    It looks like Cameron has finally realized that playing Cleo Lemon doesn't improve the Dolphins chances of winning significantly more that playing a rookie. It was the safety that Lemon gave up in the last game that convinced me. If your going to lose a game because your QB is making rookie mistakes, like holding the ball forever in the endzone, then why not let a rookie make them.</p>

    I am excited about this upcoming game. I don't expect Beck to be Marino, but I hope he will play well. Regardless, he needs to get his feet wet and the Dolphins need to see what he can do.</p>

    I'm sure Cam Cameron is putting John Beck in there now because he feels comfortable thats he's ready. Just because your team is doing awful, that doesn't mean you throw a rookie who isn't ready into the fire. Cam Cameron knows Cleo Lemon sucks and that his team is going nowhere, he wouldn't hold Beck back if he was ready.</p>

    This makes the rest of the games much more interesting. I supported the decision to pass on Quinn because I thought Beck was the better QB, so I'm really interested to see him in action. I don't have huge expectations for him this year, but it will be nice to see him get some experience in NFL action.</p>

    Yes... a couple of wins would be nice... just as long as it doesn't jeopardize getting the first pick!!</p>

    So... now that Ricky is allowed to play, is CC going to let him in??</p>

    I think he should, showcase him for other teams that might need some RB help. We probably won't fetch much but anything is better than nothing.</p>

    Obvisiously, Im excited about Sunday now....My expectations are low, because I know hes going to make his share of bone head plays, but I think hes smart enough to learn from them and correct them....lets get these growing pains started....</p>

    Well, at least your team is showing some fortitude. The Dolphins are doing what the Raiders should have done starting last week, but probably wont.</p>

    Beck is pretty good to start with, so I think his skills will translate well to the NFL.</p>
