Poll!Who thinks we need a new Qb?

Yeah a guy like Hurts wouldn't make the Dolphins ANY better. This is literally the argument that is going on

 

What a wild end to that Eagles game

 

I said Jalen Hurts threw for 17 yards in the first half and they were only losing by 12. I said they were well within striking distance. I was right, dummy.

 

Four guys pushing you into the end zone isn't a rushing touchdown.

 

Nobody can cheat like the Eagles.

 

We can't even run a traditional sneak or draw with tua, let alone a tush push, because he is so fragile and we are afraid of him getting hurt. Go sit down you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Hurts has shown himself to be a better overall QB than Tua, by a mile.

 

The league changed the rules because the Dolphins were dominating. Not yet for the Eagles but it looks like its gonna happen soon.

 

Yeah I did too. That Ravens game and then the next stretch made me think I was wrong.

Turns out I never should have questioned my assessment

 

Unbelievable

Rules were changed because the Dolphins were too dominant? Hahahahaha

Bro you'd be better off arguing that the NFL is scripted like WWE, and it's all manipulated due to all the money and legal betting that exists now.

 

Dummy, are you saying the NFL didn't change the motion rules because of the Dolphins offense?

 

It doesn't matter who it worked against. They changed the rules because of the Dolphins.

 

I think both can be true. I'm absolutely convinced that the league has officials call games certain ways for various reasons now, and I don't think that was the case decades past. Not that games are scripted or that teams are in on it, just pushing the game in the direction that they want it to go, calling or not calling penalties in just the right moment.

 

Yeah...but if it was scripted, that's how they would do it. It's exactly the same in the NBA.

 

I stopped watching basketball in the late 90s because of that. Certain players were absolutely immune from being called for anything, while their opponents got called for breathing on them. Its not what I want sports to be, and I really never felt that the NFL was that way in the 80s, 90s or early 2000s. But the longer we've gone from the landmark 2011 CBA that shook a lot of things up all over the NFL landscape, the more I feel like the current leadership really has a finger on the scale tilting things the direction that they want it to go, and only big injuries to key players can be a variable that alters that. And instead from 32 equal partners, the NFL has become another situation of the big teams that people want to have eyeballs on, and the ones that they want to push into the corner.

 

Yeah I haven't watched basketball in years

 

Herbert and Harbaugh, we missed on them both because of the couple of clowns we have as GM and owner.

 

Harbaugh is an insufferable weirdo himself, and I never wanted him. He's also almost 62 years old, and likely won't be the Chargers HC for a very long time. He bailed on the 49ers after just four years despite high levels of success.

 

There are other choices. I like McDaniel more than any other coach the Fins have had since Wanny. Not that he's great, because he's not. But he's a C- instead of an F.

 

Harbaugh has for gotten more about coaching than Mcdnaiel has ever known. It's not even a comparison. Harbaugh is one of the best coaches in all of football. Be serious...

 

I didn't say McDaniel was better than Harbaugh, did I? I said I don't want Harbaugh and never did, and that I think McDaniel is better than past coaches the Fins actually have had.

 

So you're saying that you are happy they got Mcdaniel instead of Harbaugh. Again, be serious

 

I'm saying it was never one or the other. Ross tried for Harbaugh years ago and it blew up in his face. Harbaugh wasn't leaving Michigan when Flores was fired.

Either way, I think that Harbaugh is both a strange person that I don't like, as well as someone who's unreliable and is a much higher risk to bail on/abandon his team than most NFL head coaches.

As it turned out, of all eight head coaches that were hired in 2022, McDaniel has had the most success, believe it or not. So if there was a choice to be made among those candidates, it looks like Ross made the right one given those options. The big miss seems to have been hiring Flores instead of Matt LaFleur back in 2019, had LaFleur been interested. Had we had an opening in 2017, they could have gone with Shanahan or McVay, but it is what it is. It feels like the team always makes a change on the wrong year.

 

Man that's crazy. Yeah Harbaugh is weird but he's an elite elite coach. Even if he leaves after say 4-6 years that's 4-6 good, competitive years with a team set up for success after. The reason he bailed on SF was because of disagreements with Trent Baalke of all people, and the SF dumb ownership sided with Baalke and not Harbaugh. Also, he plays the style I feel you like - a lot of hard nosed running, big OL, etc. It was an absolute mistake not to bring him here but we didn't and that time has passed.

Big week for McDaniel. If we go to 0-4 I think things start to get really dicey. Ross is far too patient and loyal and reportedly really likes the guy, but we can't start losing to bad teams here if he has any hope.

Interestingly, I see a lot of Tua in Russ Wilson. And not the Russ Wilson of a decade ago at his peak with Lynch, but the Wilson right now. Tua plays like an older player.
