Ah well, just tank the year, setup for Barkley. Screw Ireland and this upcoming season. I foresee 16 games of misery anyhow.
Oh, no doubt about it -- yeah I wouldn't expect Manning to worry about stuff like that (unless he's a superstitious guy) -- I was more talking there about my personal feeling about the situation (grin). True, although I'm not sure I see enough personnel-finding talent out of Ireland to be particularly optimistic. Would like to see him be able to find a few more rock stars that what I've seen out of him so far. Certainly compared to the other teams he's got to choose from, that's a true statement. I will say though, while it might have been nice to watch Manning in a Dolphins uniform for a couple of years slinging the rock around, I'd really prefer we find some guys of our own through the draft and develop our own personality and get a personnel system in place that's built around long-term success. I'm kind of old school in that way though -- I was not happy at all when free-agency came to the NFL. I don't like seeing a sport structured where it's just all about the cash, and your worst enemy can be playing on your team next year (and vice versa).
So Denver and TN have better talent than Miami? Before trading Marshall, I don't think that was the case.
Have you seen the hookers in Seattle? That would not help the situation at all. However, we do have some really good beer here. Give him some Georgetown Porter, Mack and Jacks or Manny's he may never want to leave.
I think it between winning and sentiment. I think Denver & Arizona are there because of winning and Tennessee is there because of sentimentality and the lifelong contract. If any area loves Peyton more than Indy its Tennessee.
Every year, we screw up or pass on any chances to get a decent QB. We've had chances to get something right in the last week or 2.. we passed on RG3, half-assed the Peyton thing, and now we have to settle on Flynn and won't even attempt to go for Tebow. Can we get some common sense up top?
Anyone else enjoying the overdamatized piece on NLF Network with Rich Eisen's commentary on the Dolphins like we're at a funeral viewing. Good God, now it's the choppers following the van to Duke. Wonder if Kato lives in Team Manning's pool house. At this point the circus is just selling stale peanuts.
Hope he signs with Titans or Cardinals. The Broncos fans should be forced to stick with Tebow through another season.
Well, if that's what you hope then I also hope you want to see Tebow in Miami because no way do I see Ross passing on Tebow in the open market. He'd sell more tickets in Miami than any player available. All the Tebow haters forget how popular Tebow is and how well the played this year.
To keep in pespective, this entire subject equates to a risk laden, limited in scope, roll of the dice. A monumental media fiasco, which has made it foolish to base any reaction, upon any "report", that isn't delivered directly from the horse's mouth.
Why all the hate on Tebow? I thought our fellow Miami fans were better than that. We'd be lucky to get him and I'd be happy to have Tebow as our quarterback.
Tebow is AWFUL. My god if we traded for Tebow we would be the worst tema in the NFL. Calling it right now.
So, you believe in Santa, all the bad moves were Parcells and the good ones were Ireland, and the Easter Bunny?
No. I believe all the moves that were made while Parcells was here were Parcells fault, good and bad. I don't think Ireland had autonomy to make acquisitions that didn't fit Parcells mold. The real question is, why do you think that's not how it played out? Does Parcells have a long history of being an open minded person who loves to share? In fact, the closest thing to Santa in this thread is your fantasy view of Parcells that isn't an egomaniac.
Honestly if anyone doesn't look themselves in the mirror and understand the mega disaster Henning and Lee were. The Pistol was a waste....
David Lee never developed a QB ... He just asked asked who could take a direct snap.... Ronnie Brown raised his hand
OK..I need some help. I see the "fist pump" button for when a post is liked, but I don't see the "face punch" button for when you want to make someone eat their own teeth. Anyone?
