While the Dolphins fans wait, they are most certainly shaking their head.
Flashback to the 2008 NFL draft when the Dolphins, in dire need of a starting quarterback opted to take offensive tackle Jake Long with the number one overall pick. The anticipated pick they should have made so many years ago is now a Super Bowl quarterback.
Today Atlanta’s Matt Ryan, taken after Long in that draft, has beaten the Green Bay Packers for his first trip to the Super Bowl. Ryan wasn’t even selected number two overall, he was taken in the third spot. Yet Miami who was desperate for a quarterback opted for Long and Chad Henne in round two.
