ever hear a QB remark, "I'm aspiring to be the backup."

of course he plans on being the starter.

Go for it McCown. If you go on a 2 game winning streak you'll be better than last year...

McCown is better than Cleo Lemon. The Defense is getting better and quick. The Offensive line must get better but Parcells, Ireland, and Sparano are bringing that team up quickly.

McCown is no savior, but he is the best option that the Dolphins have had in 3 seasons.

The best option in 3 seasons? No offense, but an injuried Culpepper, Joey Harrington, John Beck, and Trent Green really isn't that hard to beat. I do think the Dolphins will be better. Parcells can re-build teams. And honestly, the Dolphins were in a couple of close games. And they lost their RB who was having a pretty good year.

jj730,
I know what you mean. I am just stating the fact. McCown won't make you say Wow....but he is more consistent than the 4 you pointed out, at this stage in their careers.

With a healthy Ronnie Brown, the Dolphins will be pretty good. By adding Ernest Wilford they get a guy that is good over the middle and in the red zone. The Dolphins just have to be smart and draft LT Jake Long. If they do that then they are 4-12 or 5-11

Dolphin fans,
You have to be patient but Parcells, Ireland, and Sparano will build a team. Just give it at least 4 seasons and you will see way brighter days.

Parcells needs to trade Jason Taylor. The man is 33. They could atleast get a 2nd RD pick and free some cap space. By the time the Dolphins are good, he'll be about 36 and no good to them then.

I say the Vikings need to call Parcells.

The Vikings would be GREAT if they had Jason Taylor. They need a Pass rushing DE more than any other team. They still have a hole at QB but, Childress will never admit it.

its really no longer a competition because Beck is garbage and Lemon no longer plays for the Fins. McCown basically has the job because Bill will probably not start Beck based on his performance last year. If they draft Ryan then it probably becomes a competition for the starting spot.

You put Jason Taylor on that line with the "Williams boys" and that is trouble for the NFC North. Matter of fact, that's trouble for the whole NFC.

Hear Hear.........Only if I were a GM.......hhhhhmmmmmm......

Parcells will end up shipping Taylor to the Patriots in a deal between old friends.

parcells will never send taylor to the pats

WHo would be his competition?

I'm guessing Parcells will be long gone before the job is done because he doesn't work for an owner with the same vision as he did in Dallas, NY, and NE. I think he'll get frustrated.

I also question where the fins will go because Sporano is coaching. He did well as an assistant but how much of that was him? He hasn't proven anything yet as an NFL head coach.

I also think the days are over for being a "Parcells guy". He drafted well (and some not so well) but his style never has caught on with today's players.

Don't start counting those SBs yet.

Wow lots of personnel men in here.

Good thing you guys know more than Ron Wolf, who has praised Beck. You guys know Wolf right? You know, the guy Parcells personally invited to a game to analyze players with.

I'm not saying Beck is the starter, but sources close to the Front Office say McCown is the backup, Beck and another will compete, while sources close to McCown say McCown will compete. Who do you believe.

He was McClown with the Raiders. Hopefully, the Fins upgrade their O line or this guy will suffer a Trent Green-ish retirement.

''I plan on being the starter,'' McCown told WQAM.

And I plan on being the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln's grandmother.

This just in - with all of his records smashed by Bret Favre and with Favre's retirement 40 something Dan Marino has informed Bill Parcells he will be making a comeback this year with the Dolphins. Dan was heard to comment - "if this is all they have for competition at QB pencil me in as number one" !!!

I wouldn't have wasted money on him i;d have looked elsewhere for someone with a proven record like Culpepper or Leftwich
