Football experts,a woman needs some of your opinions?

I want to know if the Dolphins offense should do a better job of protecting their q/b or are their q/b's just slow in releases ?Their last q/b was sacked a lot as well.I am a female and I am trying to learn the game.Some people say Miami doesn't want a black q/b is this so ?Do you think it's the coach ?I really would like some of you who know the games opinion. Thanks guys,or girls.

    Ok good place to start. The QB is only as good as the O-line in most cases.(elway,marino etc exceptions.....elway knew when to run and could,Marino the fastest release of all time).You also need a threat at Wr that d's are afraid of so not to blitz too much.A good running game is a must for any team.Throw in some draws and screens to slow down the rush.Culpepper isn't comfy with that offense yet and may never be.he had alot faith in his old receivers AND coaches.this is the NFL....if your not getting better your falling behind.Sophmore jinx goes for coaches too.....see Shula,Parcels,Gibbs,Laundry etc.....They overthink the game until they realize they can't block,throw catch run and tackle.Miami will be better in 07 no matter who is QB.....or what color he is.Give me a break......if he wins he could be green and purple....fans don't care.I know I don't.......EAGLES.

    It has nothing to do with race, it's Miami's fault for picking Daunte over Drew. Who would've thought that a shoulder heals faster than a knee with three blown ligaments? Idiots. Now Marcus Vick is about to play the next game....that's telling you something is wrong riighhtt there!

    Good question. I think it's both. Culpepper holds onto the ball too long AND his O-line isn't good enough to protect him. A QB needs his O-line to create a pocket in order for him to be able to sit back and go over his reads.
