2003Contenders Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Recall that the 82 Dolphins went back and forth between the supremely talented but inexperienced David Woodley and the weak-armed but very cerebral Don Strock. Word was that the players had little faith in Woodley -- and that they didn't especially like his personality. Meanwhile, Strock was a locker room favorite and the chosen starter by his teammates. Their #1 defense was good enough to get them to the Super Bowl, despite the shortcomings of both QBs. Of course, they lost to the Redskins. I bring this up because I see some of the similarities between those two guys and the two we have on hand. How did the Dolphins' situation resolve itself? Well, the front office must have felt that a NONE OF THE ABOVE answer was in order. With their very next draft pick they selected a guy named Dan Marino. Woodley faded into oblivion, Strock became one of the all time great clipboard QBs, and the rest -- as they say -- is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye Eric Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Did the 82 Dolphins also have an inept OL? It is amazing how experience can make a QB look better behind an inept line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
