There's often a top rated player who unexpectedly falls a bit.

You can sign Wilkins to a vet minimum but he shouldn't be considered to be more than a bubble player in camp.
That's what got him in trouble in the first place. :chuckle:
Yeah, bro. This story has been out there for a while. It kind of resurfaced recently, probably due to FA.
Of course they're not "tanking". "Tanking" is a made up notion by fans. Hopefully no need to explain why.
If they're the right guys for the job, they will build things the best they can. They have to clean all the dung Grier left on this franchise.
They'll do the best they can to field a competitive team while keeping their eye and focus on the future and building it the right way for sustainable success. It's not one or the other. So far, Sully seems to be doing things the right way. Who knows?
:drink:
Worst by far. He's setting records.

My comment wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at the title on the clip, which amused me as it was such a dramatic way to describe exactly as you say, a relaxed bit of practice with a QB, his teammates and coaching staff. I am going with it, I don't have a choice, none of us do but I did say that I'm pretty cool with this hire. It's probably the best we could have hoped for in our current circumstances.
All good and I totally agree. I just wanted to clarify.

The headline says UNREAL! :sidelol:
I like the signing, I'm really cool with it but sorry, any college QB and most high school QB's should be able to do that or similar. There's nothing 'UNREAL!' about an NFL QB launching balls to team mates in practice. Is this how low we've fallen?
I didn't make up that title. That was how that clip was titled, so I just used it. Regardless of the title. it was just to show our new QB putting in some work early in the off season, building a rapport with his teammates, etc. Just for fun. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Yes, if you haven't noticed, the team has indeed fallen far, but at least they seem to be building things the right way. Who knows? It's all we got, bro, just go with it. lol.
Multiple firsts? No way.

I will say none of us are going to be excited about watching him run into 9 man boxes all year
Sorry. I was rushing and didn’t realize I quoted your post twice. I tried to delete one, but deleted them both. lol. My bad.
I'm mixed on Achane. It would be great to have him in this first year of this new regime and it would also be good for Malik to have a good running game to take some pressure off of him and to open up the passing game.
However, there is the extension he's seeking. We're in a rebuild. We probably won't be serious contenders for at least a season or two.(though you never know:tongue:) He has some mileage on him for a smaller back. He's taken some pounding over these past years. While RB is one of my favorite positions, it just doesn't have a long shelf life in today's NFL.
You also have to wonder how much of his success was due to Mcdaniel and his schemes/concepts. I didn't like Mcdaniel as a HC, but he can be a good coordinator and he's very good with the run game. He did it with Mostert before Achane.
So, I don't know, if a team offers a first for him, I think it may be tough to pass up.
I'm excited about having Willis.
I actually liked him coming out of college. For a long time until the 2020 draft, I was mainly focusing on later round QBs because for awhile we were mostly slotted in the middle range in the first round of the draft with a sufficient qb like Tanne.
I liked some of his "film" from college and then I saw him in the preseason and I thought he had some "electric" quick twitch movements, etc to his play, similar to Caleb Williams, but maybe not to the same level.
His size was a bit of a concern for me. I usually like the more prototypical, bigger, taller type of QBs, but there have been many successful QBs with his size like Mahomes and many others. You can also tell he is not lazy and works on his strength and conditioning. He looks pretty jacked up for a QB his size. He also seems like a good, sharp guy with good character.
One concern I have is the possibility of injury. That is really based on nothing more than just a hunch, so it may mean nothing. He injured his shoulder in a game last season, but it wasn't serious and I believe he played through it, so not really a big deal. it's just a concern and maybe an unreasonable one. Everyone gets dinged up.
I don't care much about the limited playing time. Being the QB of the scout team, he constantly went against good starters on D like Parsons, etc.
The offense opens up right off the bat with his arm and movement skills. He has worked a lot on his mechanics and he has spoke on this. It does seem to have helped him.
To his character, he admitted that he wasn't ready at first, but he got with a good program, put the work in and improved himself.
Who knows what will happen? It's a tough situation coming into a team gutting and rebuilding, but if the right moves are made, things can turn around rather quick. The NFL is set up that way.
Maybe. it's just the decades long, diehard fan in me always looking for hope, but there are serious reasons for us to be encouraged about the possibilities. It would be great to just see us moving in the right direction. This next season could surprise and could provide us with some hope and good times.
This is a smart move. When there was that "rumor" that another team awhile back offered a 1st and 3rd for Waddle and they turned it down, I was shocked. He's not a great, dominant type of receiver. He's not irreplaceable and considering we need all the picks we can get to replace the many holes on the team, this seems like a easy decision to me. We really need a bigger, taller type of receiver. Great move. So far, Sully has been doing the right things. He's sticking to his guns. This is the right way to do things. Good stuff.

After contributing heavily to the Miami Dolphins’ general manager and head coaching searches that saw the organization hire Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley from the Green Bay Packers, Hall of Fame quarterback and current color commentator for Monday Night Football, Troy Aikman, will remain working for the team in “some capacity” moving forward.
“Kind of caught me out of left field — wasn’t expecting that,” Aikman said on an episode of the “Rodeo Time” podcast about his original hire with the Dolphins in January. “But I dove into it and decided I would do it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt like I was of some help. Where that might go, I’m not sure, but I’m going to continue to work with them.”
Is Chris Grier a consultant for the Panthers now?
Pretty cool:

"I recently informed Tua and his representation that we are going to move in a new direction at the quarterback position and will be releasing him after the start of the new league year," Sullivan said in a statement released by the team. "As I shared with Tua, I have great respect for the person and player he is. On behild of the Miami Dolphins, I expressed our gratitude for his many contributions, both on the field and in the community, during his six seasons in Miami."
Tua Tagovailoa's record dead money exit shows how badly Miami wanted out
A post-June 1 cut leaves the Dolphins with a $67.4 million dead cap hit in 2026 and another $31.8 million in 2027, an NFL record for any player.
The move ends Tagovailoa's six seasons in Miami only one year into the franchise-record extension he signed in 2024.

This guy was never meant to be a head coach.Can't be everyone's buddy and still command respect.
I do think he will make good OC though and nothing wrong with staying in his lane.
Yeah. I agree. Even in my complaints about him and I did want him gone as HC, I said he could be a good OC. What he did with Achane and even before with Mostert in the run game was great. He’s just not HC material.
"pumpdogs wrote:
Well doesn’t seem anyone interested in trading for Tua as expected.
No team would ever trade for him. Even if for some reason some team wants to sign him, even as a back up, they know he's going to be released. They’ll just wait until then.
It's something some of us complained about for years, but it's crazy how truly bad Chris Grier was as a GM. You really see it now. That clown really....really "bleeped" this franchise.
