Last year the Miami Dolphins came within a whisper of achieving a most dubious distinction; that of being the only team in NFL history to go an entire season undefeated and also the only team to lose every game. Then on December 16th the Baltimore Ravens gave them an early Christmas present and blew a game that they clearly should have won.
This will not stand and the Dolphins intend to make that mark this year.
FOXSports.com has learned Oakland's Josh McCown has agreed to a two-year, $6.25 million contract with the Dolphins. McCown will receive a $2.5 million signing bonus.
The Dolphins were seeking to address the position after releasing Trent Green and, as FOXSports.com first reported, allowing Cleo Lemon to leave via free agency today to Jacksonville. Before the McCown signing, unproven 2007 second-round draft pick John Beck was the only notable quarterback on the roster.
McCown won all of TWO games last year as the Raiders QB. He has a career QB rating of 71.6; which is pathetic. He has thrown 35 touchdowns against 60 interceptions; again pathetic. His average yards per attempt is less than seven yards. Oh yeah, and he manages to get sacked on one of every eleven attempts.
I realize this was a bad year for QB free agency but giving millions of dollars to a guy who is clearly over his head in the NFL is baffling.
