DAVIE, Fla. -- A great battle to be the Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback has begun and the competitors couldn't be more different.
In the right corner stands a wily veteran with a personality and beard that could earn him write-in votes for mayor.

In the left corner stands a ray of hope, a chance for a long-term answer to the Dolphins' two-decade quarterback problem.
