Never liked him. Won't miss him.
Crappy article.
That would be particularly stupid IMHO.
So much for having two first-rounders to play with next year.
Ross was also suspended until October, but I don't really give a damn about that.
For tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton.
Forever, I hope.
If Watson is suspended a whole season, that'll be TWO years without playing. He's going to be rusty as hell.
That's about useless. Tyreek was talking about HIS experience with Tua, not some statistical data based on his whole career.
I've always kind of rooted for the Browns ever since the league effed them over by allowing the team to move to Baltimore, THEN effed them over...
PFF has always been mostly BS.
God knows somebody should.
Intents and purposes.
According to the schedule guy for the NFL, teams have some choice in such matters and the Dolphins requested both west coast games be back to back.
Yeah, I don't agree with that.
Pure talent isn't everything. The Bengals used to have buttloads of talent but poor coaching and poor discipline and lost a lot of games they...
You're way too pessimistic. I am not a rose-colored-glasses kind of guy, but barring really key injuries, I think this team can make 10 wins with...
Why the hell would we lose to Pittsburgh with Mitchell Trubisky at QB?
10-7.
Lamar Jackson is not an elite QB.
Oh, I'm already hearing it from people on this board. Like ANY 7th round pick matters.
Channing Tindall.
It would be awesome but we'd wind up spending way too great a percentage of our cap space on WRs. Especially when we extend Waddle.
He's from Hawaii...of course he can swim.
Why? It was just a bunch of Jets, Bills and Pats' fans talking crap.
I love Polynesian food. ;-)

Rookie head coaches have had some very good first seasons. It's not an excuse.
I was just going on an earlier report from before they released his identity.
From what I've heard, he got into a car accident on the interstate near Ft Lauderdale and when he got out of his car, a truck hit him.

We did.
I don't like trading him in the division.
Very glad to see Howard resigned. Now just give Gesicki a deal.
Just in case anyone is worried this is another April Fools... Xavien Howard, Dolphins agree to five-year extension with $50.69M in new money...
He even put it in the lower right corner. :smile:
April Fools.
Todd Bowles is taking over.
https://sports.yahoo.com/buccaneers-head-coach-bruce-arians-retiring-todd-bowles-002046192.html
The owner hires a GM who hires coaches and they pick the talent. Just sayin.
If an asteroid hits and the world ends, then what? It's just about as likely.
Same owner, though. Just saying.
Since that's what got Flores fired, I hope you're wrong.
Uggh. Looks horrible.
I don't think Tua has that in him. This is going to have to be a team thing, where our scheme and our skill-position players run rings around...
I think you can put at least some of the blame on the coaching in that game.
I disagree on both those counts. Brady can win with any WRs and basically no good WRs. He's accurate enough, all they need to be able to do is...
As long as they don't trade Gesicki or Howard. They do either of those and I'll be pissed.
Look, the fact is, Tua WILL be our QB this season, barring injury, in which case it's going to be Bridgewater. They're not getting rid of him...
I'd never say never, but IMHO, there's no way in hell Brady would play anywhere but Tampa Bay this season. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I think...
Which would be much easier to accept if the guy taken RIGHT AFTER TUA in the same draft, who was preferred by a lot of fans and apparently, by...
"Tua Truther" may be the stupidest phrase I've ever heard.
Our offense is going to have a whole new scheme so I don't know how you can honestly say this.
He's better looking. That has to count for something. ;-)
At this point, I'd take that over what we've been doing.
In that case, 10-7 and just miss the playoffs.
I'm at the point where I don't even give a damn about contract numbers anymore. Before the season, the Saints were supposed to be like $30...
Can I change my prediction now that we have Hill?
I like this move, but it worries me. I have a feeling that this means we're going to trade someone we shouldn't trade, like Xavien Howard, to get...
It's a good signing, but I still wonder what we're going to do at RT.
I think he'll get hurt and miss at least one game and Bridgewater will start that game and win, causing a QB controversy.
8-9
We weren't going to make the playoffs either way.
Given history, he probably is.

The Browns being the Browns again...
Well, guess the Falcon fans won't get the chance to cheer for the creep unless the Browns come to town...
Watson will fit right in there in Atlanta. What a clown show.
Wow, didn't see that one coming. Definitely an improvement over Brissett. Maybe we could actually win a game with him behind center.
ESPN on Twitter: "Breaking: Tom Brady announced he is coming back for his 23rd season and will play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers....
Well, as a former SCUBA diver, I gotta say, it does do you good if you really have to pee and don't want to get back on the boat and get out of...
Thank God, at least about not wanting Watson. This team already has a tarnished reputation.
Without the threat to run, I don't think Lamar Jackson is a starting NFL QB. He's just not accurate enough.
I remember that game very well. Went to Epcot that night for NYE and had the best time ever.
I hope our priority is O line. If not, we haven't learned a damned thing.
No one cares about that. They had a better record and they made the playoffs.
It's very simple. Everyone expected NE to bomb. They made the playoffs and nearly won the division. We didn't.
Yes, I suppose nowadays, disagreeing with someone's politics automatically means they're evil.
I've heard McDaniel is bringing in Wes Welker to the coaching staff.
A reporter said he spoke with someone who said he was a witness. I'd be more impressed if I knew who the witness was.
Since 2014? That seems like an artificially arbitrary cut-off date. Who have we had as QB since 2014? Ryan Tannehill and a cast of losers.
I doubt Flores has anything and I VERY much doubt Ross is going to be forced to sell the team. I wish he would just go ahead and sell it to be...
If Ross did it in front of witnesses or put it in writing, he's too stupid to breathe, much less own an NFL team. I doubt he did, though. I would...
No, I don't have to stop and I'm not going to. And if Ross was stupid enough to put the directive to lose in writing, he deserves what he gets....
That's a kind of racism you can't stop by regulations, though.
Unless Ross was stupid enough to put it in writing, I think the owners will sweep it under the rug.
That's been happening ever since it was instituted.
There's no way the owners will force out one of their own. The most they'll do is take away a couple first-round picks, which will hurt the team...
If Flores had done as the team's owner, his employer, instructed him, it wouldn't have been an issue.
I don't give a damn about the Giants, but Ross was doing the correct thing. We desperately needed Joe Burrow. The guy is a once-in-a-generation...
A lot of the throws Mahomes made, Tua could have made, but for two things: we have no receivers who could turn those catches into huge gains and...
Chiefs 49ers
Allen always had the physical tools and the arm. He just needed to develop the decision-making. Tua has the decision-making, but he's never...
Holy crap, what a game this is! I'd kill to have Allen or Mahomes as our QB.
Where was this defensive player when we let the Raiders score 31 points on us? Or the Bucs score 45? When did his career become all that great?...
Burrow, Mahomes and Allen--all the best QBs left are in the AFC.
I don't care about the Rams or the 49ers at the best of times.
I just can't imagine that kind of thinking, honestly. They're two of the best quarterbacks to ever play and I can't see not wanting to watch them...
Well, now I officially don't give a crap about the NFC Championship game. We could have had Rodgers vs Brady. Now we have freaking Stafford...
And 0-2. Good thing I don't bet money on this.
I'm rooting for the Packers.
Oof. 0-1 so far for me.

At this point, does it really matter who the coach is? All that matters is who the owner is.
Harbaugh.
Uggh, the Cards are killing my perfect weekend. Dammit.
If the Rams beat the Cards, I will be very torn who to pick, since LA has had the Bucs' number the last few times they've played. I think KC...
Be nice to get Kenny Pickett but that won't happen.
They usually come from teams where they didn't have a great line or a great running game or a great defense, where they were clearly the best...
Um, sorry? I believe all my picks have come through so far. Still got a game tomorrow of course.
I know they don't come from Ohio State or Alabama. The last good Alabama QB was Ken Stabler.
1. Who cares? We screw up our high picks anyway. 2. Not going to happen. SF would lose to the Chiefs, the Titan or the Bills.
Have you learned nothing about not picking Ohio State and Alabama QBs yet?
I'm trying not to think about how they smuggled that into the stadium...
Did anyone catch the dildo the Bills fans threw into the end zone when the Pats scored their first touchdown?
I expected it. The Pats have gone down by huge score differentials in their last three games of the season.
If their intent is to draft a new QB in 2023, they might decide to trade whatever they can for picks, just like in 2019.
The question isn't whether Tua can be a workable QB with the right talent around him, the question is whether we should keep trying to get a...

That's inarguable. Ross is one of the worst owners in football. Top 5 at least.
The man has problems. I don't want them to become the Dolphins' problems.
I don't want Watson. But I'm afraid Ross does, and he'll give way too much to get him.
That's not going to happen. Ross knows less about football than Grier.

There is no excuse for the losses we've had this season. Three years is long enough to rebuild. Flores and Grier need to be gone.
What color is the sky on your world?
I'm not sure about that. If the locker room has quit on the coach, Ross could be risking getting his hand-picked all-star QB (insert rolleyes...
I don't think it matters what I would do, because the guy calling the shots is a moron, at least when it comes to football.
Flores has made some really bad coaching decisions, too, though.
All the people in the press who said this team was imploding were 100% right.
****. I am moving to Wyoming in a week anyway. No NFL team there. Maybe it's time to just give up watching football. I kept hoping the Fins...
Agreed. Ross is a fan but he knows nothing about how to run a football team.
This team plays like an expansion team already, so where's the harm?
He can ride home with Urban Meyer after they both get lap dances.
This team is garbage. Three years of "rebuilding." Yeah, they tore down a 3/2 suburban cookie-cutter home and put up a double-wide in tornado alley.
He's toast. Maybe lasts the season, maybe not. I only hope they get rid of Grier too.
That isn't always the case. Tannehill performs great when his team can run the ball. When they can't, he's not that good.
How would you expect him to give even adequate performance when he's running for his life constantly and has no running game? That's not to say...

It doesn't matter who we hire to coach if we keep making crappy personnel decisions. We need a competent GM.
If we had any kind of pass defense, I would say we win the game easily. Unfortunately, we've shown that we don't.

He could help Ross halfway across the street.
Another wasted coaching hire, a once-in-a-lifetime waste of fleecing someone in a trade. This team just puts me off wanting to even watch football.
I think 50% of them were overpicked, and at least three have underperformed.
SOME premium picks have busted?? SOME?
With this offensive line? And this sort of crappy playcaling?

I still don't know about Mac Jones. He's shown some promise and I think he'll be competent, but I still don't get the all-star QB vibe from him....
Good to see someone held accountable. Now if he would just fire the offensive coordinator and Ross would fire Grier, we'd be set.
I still think Tua can be good. We did screw up and he's not going to be as good as Herbert IMHO, but he could still be good. But not behind this...
We should fire one of our two offensive coordinators and put the heat on the other one.
Either Flores thinks we're idiots or he's the idiot.
Man, I was wrong about Herbert. I didn't want him. I was sure he wasn't all there mentally for the NFL. I was totally wrong. To be fair, I was...

Probably doesn't matter. Whichever of his relatives inherit it will no doubt sell it, given how much an NFL franchise is worth.
Jags vs Bengals--Bengals Titians vs Jets--Titans Lions vs. Bears--Lions Colts vs Dolphins--Colts Browns vs. Vikings--Browns Washington vs...
I was okay with us drafting Tua, though I was worried about his hip. What I was NOT okay with was who we brought in at O-line. The O-line...
This is as close to a sure loss as I have ever seen. Maybe next week, or the week after, the Fins could have a chance to win this game, but...
To be fair, I don't trust them, either. They've given me little reason to trust them wrt personnel.
And how many QB injuries will he net us before he grows?
They need to keep Flores, but they need a new GM and he needs to force Flores to hire a competent offensive coordinator. Singular.
It's called decades of poor drafting and incompetent front offices, all coming down from a clueless owner.

Tua, Brissett..does it honestly matter who plays behind this line?
We don't. Not with this team.
If it was Justin Herbert, he would have probably got out of the way. Because, you know, he's right-handed and would have been facing into that rush.
How about you believe in what other NFL QBs have done? Drew Brees played with 8 broken ribs. Chris Simms finished a game with a ruptured spleen...
They don't have much of a shot of winning with him.
I didn't like the Jackson pick either. He was a reach and everyone knew it. There were better O linemen available.
It's beginning to be more and more obvious that the nightmare scenario has come true. We got buttloads of picks and then an incompetent GM wasted...
I was about to say they better start scheming to get the ball out of Tua's hands quicker to avoid the inevitable pass-rush...but then I realized...
Flores should be forced to hire a competent offensive coordinator.
We spent a lot of picks and FA money on O-linemen. Just the wrong ones, as usual. I said it during the 20 and 21 drafts, we drafted the wrong...
I'm afraid this all but guarantees that Ross is going to force a trade for Watson.

10-7 or 11-6 I think is doable.

At this point, I need Tua to show me he has what it takes to be a solid starter in the NFL. If he can do that, we can be a contender. If not,...
Much less than the start of last season. He didn't show me what I needed to see from him. Hope it was just rookie jitters, but he'll have to...
Not interested. I think I'd stop following the Dolphins altogether if they traded for him at this point.
It's been said already, but we have to make the playoffs or this season is a failure.
The coaches may not be worried, but I am.
I hope at this point that we don't trade for Watson. As talented as he is, it would be a PR nightmare and give the team a huge black eye. Not to...
I don't see us in the playoffs this year. Maybe next season if Tua can make progress.
Damn, you're right. It's going to take me a while to get used to the 17 game season. In that case, I think 10-7 or 11-6, but I don't think 11-6...
9-7 sounds about right. They might go 10-6 but that still won't be enough to make the playoffs.
I don't like what I heard as it suggests Flores will bench Tua for Brissett if he plays badly.
Has it? Who won the SB last season? Why didn't KC win? Because their O-line was dinged up.
If you've watched enough football, you should know that having an overpowering offensive line is the lynchpin to having a winning team.
The problem with this draft isn't so much who they DID draft (who all seem like very talented players) but who they COULD have drafted. If you...
Yeah, and instead of doing something risky like that, why not simply take O linemen who are already NFL ready? It's a symptom of Grier trying to...
Yep. Our front office seems to believe you can throw an offensive line together with spit and bailing wire.
Or maybe we could have just taken a WR at pick 18 or in the second round, where lots of great WRs are taken every year.
Concussions will cut short a player's career. And he's already had a couple.
I am judging Grier's drafts on the production of the players he drafts. His first round picks have mostly not produced. The team did not go 10-6...
To me, this reeks of desperation. They wanted Chase or Pitts and were convinced one of the two would fall to them, and they didn't have any good...
You first. Other teams who've drafted high have seen immediate results. Not us. And this isn't Grier's first year as GM so why is it unfair to...
Yeah, let's not judge based on results, let's judge based on our hopes and dreams. That ALWAYS works...
Agreed. It isn't that either of the guys we drafted will be busts, most likely, it's the fact we COULD have had a special player, a...
And yet I can. We should have stayed at 3 and taken Pitts or Chase. At 6, we should have taken Sewell. And if neither Waddle nor Smith was...
I don't think that's clear at all.
I don't mind the player. I question very highly the need to trade up from 12 to 6 to get him.
Trades down aren't always available. But Waddle would have been available at 12. This was a huge error.
We should have stayed at 12. Waste of a 1st round pick to trade back up.
That was not what I was hoping for. I don't believe in drafting WRs in the top 10.
I could see someone trading for him. Probably not the Fins, but maybe someone like Washington or Denver.
To me, this means exactly that Denver is moving on from Locke and wants a veteran backup. I think they're MORE likely to draft a QB now.
I don't think we are taking Smith at 6.
Simms' draft is possible. Not likely, but possible.
I have always been an advocate for drafting Sewell, so if this means we're more likely to do it, I'm good with it.
They definitely should have stayed at 12.
I wouldn't care.
The best thing you can do for a QB is give him protection. Second best thing is give him a running game.
What he said.
Unless it's Icy Hot.
And Charlie don't surf.
Why would you trust our scouting?
And most still wouldn't. If he hadn't been behind the porous line of the Bengals, he wouldn't have gotten hurt.
Everyone I talked to was.
Most of them didn't. I didn't know anyone at the time that wanted Culpepper more than Brees.
Yeah, that's what we call a "straw man argument." It's not true. You're setting up a straw man to make you look correct, but you're not. Yes, a...
I think everyone was upset that it was Ted Ginn, Brady Quinn or no. Ginn was a mediocre player who wasn't worth a first-round pick and everyone...
I already said, if we get that 2022 first rounder back, I'm okay with it. But I doubt we will.
No, if they get a first rounder back, I will be satisfied. Not HAPPY, because I wasn't crazy about trading down, but we got a good deal from the...
Usually, what the fans wanted made more sense than what the Dolphins front office has wanted.
There is a LOT wrong with giving up value for nothing. Which is what we will have done if we trade back down. We had two extra first round...
Trading back down would be such a Dolphin move. Stupid and irrelevant. We HAD the 12th pick and an extra first rounder next year and we gave it...
Sounds stupid. The only way I'd consider it anything BUT stupid is if Chase, Smith, Sewell and Pitts are already all gone, which won't happen....
No RBs in the first round IMHO. No CBs either. Actually, no defensive players at all in the first round if I were making the decisions. I'd go...
I don't want to trade back. If anything I'd rather trade up.
No. I'd only swap 6 for 10, 44, and their first rounder next year.
Or he could be saying that Alabama QBs suck.
You can't use the Patriots as an example BECAUSE they had Brady. Having Brady covered a multitude of sins on their offense.
Yeah, no it's not. It's how you become perpetually mediocre.
Hell no.
It's to our advantage if Atlanta trades that pick to someone who wants a QB. With everyone picking QBs, we'd have a better chance of taking who...
IMHO, getting rid of talented players is the chief way to keep rebuilding forever.
It also likely takes them out of the running to trade up from the 8th spot if a QB drops to 6th.
2021 NFL consensus mock draft: How the internet is projecting the first round...
Bad idea. Retain talent, don't get rid of it.
Why the hell would we get rid of Gisecki just because we drafted Pitts?
I wouldn't be too disappointed if we threw a third-round pick at him. I doubt he'll be there by then, though. I think someone takes a flyer on...
There'll be a WR available. Maybe not one of the big 3 or 4, but someone.
If Sewell is there and we don't pick him, that's a clear screw-up.
Atlanta picks ahead of us.
If that happens, then it means trading back up was also truly idiotic.
Trading down again after trading back up would be truly idiotic.
Well, I am sure Wilson will take a season to get his stuff straightened out, but eventually, yeah. That's what all these people talking about "we...
I thought we should pick him at 3. If he's there at 6, it's a no-brainer.
Yeah, I agree. I think he goes between 9-12.
Well, as Avril Lavigne once said, "so much for my happy ending..."
I am, in general, a big fan of trading up and not at all a fan of trading down. So yeah, if someone is there at 11-15 that we want, I say go for it.
And I sure as hell don't want Jacoby Brisset as our starting QB.
If the team does well, I'm very happy. I was happy with the 10 win season. That doesn't mean I automatically think every move the front office...
Yeah, if you KNOW he's gonna be Gronk. But unfortunately, we don't. He could be a huge bust and that's awfully early to take a TE. I don't even...
It's a HUGE gamble. I like Mac Jones...as a second rounder. Maybe late first if someone already has their key positions filled. But third...
I don't blame him. I don't like Trey Lance.
Oh, that's a downright lie. We've had several people say he sucks and is going to be a bust and one guy even criticized him for being so...
His ceiling has been established. He's made the SB and won it five years after being drafted. He hasn't reached that level again in the last 10,...
I wanted Sewell at 3, so I'd jump all over that at 6.
Rodgers is a great QB. But if he were drafted as a rookie in 2020, he wouldn't take his first team to the SB because no one gets that kind of...
I did, because all of this is, by definition, my opinion. You can feel free to disagree or ignore it, but you don't get to tell me I don't have a...
If Tua doesn't succeed here for whatever reason, he won't be here in 7 years.
Brees as a ceiling IS horrible if you don't have the right tools and the right coaching around him. Because Brees, HOF QB that he is, only took...
No, you're the one missing the point. A rookie QB having too many INTs doesn't mean that much. A rookie QB not winning a lot of games doesn't...
And that's what we should do. If that's what we actually do, I will be surprised. I have a nasty feeling that the FO is going to think to itself...
It doesn't need to be explained to me. You've simply arrogated yourself into the roll of thinking you have the capability of explaining it to me.
Umm...dude, you did notice that Tannehill spent 7 years of mediocrity with this team and then went somewhere else, right? And that he only...
Everyone knew before they went in the draft that Elway and Manning were going to be great pro QBs. They struggled with INTs, but they never once...
Sorry, bub. You don't get to tell me what proper perspective is. I've been watching this team since the early 70s. I will decide what the...
Everyone knows we're going to keep him one or two more years. That's clear now. The question is whether that was a good idea or not. No one is...
No, it doesn't. Brees is his ceiling. His floor is quite a bit lower. And you have no argument.
You're ridiculous. You disagree with my assessment of Tua? Fine. There's room for disagreement. To say it's impossible to assess a QB from...
No, I am not off the mark for any of what I've said about Tua. You're simply in denial. Tua may be a good QB. A serviceable QB who can take our...
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I want Flores restraining him from slinging it 50 times a game. I don't want him restraining himself.
Your thinking is mired in mediocrity. I don't want a "solid veteran." I want a top-tier QB who can carry a team. That's what we thought we were...
Stats don't tell everything in a rookie QB. To quote Bill Belichick, stats are for losers. QBs who are going to be great show something in even...
