    I'm stunned to see Dirty Landry banned because he argues that Tannehill who has never been a top ten QB two games in a row isn't a top ten QB. We're going to be 6-10 or 7-9 this year. Why are we banning people that have a problem with that? Is this a Dolphins forum? Aren't the Dolphins going to lose more games then they won? Shouldn't we take issue with that? I'm not saying stop being a fan but the direction we're going is not an insert Tannehill and we're five games better one.

    This board is about the dolphins. I dont understand why all of a sudden its become this personal and emotional forum about drama between fans. Take your issues to the moderators privately, believe me the rest of us dont care.

    RT maybe wins the raiders maybe Tennessee and buffalo, but maybe he loses the ATL and chargers game? I mean its really a bad thing to think some opinions matter over others to me its all in fun and people should be allowed to say what they feel. there's no reason to say "what if" that goes for anything "if grandma had balls she would be grandpa" makes no sense to me 1 season makes no one elite. I believe carson wentz is legit but by any means am I willing to peg him elite same with Watson everything depends on the next year of a great yr as it will with RT and when he wins the same 6-8 games it will be the same type of discussions. The problem I have on here and every other fan blog is everyone's opinions are just that opinion, yet when people argue and they are wrong, a lot of people never admit it, but that just the nature of a fan blog.

    I feel exactly that RT is below to avg qb and if others want to believe in stats that he is top 10 then that's on them, my opinion is if you care about stats then most qb to int ratio is something highly regarded right? so then Brett Favre shouldn't be elite!! I think his td to int ratio is something like 1-2 tds to 1 int which isn't really good when talking about elite or avg qb's, but I would take him over anyone but Rodgers, who by the way learned from him lol. so its basis of personal preference I take what I see on the field and I don't take stats compared from this guy to that guy as highly, for every qbs situations are different rt had multiple 200yard rusher last year. It will depend next year, what im going to love is this time next year when we go 7-9 again the discussion post I post that finally says everyone who says rt is a top 10 qb stand up, but by that time it will be something else the receivers cant catch or running wrong routes or it will be back on the o-line lol

    But like I have said every time in a discussion about this, I do hope RT proves me wrong and leads us to the promise land I just don't see it.

    He was certainly over the top, to me it was the banning of FinsfanDan that is eyebrow raising.

    All he did was defend himself vs the Alt Tanny group from what I saw. Was he a dick to those guy's? No more than they were to him.

    It is a disturbing trend of watching guy's who are extremists vs RT getting weeded out all the while extremists who are RT apologists are still doing what they do.

    2 things however. I don't know what goes on in the PM's once a guy is asked to tone it down. If a mod sends you a message asking you to chill out and you reply with a "suck my d-ck" you aren't likely to be around. Is that happening? I dunno, I would like to think that this streak of Anti Tanny's being 86'd (Landry/Dan/CIF) is coinciding with other issues and not the debates between these two extreme groups which frankly has BOTH sides failing.

    For the record, I'm not a proponent of banning anyone unless you have no choice. The site isn't nearly as big as it once was in terms of activity. A site of extremists is better than no site at all.

    I imagine with Dirty it was more the constant starting of unnecessary threads to argue the same things, and the trolling nature of many of his posts.

    As to finsfandan, I have no clue. I've had him blocked for years. LOL

    in defense of finsfandan, I got banned for "attacking people and not the thread" yet since that happened 4 weeks ago I see the same few people attacking people and not the thread and nothing happens, I don't mind if its trying to clean up the site but it needs to be "site wide" not just when paid or senior members complain yet do the same thing. I contest it to the computer tough guy mentality, why is anyone complaining why is anyone even taking anything that is said personal. We are all here to discuss the same team we love, 90% of attacks would never happen sitting in a sports bar across the table from a person you don't know. so no one should take anything serious, but some feel on this site they have "power" which is funny, let the chips fall and just talk about the dolphins and stop taking stuff so damn personal this whole world is getting so damn sensitive its annoying.

    the acceptance of mediocrity is so high with this fan base, out here in LA when the Lakers don't make the championship its a let down, Miami is a let down if we don't finish with 7 wins. just 2 tales of the tapes. I want to be where the patriots are, super bowl or bust, not just happy with a wild card loss.

    Nobody here is claiming we had a good season? Just because certain people incessantly ***** and moan about something that's kind of out of our control, it makes us "accepting of mediocrity"? Alrighty then.

    I agree with the dictated tone, but dirtylandry didn't do himself any favors by posting empty content and stances not supported by any factual information ON TOP of instigating posters he's had a recurrent history with. Those posters have since apologized on the mains here, and I, at least, saw some concerted efforts from those posters to not bring their own personal histories to their threads.

    That being said, it should have never happened in the first place. For awhile though, it was getting downright childish in here.

    People also need to stop accusing posters of being dirtylandry. It's kind of old and desperate. You can tell through reading these people's posts that they aren't the same person, it's a conspiracy theory I just can't get behind. I don't agree with hitman8, like.. ever, but he's at least got the wherewithal to articulate his gripes, as tired as his gripes get. Dirty, from what I could tell, wouldn't really fire back with anything of substance about 80% of the time. It won't build you any currency on a discussion board to.. refuse to have a substantive discussion.

    That's just how I feel though.

    This is why I don't even post that much anymore.Why argue over the team I love with other fans.The arguments just go on and on because nobody will ever admitt they are wrong.I also noticed this site is getting less and less traffic every year.The mods should ask themselves why is this happening.And no its not trumps fault.

    It’s become a whole “if you think Tannehill is average that means your DirtyLandry and our focus is now to have you banned” and that is so transparent and easy to see as I have been baited on quite a few occasions. They do this to belittle the poster as we all know DirtyLandry wasn’t too great of a poster and it’s used as an insult. Personally, I find it funny and annoying at the same time because if I was to say that the 5 guys who think Tannehill is elite/top 10 were all the same person, I would get unfair penalties against me.

    What’s funny is most people around planet earth would find Tannehill to be an average QB which would mean there is a lot of DirtyLandry.

    Say what you want about DirtyLandry, I didn’t think he was a good poster but he sure left his mark around here.

    its because some people feel that only their opinions matter, when in a sense everything is an opinion until RT career is over you cant say he is elite, you cant say he's this and that, he hasn't won more than what 7 games in a season and no playoff games? so everyone's opinions should be that an opinion. until he leads us to the playoffs and we actually fight for the division yearly its all BS to cry home to momma about. because we have no idea what he is or isn't, its an opinion and like politics there's people on both sides of the fence. too many trophy's given out for 5th place no one is willing to be wrong.

    we should have the mods have a dirty landry trophy or achievement hahah.

    its funny there are more people who think RT is avg or below avg than there are people who think he's top 10, its just asinine to tell someone there wrong. ya you'd get banned for attacking someone if you pointed out things about anyone else. I was called dirty Landry a few times, I know look at it as an achievement and am proud of it hahahahah

    I had someone calling me Dirty and didn’t even know what he was talking about until a week later lmao (silly me for thinking he was talking about the movie “Low Down Dirty Shame”... as a lot of my friends will call me Low Down Dirty)

    But here’s the kicker, 1 poster who witch hunts, goes so crazy with it that you clearly know this guy has a few names himself on here. He gives himself up so easily because that’s all he does now is call people Dirty and just serious projections of what he is more than likely doing himself.

    We have to stop replying to each other Balla, soon they will say me and you are the same person and come up with some crazy Shutter Island type theory for the “why and how” this is happening.

    The real question is how many people outside this site think he is top 10?
    He is not top 10 until he is top 10.Will that ever happen?I hope so but now coming off this long layoff with knee.I have my doubts.
    If he doesn't do it in 2018 it's time to move on.

    Outside of this site, maybe 5% of America would say he is top 10. I’m gift wrapping that 5% too because i think it could end up being a lot lower.

    Have a conversation with a non Phins fan outside the Miami region and ask a fan about Tannehill.... he wouldn’t even know what to tell you.... “uhhhhh he still plays?” would be the general tone you got back.

    I agree that's the thing I usually form my own opinion then I hear everyone else's opinion and then pass judgment, I have not heard one time that RT comeback will push Miami to the next level by anyone in the professional ranks, just bloggers. I mean stats are great but I really pay little attention to them as what I see on the field and to be honest I have higher hopes for Jimmy G than RT I watched the game against Jax and not one point in RT career have I said damn this dude is good, as many times as I did in 1 game for jimmy G and he by far has a worse team in SF than Rt does in Miami.

    ya missing 2017 really hurt him because with the strength of schedule next year might be high if he doesn't succeed I don't know how you don't move on from him ya know?

    I as well hope he strives and proves me wrong, and guess what if he does ill come back and apologize.

    Jimmy G is the perfect example of a qb elevating the players around him.
    Thank god the pats traded him away.

    QBs have hardly any affect over the game though. QBs and kickers hold the same weight in regards to winning. Haven’t you heard?

    ive heard that from some other people on here spoken the same way, you must all be the same person.

    no one is basing anything on facts we are joking around about how ridiculous it is people saying every is dirty.

    I agree derailing a post with non sense is bad, but whats also bad is everyone getting their panties in a bunch over something that means nothing and complaining and saying insults as everyone is dirty, is childish and just as bad as your so called "straw man" so if you going to look at one side look at the other.

    ya i mean the long snappers really struggle the team struggles.

    this is a qb driven league, I've said this 100 times the bad part about Miami is that they are creating an atmosphere where no one wants to come and play, that needs to change. i have some insight and wont share how i know but the whole deal with grimes and his wife, the whole rt thing is interesting she should have not put it on social media but the information was pretty profound.
