advice from the past. John Beck, especially with a potentially high draft pick heading the Dolphins' way and a number of college quarterbacks set to be available. ''I think that they need to see him play,'' Dan Marino said Monday at the ADT Skills Challenge at Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club.

Even a dolt like Cam-Cam should realize you need to see what the rook can bring. The season is shot, he's had half a season to know every intimate detail of the clipboard, and he needs something else to do.

And by the way, that's not Dan Marino in the photo like the caption says.

They usually save the picture flubs for the hockey page, so it actually makes me feel good to see it messed up here, haha.

But really, is this a revelation or something? Marino comes out and says the Dolphins should think about drafting potentially the best player in the draft. STOP THE PRESSES! I'm sure he got asked his opinion, and thus gave it, but geez, this isn't much of a story, is it?

Wait a second, Ted Ginn Jr. isn't the answer to their problems??

I smell another Wide Receiver first round pick for Miami this year...................World, meet the Lions of the 21st century...........Miami....meet the world.

I just love how "professionals" do their research. The photo says "Dan Marino - AP" and it CLEARLY is not Dan. Wrong face, number - who is the editor?

RB is the absolute last thing they need, so im assuming that was sarcasm PW. if they draft glen dorsey im gonna be pissed cuz we could have already filled that void with okoye this year

Yip, I am not sure what freak files these photos away, or stores them up on the AP server. But they obviously don't know sports. How can you confuse Dan Marino for ANYONE else?

Holy C*h*r*i*s*t, He's only done about a billion weight loss commercials.......

The sad truth is Dan could start and do better right now at his age with Miami.

November 6, 2007  08:53 AM ET

It could be Dan...fountain of youth??? Clearly it ws a misprint..

November 6, 2007  08:56 AM ET

Perhaps the AP is subtly predicting that John Beck will be the next Dan Marino...

Let the kid play and show what he is made of! They drafted him supposedly over Quinn because he was more accurate and saw a better future in him! Well, Miami, now is the time, let's see what he is made of!!!

dc, anything that ends in .. is sarcasm =)

And with the first pick of the 2008 draft the Miami Dolphins select:

DJ Hall, WR, Alabama

Cause he's exciting and comes from a great family.

Maybe they should have talked to Marino (or somebody with some sense)before making the dumbest pick in the 2007 draft. A high draft choice won't do them any good if nobody knows what to do with it. Goodell should force Huizenga to hire a competent front office staff, or sell the franchise. This is the worst run franchise in professional sports.

November 6, 2007  10:10 AM ET

This is a no brainer. Give Beck a shot. He is an immediate improvement over the QB play they have got so far.

November 6, 2007  10:15 AM ET

Where is Ricky (Dooby) Williams?

November 6, 2007  10:32 AM ET

Isn't the next draft looking kinda weak QB wise?

 
November 6, 2007  10:33 AM ET

Worst run draftwise..that honor would have to go to Houston.
