Miami Dolphins: Sage Rosenfels Signing Commits Team to 'Suck for Luck' Campaign

Wes ODonnellOct 6, 2011

At least the Miami Dolphins know where they are headed this season.

Matt Moore replaced Chad Henne as the current starting quarterback, but he isn't going to be the only quarterback on the Dolphins'  roster.

Rather than signing a quarterback with starter experience (David Garrard), the Dolphins opted to sign career-backup Sage Rosenfels. He has started at times during his career, but has never been handed a team's reigns.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Dolphins did talk with Garrard and looked at Kellen Clemens, J.P. Losman, Jim Sorgi and Charlie Frye.

While none other than Garrard would have been immediate starters over Moore, the signing points to all things Andrew Luck.

Miami's 0-4 record, current head coach and current starting quarterback are not getting the job done. Tony Sparano has long been considered a lame duck, and that hasn't changed this year.

Fans in Miami have taken an optimistic route and have started the "Suck for Luck" campaign. They've made t-shirts, posters, Twitter accounts and hashtags all campaigning for the consensus No. 1 pick in next year's draft.

The Dolphins have been looking for a suitable replacement for Dan Marino for over a decade. Guys have flashed, but nobody has been able to stick. Replacing a legend is always difficult, but going on 12 years is too long.

Luck is widely considered the best quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning. On top of every physical attribute you could ever want, Luck is experienced in a pro-style offense and is extremely smart.

Dolphins fans are not alone in coveting him, but it appears the organization is silently agreeing with the fan base with this latest move.

Neither Rosenfels (when he gets his shot) nor Moore is going to change the Dolphins' fortunes. If they were, they'd be starting somewhere else.

Miami has made the first bold move for Luck by not making a bold move to replace Henne. For the first time in a long time we can honestly say that the Dolphins are right in trying to lose.

"Suck for Luck" is more than just a campaign now: it is a legitimate plan.
