McCown leading Fins QB race?

Feedback from a few players is that Josh McCown was the sharpest of the quarterbacks the past month and appears the most ready to play, and strong-armed Chad Henne flashed impressive skills but needs seasoning. Tony Sparano would love for a starter to emerge from among McCown, Henne and John Beck by the third preseason game, ``but I'm not sure that happens.''

Will be very difficult for Dolphins to be worse than last year. Almost impossible, but sure will try.

This could be a good thing for Chad Henne. He's got to get the speed of the game down, as well as the mental aspect. It may be good for him to ride the pine.

I have been sold on him as the starter since they got him. He will not make them a playoff team and definitely won't be a top QB this year. But he at least has more experience than Henne and Beck. Also you don't want your young QBs taking as many hits as the starting QB will behind that swiss cheese offensive line.

Very SAD. McCown was far and away the worst quarterback on the raiders. which tells you something. Dont be sold on him. Beck should be starting to see what he is worth.

Might as well switch the Canes and Dolphins eh? Dolphins are gonna suck again this year. They're in a 5-10 maybe 20 year rebuilding project

Essentially, the Phins traded Culpepper for McNown. Where's Culpepper now if the Raiders didn't resign him?

Give the ball to Henne and let him learn while they are down. He's a quick learner and it's not like they have anything to lose. Josh McCown is always the best in training camp, has never delivered during the season no matter where he's been.
