08:51 AM ET 06.10 | Some Dolphins players have been especially impressed by David Garrard in offseason sessions -- he's polished, practices well (Matt Moore isn't considered a great practice player) and has skills well suited for the West Coast offense. Don't dismiss his chances in this competition, though there's also a chance he doesn't make the team if Moore or Ryan Tannehill wins the job. That's because Miami must pay him at least $3.35 million if he sticks.

He'll stick as the backup. You need 2 QB's capable of starting in the NFL.

And, your point is, DJ?

Indeed. That's why they should pony up the 3 mil and keep Garrard on the roster.

The players are not the ones who will pay Garrard. He couldn't find a job last year and all of a sudden he is the man. If he is the best they think they have it will be a long season in South Fla.

That goes without saying Garrard or no Garrard

Moore is signed for $2.5 million this year. The he becomes UFA.

There are higher paid kickers in the NFL than the Dolphins have invested in their QBs. Tells you all you need to know.

Is it me? or does it seem that most of the NFL T&R's are about NFC and AFC East teams?

For your informat Matt Moore was player of the week in the AFC Last Year, he's going to do fine!!!

I know coaches who won't play a guy if he doesn't practice well despite how good he plays on game day. This explains all the apprehenson surrounding Moore and whether or not he can become a full fledged NFL starter.

So according to the article, Garrard might make the team or he might not. Glad I read the article, I would hate to have missed that.

I for one, am sick of Harbaugh, so, no.

I would love to see Garrard move on to a better team such as Buffalo. Miami has little offensive talent.
