    2017 is just like 2009 smoke and mirrors!
    2019 we will be searching once again for new front office and coaching staff.
    Offence is horrible!

    $22M cap savings cutting Pouncey, James and Thomas. It has to start there. Pass rush seems to have disappeared too

    Looking.at.this schedule we will probally be 6-10 .I wonder where that would put us in the draft.Alot of bad teams this year and it's time to find a true franchise Qb.

    $9M. Maybe move him to LT and move Tunsil inside.

    I will also say this, since you are up early, we ran the ball 16x with drake and will. It looks like Gase has given up in a way on running, which makes sense and now turning to giving those back the touches through the air. It is actually a good, coaching decision

    I think safely, Clev, Indy, Giants, Chic and SF would be ahead of us. I think there would be a few other teams with 6 wins and it gets messy then. Usually 6-10 get you in top 11.

    I agree but with this team prone to drive killing penalties we need to take shots.The raiders secondary was depleted and we had parker back but no shots when it mattered?What was gase thinking when james went out and gave young no help against mack!My buddies and I were calling to put fasano over there to help and of course he gets sacked the first play.WTF!Young had no chance.Make a ****ing adjustment mister guru!

    It looks like only the browns,giants will be taking a qb from your list.

    I think the 49ers will probably be willing to trade down to pick up more draft picks. There will be a team with a desperate need for a QB who will be willing to give up those draft picks to move up and draft a QB. It would not surprise me if the Jets were one of the teams looking to trade up and draft a QB.

    I also would not be surprised if the Colts draft a QB in the first round. There appears to be a legitimate concern within the Colts organization that Luck might not ever be able to play again because of his shoulder issues.

    Good news bad news. The 2018 draft offers top qb prospects. However, I don't think gase's ego will allow the FO to draft one early. Ross better intervene and make sure Grier can do his job.

    Gase is in over his head. He looks like the cant figure out why the same plays over and over don't work.

    I just don't understand how you think a backup tackle coming in cold is going to block mack 1 on 1.Beyond stupid.

    This debate is pretty worn out, but I don't think Miami can afford to not draft a qb early. RT got hurt in Aug. Nothing is guaranteed and he could have a set back. I am in favor of drafting one in the 1st round and keeping RT. It's a one year investment, pending the qb is decent or shows signs. You have to eventually do this and this year is full of talent

    Its not like we are close enough to worry about missing out on another OL, maybe jump on a RB, lol.....

    QB would be the smart choice even if we had to move up if the opportunity presented itself.. JMO

    but it is possible to fix the line in a season. The Rams did it. Look how bad Gurley was last year.

    I honestly don't think a qb in this yrs draft is needed early, I don't see anyone that has the nfl talent, rosen and darnold are typical socal bust qbs the only ones I like out there is wash st qb and maybe baker Mayfield. but I def don't think they are worth a top 10 pick. I don't know who to pick first but I wouldn't mind barkley form penn state or anyone from Alabama lol they seem to never be busts lol

    True
    But IMO, defensive back another area that can't do alot on 3rd downs...Wake not getting younger, LB also not getting younger Tim. Maua.. QB in question now RB also in question. Don't feel we are that close. We will need another minimum 2-3 years to have that consistent ability of quality competition...Thats not even bringing up head coach being questionable

    Way to many other issues and with a serviceable Tannehill on the books we probably won’t go there

    You guys are overreacting. We are not drafting a QB next year. Offensive line, running back, tight end, linebacker and bpa with what remains. Qith free agency in the mix we can theoritically plug every hole we have and add some depth. Considering our preseason injuries we shouls be thrilled to be 4-4 at the halfway point and in the playoff hunt

    If tannehill gets hurt next year 2019 is when we will draft a qb

    you see serviceable is the key word. It will cost way too much and nearly be impossible to get the perfect line. You need to have balance.
