Brian Hoyer, formerly with Arizona, fills-in for injured Brandon Weeden. Jason Campbell is the back up. I bet Campbell will be starter #20 before long.

The infamous 19:

Tim Couch
Ty Detmer
Doug Pederson
Spergon Wynn
Kelly Holcomb
Jeff Garcia
Luke McCown
Trent Dilfer
Charlie Frye
Derek Anderson
Brady Quinn
Ken Dorsey
Bruce Gradkowski
Jake Delhomme
Colt McCoy
Seneca Wallace
Thad Lewis
Brandon Weeden
Brian Hoyer

1. They should just bring Campbell in. He has a lot of experience

Playing for losing teams.

2. Heh ...

Seriously, I thought he had some good games with Oakland.

[Elwood P Dowd]

3. Might surprise some but Oakland actually had a winning record in the games Jason started.

I think his record as a starter there was 11-7.

4. I think the Dolphins are almost as bad since then

At least now we can say we have a QB, though

2000 - Jay Fiedler, Damon Huard
2001 - Jay Fiedler
2002 - Fiedler & Ray Lucas
2003 - Fiedler & Brian Griese
2004 - Fiedler, AJ Feeley & Sage Rosenfels
2005 - Gus Frerotte & Sage Rosenfels
2006 - DISASTER YEAR - Joey Harrington, Daunte Culpepper & Cleo Lemon
2007 - Cleo Lemon, Trent Green and John Beck (WTF?)
2008 - Chad Pennington
2009 - Chad Henne & Pennington
2010 - Chad Henne, Pennington & Tyler Thigpen
2011 - Matt Moore & Chad Henne
2012-Present - Ryan Tannehill


18 Starting QBs since 2000 - yikes

5. Spergon Wynn?

At least I've heard of the others...

[Auggie]

6. One of six QBs in the 2000 draft selected BEFORE Tom Brady

Wynn, Giovanni Carmazzi, Tee Martin, Chad Pennington, Marc Bulger, and Chris Redman.

Wynn started one game in 2000, losing to the Jags 48-0.
