Who knows how this Dolphins three-way quarterback situation will resolve itself, but as it plays out, one thing is becoming abundantly clear: last year's second-round pick John Beck, is this year's new Cleo Lemon. Which is to say, he's pretty much out of the running for the gig before the competition gets going. I mentioned yesterday that Chad Henne, this year's second-rounder, was finally under contract, which means that, for all practical purposes, he and journeyman Josh McCown will battle it out for the right to lead a team that won a whopping one time last year. And according to Pro Football Weekly, McCown is the early (early, early) leader for the honor:
Sources close to the club say [McCown] has impressed coach Tony Sparano with the ease with which he's picked up the nuances of the offensive system, which they credit to McCown's experience playing in many different systems. "He has this air of confidence to him," one source told PFW. "He's just this relaxed, happy kid who feels comfortable with where he's at." Additionally, he's been terrific throwing on the run, specifically on rollouts, which the Fins are expecting to utilize often.It's not the perfect scenario, but McCown is better than either Daunte Culpepper or Trent Green, two players way past their primes by the time Miami brought them in to help "turn things around" (or some such).
Oh, and in case you needed confirmation, Beck had a "disastrous" start to camp, which has a lot to do with how the depth chart is shaking out. In Beck's defense, he wasn't bad in limited duty last season, but he's now the victim of being the "quarterback of the future" in the eyes of a front office that was just collectively canned.
