BAD IDEA

The Miami Dolphins' decision to have Ronnie Brown (http://nfl.com/players/playerpage/407235) attempt a halfback-option pass on an unsuccessful two-point conversion attempt that sealed their 17-15 loss to the Houston Texans. Brown had never played quarterback in his football career, nor had he ever attempted a pass in an organized game. He had the option to run, but he opted to throw because he briefly saw tight end Randy McMichael (http://nfl.com/players/playerpage/302087) open before launching the ball in the direction of receiver Marty Booker (http://nfl.com/players/playerpage/133228). His pass ended up being deflected and fell incomplete. Daunte Culpepper (http://nfl.com/players/playerpage/133263), an actual quarterback, had previously led the Dolphins on two successive scoring drives. His assignment on the two-point conversion attempt was to block. The better idea would have been to allow Culpepper to make the choice of whether to throw or run.

wasn't it against the Fish when we tried a halfback option pass that failed miserably?

The highest % person to complete a pass is Culpepper, he is trained to do that and makes a living throwing and handing off the rock. Giving the ball to anyone else in the organization but the man that's most qualified to do it is suicide, nuff said.
