Desperate times call for desperate measures. (Local10.com*)

By Ryan Wilson

It's no secret that the Dolphins need a franchise quarterback. We've mentioned it before, but the list of successors to Dan Marino in Miami is one of the saddest things you'll ever see. The team's top passers since 2000: Jay Fiedler, A.J. Feeley, Gus Frerotte, Joey Harrington, Cleo Lemon, Chad Pennington, Chad Henne and Matt Moore (see, we told you).

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is reportedly "infatuated" with Peyton Manning for obvious reasons: assuming he's healthy enough to play in 2012, Manning immediately makes the Dolphins competitive and, perhaps more importantly, he'll sell tickets, something the team struggles to do when it's not Tim Tebow Appreciation Day.

Free agent Matt Flynn might make more sense -- he's younger, healthier, and is familiar with new head coach Joe Philbin's offense (Philbin and Flynn were together in Green Bay). But Flynn ain't Manning when it comes to cachet or resume, which explains the South Florida billboard visible from I-95 relaying a simple message: Manning to Miami.

There's also a website for the like-minded to sign a petition and "Be part of 'The Movement' and make history -- bring Manning to Miami."

The site asks some important questions:

"How many wins is Manning worth? When's the last time we the fans have had an 'impact' quarterback? What about the most cerebral quarterback of all time?"

The only problem is that Manning, in his current state, is worth zero wins. But this is what desperation smells like when you've been subjected to names like Frerotte, Culpepper, Harrington and Henne in recent years.

Denver fans purchased several billboards to pull for Tim Tebow getting the starting job. If Miami lands Manning, that is absolute indisputable proof that billboards work. Maybe we should pool some money to purchase a billboard of our own. What should it say?

Like "Things That Have Been Invented Since the Chiefs Last SB Win: Personal Computers, CDs, VCRs, DVDs, Gaming Consoles, The Internet, ATM Cards, Fuel Injection, Micro-processors, The Walkman, Laser & Inkjet Printers, Fax Machines, Contact Lenses, "

That may be stretching it just a little bit.

I am in, but a few of those things were around in the early 90s.

Not many, but I am pretty sure Joe Montana wore contact lenses and kept it from everyone. I sold my first VCR in the 70s.

You know what, that ain't a bad idea. Not necessarily as a billboard but as a web page or site. Throw a little pitch to the media so they can use it whenever they're wanting to bash the brass. I bet it would get some attention.

Including the internet. It's origins came before the lone Chiefs title.

Couldn't tell you. He certainly didn't invent the internet but was very instrumental in opening it.

You do know he didn't say that right?

Not to nitpick but shouldn't it read "right 52?"

I mean if he's coming in to be the right 53rd and all.

I think we do need to pitch in on a billboard that makes a statement about the QB situation. We need to raise funds.
