If Brock is the guy that gives us the BEST chance to win, then GO BROCK! I have no qualms if that's true, him being the opening day starter. He needs to take all those "fundamentals" teachings as serious as serious can get.

I'll be honest, I didn't think he'd be on the roster at this stage - but now I'll be honest again, I won't be shocked if he is indeed the opening day starter.

That's a pretty darn good summary of the situation.

Would be nice to trade him off, eat a little of his money and send him away.

With our luck we trade away a young talented(26 year old QB Brock Osweiler) to another team and he goes on to have a Pro Bowl year and puts that team in the playoffs while the Browns QB's stink up the joint and we win two games and right back to the drawing board we go.

this is typical Browns luck.

Back to being Mr. Happy again I see LOL

Trade them Kevin Hogan

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Dolphins are "concerned" about Ryan Tannehill's left knee injury.

The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero adds the team is "fearing the worst." The report is notable both because it suggests the injury is serious and because it confirms the issue is with his left knee, the same knee he suffered a partially torn ACL late last season. Tannehill suffered the setback when he stepped awkwardly while scrambling out of bounds during Thursday's practice.

Osweiler was also in Denver for three years with Adam Gase (the Dolphins head coach and offensive coordinator). I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Speculation on NFLN goes immediately to Cutler, Kaep, and Romo ... hopefully Gase DOES think Brock has some chance

He'd know more that most folks.

Osweiler is on his 3rd team for a reason and it's not because he's good
Either
He's a stop gap qb at best

He could be a late bloomer

I believe he is 3rd string simply because Hue doesn't expect him to be here and he is getting Kizer and Cody the first team reps.

Maybe we can do what Houston did ... give him to a team like Miami for a 7th round pick and taking a portion of his salary off our books ... i dunno .. maybe 8 million ....

It would be worth it to let him go just for taking some of the cap hit so we have even more for next year ...

ESPN's Josina Anderson reports free agent Colin Kaepernick's "name was raised" in the Dolphins' front office as a potential Ryan Tannehill (knee) contingency.

Per Anderson, the Dolphins have discussed Kap as "potential insurance" in case Tannehill's knee injury proves to be serious. No matter how serious the talks actually were, it's notable that the Dolphins' front office is already putting out a Kap trial balloon. It could also be Kap's team trying to put pressure on the Ravens to make a decision.

That would be one of the last teams I would expect Kap to go to lol. Miami fans are generally older fans, most from north east and midwest or from the Cuban community that appreciate what America has given them. Very patriotic fan base. Its not 49er country where they salute a rainbow flag.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala reports Ryan Tannehill (knee) has avoided structural damage.

Kinkhabwala reports Tannehill could still miss time, but that the worst-case scenarios have been avoided. Tannehill's troublesome left knee buckled in non-contact fashion on Thursday morning. Tannehill suffered an ACL injury last December, but opted against surgery. Tannehill's knee could turn into a looming specter until he gets a few healthy regular season games under his belt.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

ESPN's Jeff Darlington reports the Dolphins haven't ruled out season-ending surgery for Ryan Tannehill (knee).

Tannehill avoided "full tears" on Thursday's practice fall, but team officials haven't ruled out "a procedure that would fully repair" the ACL and MCL Tannehill partially tore last December. The team is still awaiting further test results. It's possible Tannehill and the Dolphins won't fully trust his troublesome left knee until it has been surgically repaired.

wow...

Cutler


Kaepernick





















Osweiler

now they're saying surgery is most likely coming, which would all but end his year. we'll see what happens

I believe that at this point at least, it could be a big mistake to trade or cut Osweiler. Whether you believe him to be good, bad, or indifferent, he represents the only significant degree of experience amongst our 4 contenders (pretenders?). I'm thinking he may end up being our starter based solely on potential. JMHO of course...

Trade him. Its so obvious that Brock is not in our plans.

I wonder if someone in the organization has already made a call to south beach.

Adam Gase is there.

It makes sense.

I bet they have. I mean... right?!?

j/c

If we can't get:

A 3rd AND they take the salary...

I'd just keep the guy.

Pipe? Maybe. But it's my pipe.

Clipboard Jesus and Bruce Gradkowski weren't in our plans at this point of their respective seasons either. We have to pay B O no matter what, might as well keep him.

That's highway robbery.

I'd take a 7th and pay half the salary.

WE eat his salary and they give us a 2 or 3

I'd just keep him for that offer. We have the cap room. Someone is going to overpay for him before we cut him loose.

I guess i could go for something like that.

IMO, Brock might be the starting QB next year. Hue might be running Kizer and Kessler with the ones so that he can evaluate them while Brock picks up the offense.

He would still have four weeks to gain chemistry with the guys.



I just don't want to trade away a huge safety net and be stuck with another 1-15 quality football season.

I get that I can't expect too much, but I'd at least like to be excited to watch my team this year. Last year, it just wasn't as much fun

Yeah I wouldn't be in a rush to trade Brock, I still think he's the best option right now..only qb on our roster that has won a game..

How is Osweiler a safety net? He was terrible last year. If his 2016 season was with us and not the Texans, no one would want him anywhere near the field.

ooops .. what cfr said ....

I'd trade him for a 7th and 1/2 his salary ... another 8 mill in cap space this or next year certainly isn't going to hurt ..

I think we can both enjoy our pipes .. *L* ..

If winning a game in the NFL qualifies a QB to be the best option then there are a ton of QBs that are better options than our guys.

Wins and losses are just about the worst way to evaluate a QB.

Tim Tebow is the perfect example of why you are right. Sometimes a good team can win despite the QB, not because of the QB.
