To be fair, "I don't like <insert player>" in a football context most often means you don't think he's good. It rarely means you actually don't...

Give me one Josh Rosen please. This dude is going to have the absolute biggest chip on his shoulder by the time he hits the field next....

Perhaps eventually you should just say you were wrong?

It's also a very Patriots way of doing things by trying to maximize value, which is smart. Also, the Pats have been heavily rumored to be...

Ok, go ahead and get hired as a HC. I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong when that happens.

I like the direction we’re headed with Flores, but Gase is highly respected by one of the greatest QBs of all time and by a handful of pretty good...

For sure. It's definitely dependent on who's actually available at 13, so I think they're probably keeping themselves open to all outcomes. There...

Yeah, I think they're posturing in order to slide back and obtain more picks for 2020. If we do move back later into the first round though, I'd...

When I hear the word "intangibles" as it relates to football, I think of things like leadership, work ethic, drive, mental toughness, and...

I think we're going to see a lot more of these deals over the next couple years.

Miami set up a private workout for Haskins after his pro day. Even if it's a smokescreen, it's nice to see that Grier is being open about our...

So far, Grier is putting in some work.

It seems like the beginning of something, this new track we're on.

It may surprise you to know that there's actually a scouting department employed by the team to watch a bunch of tape and try to find talent in...

I think it's just a reminder that talent doesn't have to come exclusively from the first round, even though it is statistically more rare and the...

I do think over the years, the QB position has become so vital that GMs don’t often have the guts to attach their career to less heralded...

Your argument is that’s it’s not really possible for a coach to improve a QBs performance through said coaching? Uhh...

Sorta like hiring a defensive coach when everybody else was looking for the next McVay? Or like how everyone else is trying to get FAs and all...

I think it's unlikely he plays all 32 games, but I can definitely see him being the Day 1 starter in 2020 before handing the reigns over to a...

Not sure which one to respond to. They're both so well thought out.

This signing hints at the type of QB Flores likes. Fitz is a very smart QB. I'm willing to bet that this move not only takes us out of the Kyler...

Exactly. This is the only sensible way to look at the situation. I could be wrong but everything we’ve seen so far points toward Grier and...

You do clearly, in fact, have an agenda and that is to convince others that Kaepernick should not be allowed to play for the dolphins because of...

And what happens if he's simply mediocre? Or bad? With a talent void in other areas combined with a new draft pick void created by trading for...

This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't just make things up when trying to prove a point. 1) You claimed "He's not very good." Kaepernick...

I've seen people on this board lobby to have rapists, murderers, psychopaths, bullies, divas, and domestic abusers play for this team purely in...

How about a mid-late round flyer on a smart QB? I like smart QBs. [MEDIA]

Wanting Murray at 13 and trading up to get him are two completely different animals though. If he falls to 13 and we snag him, it's doubtful many...

I think there's definitely an implication with Rosen that he would be available for cents on the dollar, so it's reasonable to assume if that were...

I can think of a handful of Dolphins teams, for example, that featured QBs less desirable than Fales or Ruddock. Unless, of course, you weren't a...

Exactly. Draft picks don't always work out, so it's a bad idea to blow 4-5 of them on one guy. With our holes, we're better off with more picks,...

Kyler Murray alone isn’t enough to win a super bowl. We’re not in the position philly was when they drafted wentz. We have a lot more holes than...

There would only be 3-4 guys who might possibly see their numbers decline significantly, so that's not something you can't come back from. As much...

I'm sure Tannehill would be devastated to hear this news.

To be fair, our strategy has obviously changed under Grier/Flores. As of 2019 the Dolphins franchise is completely new. There's no history we can...

That's going to be a pass from me dawg.

It will work great...for the first year or two.

What are we going to complain about now that we won't be watching Wake get held every play?

We're making smart, sensible decisions! What year is this?!

You have Ricky ahead of Thomas or Taylor? You're in time out, kid.

I'm so glad we're heading down this path...finally.

Going into the season I don't really care what our record is. I just care about the direction the team is headed. If we lose but Flores has them...

I agree it's not ideal, but when I think of Billy Turner I don't necessarily think of the coaching scheme being the problem. Maybe the Packers saw...

Additionally, culture is often the first thing that needs to change inside a locker room. Often times, we as fans forget that there are issues...

It's easy to assume that every other team is smarter than the Dolphins, but it's not necessarily true. We need to keep perspective on the fact...

Ain't that the truth.

It's not like Madden. There are human factors involved in these decisions. Remember these guys are being hired as employees, not just numbers on a...

Everyone is freaking out, but this is just the beginning. It's going to get really, really bad before it gets better guys. Don't get too invested...

Losing Gore really hits the heart strings for me. One of the best players to ever come out of South Florida. I know he's an older RB, but having...

The game isn't played on paper though, so a PFF rating doesn't tell the whole story. Allen is obviously a strong locker room presence. He clearly...

I thought firing Gase, or any HC, after one of the most injury plagued seasons of all time was short sighted and foolish, but I'm starting to...

I'm also now worried about this. Thanks.

I just thought you could use some more Don Draper in your life.

Maybe thats why everyone likes Kyler Murray!

The "No Fashion League." Coaches should also be allowed to wear suits on the sideline. I'm tired of all the camo hoodies.

Coincidentally that's also how I pick my March madness brackets.

The opinion that the NFL sucks is becoming much more popular, regardless of TV ratings data.

That might soon be the norm.

Basically, if he's on the roster for 2019 then he's going to severely hamper the team in 2020. Because of the way dead money works, if he's not on...

It's also smart business. Teams that are intentionally dishonest to their players have a much harder time acquiring talent.

Too painful.

Says a lot about how the fan base reacted to this season.

Just remember that if we get swept by the Jets.

I wish I knew how to feel about this.

Unfortunately it just doesn't work like that unless you get lucky. A new staff is always way, way behind where the old staff would have been upon...

I think one thing missing is your plan. Are you trying to win in 2019? Is your first goal to win games or is it to develop your system and...

I think you're going to need to embrace the fact that the next two years are going to be tough to stomach. The sooner you do it, the easier it...

I think the team will play hard, but we're most likely going to be gutting the roster over the next year or two. I expect Flores to have them...

We're five minutes into this rebuild and you guys just went from six to midnight over a 5'8 QB.

Sounds to me you might not have enough information about this topic to formulate an opini....or just forge ahead anyway.

Luke Falk looks like Tom Brady. Yeah, I said it. While contemplating the Tannehill cut (which is the right move) I found myself watching some...

The reason it's not done this way is because there are too many variables, and ultimately the only stat that matters is wins. Sometimes the best...

Alright, people keep bringing this up as a legitimate option, so let's finally squash the idea that drafting a QB every year is a good idea. It's...

Grier is obviously the next fall guy, so it was bound to happen, but this is pretty early. Going to be a rough three years.

Can he play QB?

He coached here in 2009-2011 and I believe he was also here more recently such as 2016 or 2017. I heard he's just not a nice guy in general. Rubs...

He's not well respected. He's known to be a jerk. That's why he was fired.

Just a small reminder of what pieces of **** Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey are. They are both psychopaths. Full Article

What do we need a good QB for? You do realize they're blowing it up right? They're not really going to be trying to win a lot of games in the next...

The Bills have hit on some pretty sweet draft picks in the last couple years. He's being hired because of his Patriots experience though, not his...

You're having a hard time believing that a Patriots assistant would be fine with smaller receivers. Just think about that one for a while.

If you, for some reason, are under the impression that this team isn't going to flat out suck for a few years then you're going to have a bad time.

Whenever I watch videos of Flores, I can't help but notice that the people around him are all looking in different directions when he's speaking...

Except for the fact that there's no such thing as a "trick play" in the NFL anymore. Screens, bubbles, reverses, going for it on 4th down and QBs...

You're 100% right that the gameplan changed after Wilson and Grant went down, but that doesn't fit the narrative that Gase is a horrible coach, so...

Exactly like Sean McVay does? Sign me up.

And in your mind the Dolphins are equally as talented as the Rams from a player talent standpoint? Therefore our failures were exclusively the...

We usually see eye to eye, but by your own logic... Injuries took us from 12 wins to 9 wins. Total impact: cost team 3 wins. Coaching took us...

You can't seriously vote for anything other than injuries without having some other motive. We lost 80% of our starting offense at one point.

[MEDIA] So, at the risk of sounding grossly inappropriate, which I swear is not the intention, I can't help but notice that Chris Grier seems to...

Mack is awesome but he wouldn't have really elevated us that much. We still couldn't score any points at the end because our line was so shredded.

Supposedly nobody else is really interested in Richards either. It's basically just us at this point.

Did Fangio kill somebody or something? He's not my first choice but I definitely don't understand why he's been so good for so long and nobody...

Permission denied.

Are you asking me permission?

Stephen Ross, in his own words at the press conference, completely refuted that fact. We know now that Ross did NOT ask Gase to cede control of...

To be fair, during the original press conference, when asked about why he decided to fire Adam Gase, Stephen Ross responded by saying "Adam wants...

Take this scenerio: -Owner of <insert company> fires a collection of upper management. There is now a void above you. -The owner comes into your...

Ross said specifically during his press conference when asked why he fired Adam Gase that Gase "wants to win now". He explained that the 4th year...

Look, there's no blame being placed here. Nobody knows if Gase was right or if Ross was right regarding where to take the franchise in the future....

Dude you're welcome to be as angry at the world as you want on a Sunday afternoon but it's not for me. No clue what you're even attempting to say.

Just because someone is no longer with the franchise, does not make discussing that person futile, especially when that person was our head coach...

I'm confused as to where this stigma came from that Adam Gase just pouted and blamed everyone else. I recall him using the word "we" a lot, and I...

Seems quite clear that the decision on whether or not Adam Gase remained with the Miami Dolphins was, at the end of the day, left up to Adam...

What I'm doing is elevating the things that Ross specifically said. Everything else is merely conjecture. Half of the things that were "reported"...

It's so hard to tell which side of the fence you're on. You really hide your emotions so well.

Ultimately, Rizzi is probably the right call to make, not because he's the best option available but because it makes the most sense for a...

One thing is for sure, ALL of the available options for HC have some serious red flags and/or question marks. None of the candidates are head and...

Why not? I mean, it hasn't worked the last 4-5 times we've switched between the two, but I'm sure it will work this time.

The solution is to not fire everyone in a year where there are no good replacements. If 2019 is a wash anyway, then why not give it one more shot...

Oh I'm glad it's Grier picking. That makes the available candidates WAY better. You're right. I'm sure he'll find the next Shula/Marino this year...

Funny that now Gase is fired, everyone in the media is coming out pretending like they know EVERYTHING about the situation. As of last night,...

Guess this frees up my Sunday afternoons for a few years.

Two years? We've sucked for 35 years. You don't break that cycle by changing coaches every 2-3 years. The team will forever be a joke.

Because logic and reason never enter into the equation. It's an opinion based purely on emotion, not on facts.

You're doing an awful lot of cheering for Miami to lose lately.

I love that people are throwing around that idea that, should we fire Adam Gase, he would immediately become the top candidate around the league,...

Somewhat true? Go ask the Super Bowl champs how easy it is dealing with injuries.

That's fine and all but...who's going to play QB? Or are we just planning on tanking the 2019 season?

Sometimes you just get unlucky. This team, while healthy, looks really good though.

It's getting old. You hate Gase. We get it. Maybe mix it up and sprinkle in some other thoughts every once in a while.

We have a team that is dynamic across all positions and doesn't rely on one person, or one unit, to do all the heavy lifting. But somehow that's a...

No.

I think we just saw how important Jones' run support is.

He may turn out to be one of our greatest draft picks ever.

Three games into the season, it appears that our team identity is: speed. Can't hit what you can't catch!

I absolutely LOVE watching the game, enjoying the win, and then coming on here and reading through all the unbelievable hate being thrown on Gase...

To be fair I've never seen any fan base complain about the refs more than the Patriots, so it's not true that only bad teams complain.

The TD to AJ Derby was such a beautiful play. Great protection by the line obviously, but it looked like Derby at that point was Tannehill's 5th...

It's nice to see Tannehill get some recognition simply because he's been bashed so unfairly in his career and as a reward for coming back so...

Every bus from South Beach is essentially a party bus regardless of where it's headed.

In addition to me knowing absolutely nothing about football, my eyes are clearly also non-functional. Despite what the RT (not LT, but then again...

I didn't write the rules man. The NFL did. I'm just presenting what is listed as the actual definition of holding. I do believe they were written...

This is wholly incorrect information actually. The NFL rules state that holding is defined as follows: Rule 12, Section 1, Article 3: ILLEGAL...

Interesting. I didn't know that having your arm around Cam Wake's neck every play was considered proper technique. Silly me. I must be stupid.

Biggest takeaway for me was that NE once again has the fewest penalties despite their offensive line holding every snap.

I'm sorry dude but the truth hurts. I realize this might be upsetting, but the facts of the matter are very clear: Hard Rock Stadium is a solid 30...

One thing I really like about this crew is how badly they want to be out there. Frank Gore was practically harassing Gase to play in the...

Or maybe not all players develop at the same speed and the coaching staff sees untapped potential that they don't yet want to abandon. But you're...

This is really your best option. Unfortunately, public transportation is virtually non-existent here in Florida, and is basically considered a...

I don't think this offense was designed to be "explosive," so it probably won't be in most games, but that doesn't mean it can't be great. I think...

That's what the Browns are for.

Obviously the Pats have a history of moves like this working out somehow, but this seems a bit like desperation to me.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery.

If you think Josh Gordon would fit into this locker room, you haven't been paying attention for the last 4 months.

Our play calling is really anything but conservative. The team is just so versatile now that sometimes we lose the flow and then it feels sluggish...

At some point you just see what you want to see. That doesn't make things better, or right. I get that you don't want it to be true for whatever...

Yeah it's the ground's fault that the dude got knocked out. Let's blame the ground for being too hard and pretend like Branch is a good dude.

For reference, this is what it looks like when a guy gets knocked out before he hits the ground. [MEDIA] That looks like a normal block to you?...

Damn, our fan base is slimy. When did it become ok to purposely hurt people? Branch wasn't just trying to block the guy. He was trying to knock...

What you need to understand about 75% of the people who hate Tannehill is that they rarely watch the play of other QBs to keep things in...

100% sarcasm. Yes, Branch reportedly yelled "body bag" directly at Lewan as he was being escorted out of the stadium by medical staff. To me that...

You're right. He probably destroyed the guy on accident. I mean it's not like he called the guy a "body bag" as he was being escorted off the...

Branch intentionally tried to hurt another player. He went in there looking for blood and he literally knocked the guy out cold before he hit the...

I loved Tannehill's pocket presence all night. He was shifting, sliding and stepping up incredibly well. He moved better in the pocket than I've...

News flash: ESPN is the TV version of clickbait. Their business model relies on creating controversy to drive viewership. As such, their content...

There's some real disgusting fandom going on in this thread. It's not even remotely tolerable to say that dirty play is acceptable so long as it's...

Can you imagine how psychologically deflating it would be for the defense too? Getting stops on 3rd down, only to watch the drive continue on 4th...

I've always been intrigued by the prospect of what an owner/coach in the today's NFL would look like. As in, some billionaire's son grows up to be...

It's amazing to me that a guy like this had a much longer career than a guy like Kaepernick. How completely dysfunctional are we as a society that...

I stopped reading at "Trade Parker". For what? A bag of peanuts? This isn't Madden bro.

Dude...

We should definitely fire any HC who doesn't win the Super Bowl every single year. I mean, that's essentially what every successful team does so...

Love all these guys who think every other GM is a complete moron. "You'll give me Parker and it will only cost me a second round pick? Sign me...

Aside from taking us to the playoffs, with a backup QB, for the first time in about a hundred years. But yeah other than that he's proven...

Nobody is saying not to run the ball ever, but it's very clearly not Gase's intention to be a ground and pound team. The original idea presented...

It's really easy to point to the Super Bowl champions and say "Hey, they did that well. It must be their secret. Let's copy it." The problem with...

Ground and pound no longer gives your team the best chance to win. That's been happening for two decades now.

You haven't been paying attention to football for the last 15 years.

What a horrible roster. Good luck to whoever takes on that shipwreck!

I kinda like this Tannehill kid. He's more NFL ready.

Because everyone knows that once you get the roster you want as a HC, you should win the Super Bowl every year. There are no other variables...at all.

This is confirmation that Fitz was indeed the best pick.

NFL Intern: Hey, we'd like to get a quote from you for your team slogan. Fins Intern: Uh, ok. Go Fins. NFL Intern: Got it. Fins Intern: What's...

I love Landry, but he's not worth that much money. Even if they feed him an absurd number of targets he won't provide the production necessary to...

He literally doesn't blink.

I don't really think they've been waiting to do anything. It just takes time to turn over a large portion of a 53 man roster without completely...

Look, you're more than welcome to be upset at the fact that we didn't go out and spend FA money that we didn't have on big name free agents, but...

Landry simply wanted too much money. There's really nothing more beyond that. As for the moves with Wilson and Amendola, I agree that it feels...

Just so we're looking at both sides, it takes more than one team to make a trade. We can't assume Landry would have garnered significantly more...

To be fair, most FAs sign for deals that other teams wouldn't pay. That's sorta how it works.

I think this FO is going to be around a while. Either we let them ride out the Tannehill years or if they're going after a new QB this year then...

Man, a 4th and 7th is a tough pill to swallow. I know he wants a mega contract but damn, that's not a lot of compensation for a pro bowl receiver,...

I was livid when Ross hired Tannenbaum, but I have to admit he's doing much better for the Fins than he did for the Jets. He's not great, but he's...

I need a glass of scotch just to get through this. It reads like a 3rd grade report on the history of candy.

Let's be honest, Wake was an amazing player for many years and he's one of the Dolphins best decisions ever...but he's also getting old.

I think Suh is definitely the kind of player that makes everyone else around him much better. He is double-teamed on literally every single play...

In other news, the sky is blue.

Never has there been a post so undeserving of a bump.

The rift between them is very real, but Belichick isn't going anywhere. I doubt at this point in his career he wants to rebuild a team. His system...

The real problem is his arm strength has deteriorated significantly over the last two years, and it was never that strong to begin with. Hard to...

I'm sorry but if this issue is in any way confusing for you, you don't hate the Pats anywhere near as much as you should. Go Birds.

He's not really capable of playing even one game anymore. His age is destroying any talent that existed 2-3 years ago.

I’ll give everyone a tl;dr for this post: Ajayi caught a pass in Philly and that is an indication that Gase is a horrible coach. Drake is...

Probably BS...but if there's any coach in the league who is evil enough to trade away Tom Brady, it's Bill Belichick.

Yeah, you need to watch Eli when he's not playing in the Super Bowl and then come back here and try to make this argument.

I got the distinct impression from those tweets that they're looking for Loggains for the offensive line/running game coach. Could be wrong but...

What's with all the speculation on filling positions that aren't vacant? Burke is our DC. Until that changes, all you're doing is looking to bash...

He definitely played like a kid who’s never played in an NFL game before but I did not get the sense that his arm was holding him back at all. He...

Kenyan Drake’s moves! [IMG]

How many other teams have had a coach as good as Shula? Zero. How many Super Bowls have been won since Shula retired? Twenty. If your only...

Coming from a guy who told me he'd rather argue with me in person...that's an odd conclusion to have reached.
