Gus Frerotte QB for Miami?

[Mr. Miyagi]

An interesting rumor is going around that makes perfect sense even though new Dolphins coach Nick Saban has supported holdover A.J. Feeley as starting quarterback in 2005.

The chatter is that Gus Frerotte could end up as the starter for several reasons. Frerotte, a backup at Minnesota the past two years and a former Broncos quarterback, wants to be a starter and the Dolphins aren't overly enamored with Feeley.

Plus, Miami's new offensive coordinator is Scott Linehan, who came from Minnesota. Linehan worked with and likes Frerotte. Linehan trusts Frerotte, and having a quarterback he is familiar with running his offense in his first year may be too appealing for Linehan to pass up.

next they will sign Doug Flutie

[Stewie]

I can only pray they sign Gus. He's going to find it a lil' more difficult playing in the AFCE, methinks. Plus, no more Randy as a safety valve.

Gus Frerrotte? That is a joke right?

[OpIv37]

lmao @ Miami. I'll never get over the time he injured himself by hitting a brick wall with his head to celebrate a TD. Not surprisingly, he was a Deadskin when he pulled that crap.

Elvis is coming to Miami.

I think Gus would fit in perfectly in Miami. Hell, thats at least 2 games that JP has nothing to worry about.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I don't know who I would worry about less, Feeley or Frerotte

Really, I could see the Fins drafting a QB with their 1st pick.

One can only hope..... I see us drafting a QB and picking up someone like a Ferrotte since Saban said he wnated a veteran backup and a young one to work with. However, I see Feeley as the starter (much to many of you guy's delight). No QB contraversies this year.

I hope the Phins do NOT sign Gus. He is not even a Fielder and all Fielder had was BIG EARS...lol

The Phins need a Vet back-up that could come in and take over for JAY2 (AJ)...he is a backup trying to be a starter.

If Saben does not draft a QB....he will next season!!!

It is true that even most Dolphin fans do not have faith in AJ. But you might be jumping the gun poking fun at Miami.

After all your QB could be another Big Ben or AJ....

I would much rather have Aaron Rogers or Alex Smith over JP. I think most NFL scouts would say the same. You traded away this years pick for JP last season. Now you get to find out if he can get the job done.

I hope he can....I love it when the AFC EAST is full of TALENT.

Miami will be back within a few seasons....Ricky Pot Head Williams only set us back a little bit. Wanny & Rick have hurt us more than Ricky's love of the bong. Now Saben is running the show...Look out in 2006!!!

[Mr. Miyagi]

Told ya.

Frerotte, 34, is expected to sign with the Dolphins this week because of his familiarity with offense coordinator Scott Linehan's system. Frerotte, who has made 64 starts in 11 seasons, played for Linehan the past two seasons in Minnesota.

Frerotte would come in as a backup/safet valve. I think his main purpose is to help AJ learn the offense and that is it. If AJ fails to get it, then Frerotte would take ove,r but only then.

The QB being picked theory for Miami is interesting. Alex Smith has some connections with Linehan and is familer with his system. I see an outside shot of that happening, but honestly, we need to address the RB situation before anything else in the draft.

What is a Dolphin fan doing in Charlottesville, and how long has this escaped my attention?
