Top 50 Position Battles: Lemon vs. Beck
# 24: Dolphins backup quarterback: Cleo Lemon vs. John Beck
Beck is the favorite, and likely the future starting quarterback in Miami. Since he's already 26 years old, the Dolphins will want to get him some starts late in the season if they are out of contention. That said, Lemon was fairly impressive in his appearances late last season and has played in Cam Cameron’s system. This battle could loom large if Trent Green gets his eggs scrambled again.
Comments
It's not "if" Trent Green gets his eggs scrambled again. It's going to happen, whether it's due to a hit in a regular season game, an inadvertent bump during training camp, or when he runs his comb through his hair too briskly tomorrow morning.

Greg, Beck is 25 but will be 26 in August

if you take Cameron's recent comments at face value, the battle is going to be Green vs. Lemon, and then Green/Lemon vs. Beck. it's probably just a motivational tactic by Cameron, but it's possible Green isn't back up to snuff yet. he looked awful after returning last season.
