    He loves bbq, good music, and trips to the beach. This team lacks an elite center. Last year this team rolled after cutting Dallas Thomas, Billy Turner, and Jamil Douglas.

    You have a comprehensive fix? You, the guy who never answers a direct question and spins every response...

    Oh, do tell.

    Will this require a new thread? Maybe 2?

    100% correct. And I'm sure you are already aware of this but attention is his fuel. He needs it for reasons only he knows. Do you see how many threads he starts ? Do you think thats rational and normal ? Obviously not. He reminds me of a stubborn cold sore, extreme nuisance but if ignored it just fades away in time.

    "Trade bad players with bad contracts to teams for draft picks. Move up in draft and get elite players. No one specific. Just elite."

    who said anything about trading? Cut them. It was a comprehensive way of shedding about $71M and adding that to the $16M available and the cap increase.

    It sure as hell was not comprehensive. It was something I would've posted as a solution in 8th grade.

    Dude, all you do is start threads little or no substance for whatever thought comes into your head. And once again, I ask you a direct question and instead of answering you mention something else, in this case alluding to some other thread.

    I have no idea what "shed salary post" is. You could have at least linked it. Knowing you though, I'm absolutely certain that there is no "comprehensive fix plan". It will be some BS garbage about cutting this guy or that guy, with no real rationalization on who to replace them with, no plan for free agency, then something like drafting someone "elite" here and there.

    In that first post, I can summarize everything you said with one sentence- trade our players to lousy teams for their draft picks.

    That may sound great at first glance, but you didn't mention a single player to trade, talk about other team needs or who were going to replace our talent with. The ONLY stat you gave was a spending cap that you, "read on one site, but I heard it could be lower." If you're too lazy to look up the numbers and know for sure, then nobody is going to take you seriously.

    The other problem is that you're not consistent with your arguments at all. For example, you've said to trade Tannehill...who are you replacing Tannehill with? Your answer is some elite QB in the draft. Again, you don't bother to do your homework, you have no idea what you're talking about, yet you give others grief every single day with generic babble that means nothing. You won't find a team in the league that would trade a starting QB on the hopes that they find a great rookie next season to take over. Yet you've also said to keep Tannehill, to trade Tannehill, to cut Tannehill....you're all over the place and trying to pretend that it's all one logical argument.

    You might notice that I'm "calling you out" here....something you don't like very much. But I'm attacking your thoughts and ideas, not you personally. This is what the mods have asked posters here to do- argue football but never make it personal. That's why I've never been banned and you have....I try my best to stay on the right side of the conversation even when I completely disagree.

    Another thing- agreeing with Rackhound and I about Moore needing more starts is not "proving Fin D wrong." I love Moore, everyone here knows that, but I also respect that others don't feel the same way. Even in this instance where I 100% agree with you, the facts were twisted by you as a way to start additional arguments. So I'm on Fin D's side on this one....even though I completely disagree with Fin D....because he's debating football where you're making things personal to try and get him banned.

    I have a feeling that your days are very limited on this site if you can't get over your hatred for certain posters. If you really are a Dolphins fan, then act like it and enjoy these forums with other fans. There's no reason for you to keep starting all this trash just to keep the site hostile....and I promise that there are hundreds of others here who feel the same way.

    If you're making something personal and attacking someone for their beliefs then you deserve to be banned- and I can count 14 times you've done that today alone. I have tried to explain it to you in detail, like many others have in the past. But what happens? I directly debate the "facts" of why you think you're such a great Miami Dolphins poster and you skip over all of that, just to change topic and keep people talking about things that are not football related.

    That's why your days here are likely numbered here, my friend. You just can't talk about what's actually happening on the field when there's axes to grind and people to piss off.

    I come here for Miami Dolphins news, analysis, and stats that you can't get anywhere else. I am not as knowledgeable of a guy on football as I once thought I was when I started posting here at 18yo, so I leave the serious thread starting and writeups to the guys who do it best here (everyone knows who these are).

    When you throw up 10 threads a day with little to zero actual factual data or analysis, zero substance, and are so ADD about starting every possible thread idea and insisting yours be "Official".. It means I dont get to see a substantial amount of the great writeups and stat pieces that once had great detailed backing information cited with links, pictures, gif and videos.

    The game threads used to have awesome writeups, heads ups for the latest news before the games, pictures and usually an anecdote of some sort.

    The quality and quantity of your posting means the treasure trove of good posters here are silenced or side tracked refuting every one of your threads.

    Take a step back and just reply to threads for a few days, people will probably tolerate you better and you might learn something.

    Did you watch him play? Before he blew out his knee the guy was great. He pass blocked extremely well and run blocked like a mad man.

    He was all substance. You have no idea what you are talking about.

    I get the feeling if a rookie doesn' make the pro bowl and hoist a super bowl trophy his first year you consider him a bust that should be cut. Good luck with that philosophy. It will take you 10,000 years to make the playoffs with that philosophy

    Not only that, but the guy cries for ANY player/coach not on the team.

    He wanted Revis. He even wanted Jeff Fisher...not before Philbin, but to replace Gase!

    He was good but never great or elite in my opinion not even before his injuries, especially not for a #1 overall pick. He was a better run blocker than he was a pass blocker.

    You keep misquoting yourself as well, so it's pretty darn hard to blame anyone else for that.

    I don't know about elite, however, he was great. He was a better run blocker than he was a pass blocker, however, he was an elite run blocker. He did have some issues with speed rushers, however, if he got his hands on the blocker, it was over.

    We have differing opinions on what great is I guess. He was good, not great.

    He was one of the best run blocking left tackles I have seen and his pass blocking was top notch. I guess we do have different definitions. Without blowing out his knee, he easily would have been a hall of famer. Up there with Walter Jones as Left Tackle.

    I have no doubt your opinion would change on Long, if the team had won a playoff game or SB.
