I told you guys harbaugh would go to SF. I told you that the Dolphins would not take a QB.. I don't know..I guess I'm just a ****ing mystic.

There's grains and nuggets of truth in every argument. But, excuse machine sounds like excuse machine.

I mean in terms of getting a deal done. Free agency can still, and will happen. Just not on the traditional timeline.
The one thing I am absolutely certain of is that we will not take a QB with the #1.
It shouldn't. Nothing was going to happen until the draft anyways. There's just no motivation on either party's part to get a deal done until...
It's all gamesmanship to re sign him at a lower price.
And? He's such a vital cog to GB that they are letting him go.
Well, after the way people talked about him why should he think differently?
We're a classy fanbase, right? We're the Jets or the Dolphins. Our posts unveil us.

Stop race baiting. QBs intelligence gets questioned all the time. Not just with black QBs. You're just hyper sensitive.

Titus Young.
I think Newton is better because he's bigger. Of course, that's like saying "Bad" is better than "worse".
Nobody's 4th string corner is going to be a world beater. If he can't play, they'll cut him.
Probably none, unless you're talking about headhunters representing video editing companies.

Pat White was accurate in college too. He's currently not even playing football.

So let me get this straight; You think Dan Henning was a top 5 offensive mind in the NFL?
More likely he can sit over on the bench with Gholston.
Ok. It's going to be a long offseason..What more is there?
Yeah, I don't think you can have a SB in a city that's lost two NFL teams due to lack of support.

mmmm...Dunno if I'd go that far, but he's definitly a damn good OC
LMAO@ Scott Schwedes. I think that guy needed Oxygen after he ran that one back. No, you're right on that too.
lol..Didn't need stats to tell me Dan didn't have a D and running game..I watched it :)
I thought it was a pretty good game really. It played out like I thought it would when GB lost nearly thier entire secondary.
Lol..They were TERRIBLE.
No kidding. Some people think it's acceptable. That's crazy
Those new guy browns and them new fangled Unis....
Every team in the NFL is capable of beating any other.
Mularkey too. Everyone's an idiot until they win.

I know...but still..Rogers played GREAT in the game he lost previous..Better than in the games that he won this year! He's a fine QB, and, is...
It's not a matter of sheer numbers of rings to GB fans I think. It's about the QB. I think they must love the guy right now. I know I do.
I love that guy....But his stance on Rogers was absolutely silly and unsupportable. Now it's proven, and I know CC is going to eat some crow...
That guys' taken so much BS in his career...I'm glad he got himself a ring. Wash that Farve right out of your hair.
That's my point. You need to win, and, tradition breeds trust, trust breeds tradition. For instance..The 82nd. It's a proud unit with a fine...
When I see a GM give up a second for Bess, I'm on board. Until then, I'm not. I'd make the trade if it were offered...You wouldn't, and, I...
Well, that would be roughly every single one of them right now, until evidence shows otherwise. ETA; Ireland. Ok. You're right. He'd give up...
Well it is dead on fact. You can't name me one GM that's going to give up a 2nd for Bess.
I know this isn't going to help, but all you can do is do the best you can for him while he's here, then ruck up, chamber a round and drive on....
When they do it for Bess, call me. Until then you've got nothing.
I wish I could thank myself.
Name me one GM that would give up a 2nd for Bess. You can't because none would. That tells you the comparitive value.
I hope I didn't instigate or do anything. I tend to be a dissenting voice, but I always try to be civil.
The defense is the one aspect of the team I have confidence in.
All with having nearly nothing to do with it.
Value is value. You can find slot recievers regularly. We've managed to do it. If you turn over a UDFA for a 2nd ... You win. Bottom line.
Rum
"They suck worse than us" is no way to run a franchise.

Mediocity isn't enough for me to buy in. It may be good for you, but regular third out of four teams doesn't work for me.
I would agree with that if we'd shown any indications that we are capable of building a team that can do better than 3rd place.
I agreed with about 3/4 of that post :)
We're unable to find a QB that can run the offense, and, unable to find an offense that makes any sense (PA on third and long isn't fooling anyone)
A 2nd rounder can bring more upside to the table than Bess...Now, with THIS organization..You're right. If I was THIS organization, I keep Bess....

I'd hate to see Bess go, as he is my favorite current dolphin, but if we could get a 2nd for him, you have to make that trade all day.
I think "Too hip hop" is code for "Too black"
Just goes to show you it doesn't matter if you think negatively or positivly, glass empty or full, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference.
Sure. Any football fan should be watching the superbowl.
"Green light to spend" And "Green light to throw money in the trash" are two different things.

Newton seems like he's got a little more going on up there. I don't mean to be mean, but, you can listen to them speak and it's pretty easy to...
When you dive off a cliff you're either "Grand Champion Of Everything* or... *Stuff on a rock* All depends on weather you dive into a...
Somehow we both knew he'd be with SF. Amazing.
Exactly. I don't know that VY isn't an upgrade over Henne.
He's gonna roll it on Henne?
I live in Cowboy land, and Dex is a playmaker, pure and simple. You won't find one Cowboy fan with one bad word to say about him...And if you...
Clearly Ross doesn't want to pay people.
And there lays the poison that will lay the franchise dead for the next 5 years.
Moar links to hot chicks please.
I'll admit, Ross lost his cool. But, not every guy make sthe right choice all the time. Who knows? He could have been monitoring this board...
Lulz. It's the point, isnt' it? Nobody knew Saban lied until........ HA! No, Harbaugh will be different. We know...Why? Never mind. We...
It's that logic that men of reason want to avoid.
That's true. How do you see a coach? Tom Cable did a reasonably good job. And his players are firmly behind him.
No ****. [IMG]
Twitter beef. Jesus. The pointlessness.
I've had to relieve men of duty. It's never an easy thing. That's why you keep it private. No matter what he does at your door, you give him...
Christ. Just remember all you chucklesheads who hate Ross, when he signs Harbaugh.... Damnit. We JUST went through this with Saban.
Hey, I respect that opinion too. It's ruthless out here. I'm used to a different process....And I think it's the more applicable...
It's not the same process. Public sector/Private sector. You have to be much more transparant in the public sector. I really don't mean...
Man, I guess you have it all figgured out. Should be no problem for you to own a team.
Civil service. That explains it. Yes, you guys do have lots of rules.
Thank you.
So you are the savior of .... Who? The Miami Dolphins? Refer to me as you please. Your bank account does not have anything to do with...
I'm ok if we are wildcard. We're in the same division as the Pats. I don't think that's a bad thing. We are in a very competetive...
Thank you. It's not like it's never happened.
Exactly. It's just business. Nothing personal. Funny how this all steals everyone's cool.
I trust men in life that have done well. Ross has done well. He has a track record of doing well. Guys who claim the name of "Vinny" on a...
*ding*
He's the boss. He's a millionare. He can do whatever the hell he wants. Who are you to tell him how to run his business?
You and I come from different schools then. You never ever toss people under the bus. Never. You show a public face, and, you show a private...
Agree.
Every business does. Have you not been to college? "Stock value" refers to consumers of your product. Happy consumers buy more, unhappy,...
You're so sure Ross betters the team with a totally unproven futures commodity? What track record does Harbaugh have in the NFL? What, other...
Never forget, they had nothing to play for......Except thier pride......And it seems they have none. They quit on them.
Did you not think NFL players were people?
There's no benefit in not revealing it.
Within this year.
I bet youre' wrong. I won't hold you to it though. No way Harbaugh comes to Miami.
Why? I bet if Sparano has a winning season next year all this is over with.
Really? How so? It's a business. Same as any other. It's all about turning a profit, playing the futures market, and, raising stock value.
He's our HC next year. No doubt about it.
Sounds like Saban. You're talking about a guy that gets guys that go to STANFORD to over-achieve.
There you go, useing real life examples again. People, as I say, think the NFL is a fairy story, and not real life. I took a job with...
Why? I'm not trying to be a dick. Really. Why?
If I wanted a cheerleader to be my coach, it would be "Brandi" from the Texans. Last I looked, her names not "Harbaugh" nor does she want to...
Exactly. And if you were "In the mix" wouldn't you fight as hard as you could for your job? I know I would. BTW...He's got a white...
He's in the catbird seat, and, he can caw down on whomever suits him at this point. It's what you do. You expliot positions of strength. You...
No kidding. I mean, I can't blame Harbaugh if he takes our money.....But damn. I would be shocked....And disappointed, BTW.
This is assumeing what is reported is accurate.
Actually, it's not unheard of. It's the natural progression of things pointing towards a fireing.
Ugh. Nick Saban II...Here we come. Remember how much we all loved Nick Saban?
They were talking about San Jose when I was out there last. I has assumed it had made it that far south. I guess I remember the 101 differently....
There's no other way to to remain loyal. Now, what you do after the curtain is drawn, is you let him know that he needs to retire, or find...
Regardless....He'll make more than he will as an assistant. Sure. We all know what's up. He hires the lowball candidate because...He's...
I never had issues on the 101 at all. What? Harbaugh doesn't use BART? ;)
He got his position by loyalty. It's a trait he values, obviously. You NEVER throw fellow management under the bus.
Actually, he's got a better chance than you might think. I wouldn't work for Undead Al if I were an assistant...Unless he wanted to pay me a...
All of these things are a smoke screen..But as a guy who has had my hopes rise and fall on meetings, long ones are a sign that a deal is there to...
Probably started somewhere right around the Feely trade.
Yep. For some reason people think that the NFL isn't real life. It's some sort of fairy story. If I were Sparano, I'd hold onto my position...
We're fresh out of 2nd rounders.
It makes complete sense that the 9ers are the favorites. He's got a newborn, and he gets to stay in the Bay area. Again, I don't know if you've...
You get rich by paying 1.00 for a 2.00 burger....Not 3.50 for a 2.00 burger. That's why he's rich and we're not.
I've had enough of college coaches. No thanks. I'd just as soon keep Sparano or give Nolan another whirl. No reason to pay a bust of an HC 7...
OL Coach, sure. I don't know if he'd accept the position though.
I'd venture to say that Sparano doesn't crave, nor need your respect. He's gotten to coach an NFL team. That's pretty darn good. Ross is a...
Some of us were calling this with certainty a few days ago.
I'd love it. I'd take him in a hot second.
We've had one coach that was too loyal to bad assistants. It cost Marino dearly.
Looking now. I'm off today and I've been listening online all day. They reported it back to back hours that they were both retained. Don't...
ESPN reported earlier that both Sparano and Ireland were retained.
Right. I mean, of all people, Ricky....Nah. Like you, I forgave the betrayal, and I really in lots of ways admire him...but he's spent is line...
That's fair.
Our meeting would be short. I don't think Tony's the sort of man that needs to get coddled, or have smoke blown up his rear. "Look, Tony....
And Omar. My god. They gave the man a degree.
Now I just feel dirty. Thanks for that. But I do agree with you. It makes absolute ZERO sense for HArbaugh to leave Standofrd for Michigan....
I'm going to serve you eviction papers to get you out of my head.
No kidding, right? I'm sure there's a great school or three in SOFLA if you can afford them.
I absolutely agree with this. No way is that guy going to MI.
To me, taking the SF job is a no brainer. I can't stand lots of things about CA, but, if you can make a mil or three, you are an idiot to leave...
Clearly there are lots of factors. I settled in TX largely for the weather. Other things colored my choice....Gun laws... No tax based on how...
Have you been to the BA? The weather is not like Miami at all. I've been to both places, and it's dissimilar in just about every way. I had...
Cheerleaders are great on the sidelines in revealing clothing. We don't need one running things.
Well, it's pretty much official Tony is staying on. I'll do without another college coach. I'm fine with it.
Commas. It's the key right after the "M". You don't even have to shift to use it. I really do compliment your use of caps after periods, but...
I think unaffected. We're not going to hire RR, nor is any other pro team. I think it messes up some that wanted Harbaugh....But I don't see...
You have to have some basis to believe. You can't just say "Here...Believe this" and expect men to follow you. I'm all about leadership. I...
How can anyone take Ricky and his commitment to football seriously based on his history? As many have said, the cat is interesting and,...
I sit here wondering what, other than being one of the best MLBs of all time is one Singletary's resume to be an HC.
Well. we now know that sparano is in for next year. I think he won becaue Ross wasn't willing to toss out the good with the bad. Mark my...
Like Mc Nabb doesn't suck.
Well, lots of stuff is "Against the rules"...But it's gamesmanship. I don't have any issue with "the wall". That's something I'd do. It's...
Well, I mean..He's right. I try to maintain objectivity about sports in general, but I've never seen the Rivers/Marino comparison. They are...
I didn't know thee was a "Devils" side to play in not signing Palmer. Please god, no to Palmer.
You seriously don't think we can find another RB that can get us 750 yards? Right now there's 26 other RBs in the NFL that can get us 750...
Omar does it all the time.
Really? Who? I mean, don't name BS trade theories that include us bundleing up bad players for a great qb.
Please dude. Bad play calling is bad play calling. You don't call a PA pass when there is NO threat of the run. Please dude. Don't tell me you...
Well, there are some that need to be thrown under the bus. Henning, I really do think needs to be, just based on just absurd play calling...I...
People should be killed? Really? Were you just out of ways to express yourself other than to suggest death?
We signed the NFL's most (Well, perhapsthe most, we'll have to wait another game to see) pass rusher for pocket change. I think, value wise?...
I think we're sort of stuck with him next year. I don't think we can give up just yet.....But, I don't see a better option.
Look at all the stuff you are asking for. That would mean we're prety broken. I think our defense is fine. I don't think a great deal needs...
