    a good and smart haircut to the peeps below would be a good start to a new and bright beginning;
    I'm sure that a qualified football exec. could seperate the the real talent from the fakers for paychecks at the posts they occupy. I'm quite sure many of the people listed blow...have'nt a clue and are below football...IQ...to eveluate anthything above "pop warner".

    I completely agree with Williamson our receivers are just average. the sad thing is that many fin fans thought Bess would be just as good of a wr as Welker was and I have to say if that was true then Bess would be a pro bowl wr . Hartline seems faster but I dont feel all that good about him either. If I could have three things it would be this for the offense.

    #1 qb Luck tightend ? need 2 tightends imo , Blackmon , Broyles and Hartline and one more wr, Ronnie brown caliber back and a right tackle similar to Richmond Webb.

    How do you think it would pan out if Welker and Bess switched teams? I think Bess would be really productive in that NE offense. I think he would be less productive than Welker but not by too much.

    The whole organization is second rate, bad drafting. terrible free agents (and i mean terrible) start from scratch, get people who know how to build a franchise. Enough is enough fire your HC and GM draft a QB in the first round let's fkin go.

    What's the deal with Hartline? Can he not get open or something? It seems as if the ball is thrown his way once or twice a game.

    well mbmonk thats a good question but I will say that Bess might put up better numbers their but since we run a run first offense I would be interested in seeing what these guys could do if roles where reversed or if both guys were on the same team.

    To be honest Welker is from my area and we all love the guy so I be a little biased . it would be great to have Bess and Welker on the near side and Marshall and Blackmon on the oposite and then have a big full back in the backfield to block .

    they had a discusion on who's offense in the nfl scares defenses and our offense hasnt scared anyone since the 80's or early 90's

    In a little over 3 games with Henne, Hartline had 13 catches, 200 yards, and 0 drops. In almost 4 games with Moore, he has 5 catches for 56 yards, and 3 drops (all in the Jets game).

    Many disagree but I like Hartline.

    Somewhat separate from their analysis but isn't Vernon Carey only 30 years old? Is he in such terrible shape that that guy's career can't be turned around? Put him back at RT, have his fat *** get on a serious diet and see what it does for him. Honestly I think it could do wonders and he could turn it around.

    Carey doesn't seem to care anymore when he moved to RG.

    NFL Golden Rule - Unless and until you have a top 10 QB, the #1 priority of the organization should be to obtain a top 10 QB.

    That has not been the priority of the Dolphins organization since Marino.
    Therefore we have sucked since Marino.

    That should be incentive to play harder.

    Yeah, you would think so. That doesn't seem to be helping Langford or Soliai (until recently) either.

    I'll tell you what's interesting about Reggie Bush. If you were to compile his stats out of I-Formation both in college and in the NFL his stats would very likely look much better than they are in the spread. It's a simple thing. In the spread you need a quick power move, running against the interior of the DL which has been emptied out. That's not Reggie Bush. What made Bush so dangerous as a runner was his ability to beat slow personnel to the boundaries with USC's WRs providing him strong blocking. He needs that FB to give him the time to beat players to protect him. He had for the first time on Sunday and he was excellent. He had solid second-level blocking and he was excellent.

    I wouldn't toss Bush in the trash-bin just yet. In fact I'd go get him a better full back.

    I think Bush is not used effectively to suit his abilities. Hartline would probably be another story like Welker if he went somewhere like New England. And definitely, YES, we need a 1st round QB to give us the best chance for a "franchise" quarterback.

    The good players have quit.
    The bad players are collecting a paycheck.

    This is great stuff but its nothing we all already don't know.

    In fact there were a number of us saying these exact things before the season started and were getting ribbed pretty hard I might add for "thinking we knew more than professionals paid to build a team". LMAO.

    This stuff all falls on the GM.
    The disaster of an OL and bringing in a sub par OT in order to move an aging and slow OT to Guard to fix the Guard position.
    Bringing in Reggie Bush and expecting him to be an every down back.
    Cutting both Brown, Williams and not going after another FA back.
    Refusing to even consider possible upgrades at either TE or 2nd WR.
    Not addressing one of the glaring needs on Defense at pass rusher and safety.

    This offseason was a cluster.... and it didn't take being a professional personnel man to see it.
    That's the sad part.
