This topic is academic though, 1 mil in cap space.
Well, you and Brad are wrong, he just can never admit when he's wrong, and your just stupid, lol.
Semantics.
In the context of this discussion, 100% capacity is maximum output, so the question, "what is the maximum capacity of light", is quite a legit...
These are simple questions that you just don't know the answer to, what is the maximum capacity for light? easy, the brightest thing in the...
Distance, atmospheric conditions, geological formations etc, defeats light, sound and radio waves, not to mention, they are only as strong as the...
It will eventually wear out Brad, and if you run it at 100% capacity, it will wear out sooner, not to mention some have more glitches than others,...
Stringfellow reminds me of Featherstone. [IMG]
Clutch also means to grasp tightly. In the early 1900's, "in a pinch" and "in the clutch" emerged right around the same time, in baseball, a guy...
No one plays at peak potential all the time, not even machines can do that.
Well, we have to allow for learning curve, his first 2 playoffs he wasn't good, ever since he's been one of the best playoff QBs in the league, so...
You can add Flacco to that, like you said, take out his first 2 seasons, and he scores higher than these guys maybe. Flacco has 25 TDs and 10...
Actually Dan, it was the "jumping on a grenade = being in the NFL" analogy that made no sense, it's all about thinking under pressure and making...
Dan, being in the NFL for NFL players is normal, like being a soldier is for a soldier, not everyone can be in the NFL, just like not everyone can...
The dude is a load, he can neutralize an OG for a sec or 2, he occupies space on the D side of the ball and can rock ball carriers. vs the run...
This is where your stance fails, if someone can succumb to the pressure, then obviously, someone can rise to the pressure, as I was saying, you...
There's a problem with that though, as guys who have a tendency to choke feel the pressure more, and conversely, clutch guys feel it less. The on...
No Dan, he still would be Jay Cutler, just like Ben would still be successful if he was drafted by a bad team, like P Rivers, bad team shmad team,...
I see it as 11 years of teams making a mistake, in case you hadn't noticed, Cutler never panned out in those 11 years, he's played his entire 11...
He just turned the ball over too much.
He also earned a starting job back in '11.
I liked that pick a lot.

Isn't this exactly what I just said, lol. I am just trying to clarify that only 2 games are scheduled BECAUSE they are equal placed teams, we do...
It's technically only 2 scheduled games vs other equal placed teams as we play an entire AFC div. Schedule's are, 6 div games, 4 games vs...
Well yes, if we lose talent we can get more space, but then they have to be replaced, as far as restructures, Suh can't be restructured any...
RM is a run only LB at this point, he's still good at that, but that's it, a run down specialist, but he'd be pretty cheap.
Actually the Dolphins parting with Misi was a rumor, he's on IR.
We're actually over the projected cap next year, we've done too much of that already and it's bitting us in the butt next year, Suh gets 19 mil...
You can't say Gus didn't have his head in the game, lol, sorry, couldn't resist. You also got the Davis brothers mixed up, but I think we've all...
That's a good idea, he also knows that he isn't what he was, he'd sign for a reasonable amount. He's only good vs the run however.
Remember years ago when Bill Gramatica actually ended his season on a celebratory injury? They definitely would put him celebration protocol now.
Salary cap is the issue, only 5 mil left.
Lets hope he doesn't have to go in celebration protocol.
I'm like BPK on this, I appreciate the work you put in, but will reserve judgement of your football acumen, lol, but you attitude is A+! Good to...
Perhaps he was putting the #4 WR position on lock down? There's the comp between him and Grant for the 4 spot, which the 2 of them have been...
Godchaux was better than JP in the game vs the Falcons, and he looked good, while JP looked like JP, a back up. This JP experiment failing really...
I had actually forgotten myself until he brought it up, then I was like "oh yeah, he was suspended at the same time DJ was suspended".
He was suspended for 4 games because of it back in '14.
You seem to be talking about Reshad as if he's a young player, waiting to be coached up, but he's nearly 30 and been in the league for 7 years and...
I'm not sure what you think pro athletes do, but if you think you work out as much as RT, I can't argue with you.
This "side" discussion isn't about RT directly, it's about the relevance of a test done with avg joes to pro athletes, that Brad brought into the...
That probably wouldn't change who played ST though, you can't just throw bodies on the field, they have to be able to play, expanding the roster...
None of the daily activities were pro sports, I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make, and I'm not being a smart ***, lol, I was just...
It's actually 46 I believe, but here's how you want to look at it, it's a 46 man active roster and a 53 man season roster. The league allows 53...
I read the report.
These people are not going out and putting massive stress on their knees, so no Brad, it doesn't compare, it's not giving pertinent data, pros...
However, case studies on avg joes aren't comparable to pros either, and I did read the study, it also said that those who got the surgery after 2...
Except, this study wasn't about professional athletes, a 2 year study also isn't really getting to the "next year" point, athletes have to play...
No cap hit for a trade, but NO doesn't have the money.
We have to remember, Kwon wasn't a starter, he's an unproven rookie 2nd round pick. There is no such thing as a 2nd round rookie LB that doesn't...
I don't know about Suh, but Wake played ST as a rookie, perhaps beyond, AB still plays on STs, and he's widely regarded as the best WR in the NFL....
This would seem more like an "RT" decision, regardless of MM, JC or any future draft picks, this comes down to, do you bet on RT. A couple...
Many abused people don't admit it for one reason or another, or on the other hand, people will vindictively say they were assaulted when they...
lol, but I get why they signed him, and I don't disagree with it, it was the best of a group of poor options to try and get another starter...
He played in 16 games as a rookie, I know he nicked up his shoulder, but I was talking about losing a high rookie for the year, we lost Odrick in...
And only 21 TDs, and he is well known for making those TOs at bad times, which amplifies the TO problem, no one is crying in Chi because Cutler is...
This really sucks, we've actually been pretty lucky with not losing high drafted rookies, you see it happen somewhere every year, but it's been a...
What we need is a SLB, I seriously doubt that Kwon was going to start at MLB, and have my doubts about him ever being a MLB, OLB may very well be...
Just calm down and reign it in bro, there are plenty of starters that play on STs, especially young LBs, guys big enough to block that can also...
I'll give him all the credit he deserves, he's a gamer, no doubt about it, and a leader, but winning one playoff game doesn't make you a better...
What the alleged victim says isn't really important, everyone keeps siting what she said, but to the police that makes little difference, if they...
There were plenty of teams interested if he moved to TE, many teams contacted him about that proposition and he had to publicly say to everyone...
We played a lot of bad O's last year, we will need a LARGE upgrade to become avg.
Oh yes it can, Cutler is a TO machine.
I think it's a balance, they don't want that distraction from a player who's not worth the trouble, if TT was a competent QB he'd have a job in...
The basic problem here is that Tim Tebow never won a playoff game, he was on a team that won a playoff game. Which team is greater, those Broncos...
It happens so often now, that you don't even notice it anymore, Evander Holyfield is the athlete that really changed things when he would say,...
What about Reggie White? he was an acting minister, hence the nick name, "Minister of Defense", and these guys with their prayer circles after the...
That to me, is Cutler in a nutshell, I don't think he's ever cared about football except for what it could do for him, it's like a clock in and...
Jags aren't letting him walk.
It's been a different story since MM got here, he has an 88.8 rating as a Dolphin, about a seasons worth of stats, and the bulk of these stats...
If MM goes down, at least we have someone halfway decent, beggars can't be choosers after all, but we have to hope MM makes it through the season...
Those weren't his fault, and it happens, RT had 2 fumbles vs Balt and 3 the following week vs Ari, that's 5 in 2 weeks.
I think it's an expensive insurance policy, I doubt JC is going to be expected to start the season. To come off a long layoff in which he wasn't...
I think if JT played now, they would make him a TE, even at the earlier football stages, there being such a focus on the TE position these days,...
I think Gase is looking for a capable back up for MM, I think Gase has a lot of confidence in MM and I think he'd be asking Cutler to take a back...
Could just be circumstances.
It's ability on the field, not time served that counts, just saying.
Cutler is like the longest running bust QB ever. Matt Moore > Cutler
If trusting the knee wasn't an issue before, I'm afraid it may be a forgone conclusion now. What crappy luck for RT.
Why would you want him to come back? A rookie with no training camp or preseason joining the team week 9 isn't going to help. There doesn't seem...
I like ours, I prefer colored helmets, but that looks nice. As far as the others, real hit or miss to me, some look great, Cincy, others way...
Ricky is correct, if he unretires he's still a Jag.
Edelman just signed a 2 year extension for 11 mil total, 7 mil guaranteed, JL want's more than that per year. I think JL is a better version of...
It's about the attention you merit by the other team that dictates #1 WR, Dirty brought up AB working from the slot, he also gets it done vs #1...
We're all big Landry fans, we all value the same things about him, I don't have to into them, we all know them by heart. Traditionally, the...
I get what you're saying, Landry is tough like these guys, but the comparison kind of ends there except that they did all play STs and took hand...
This is what many of us have been saying, he's good, but he's not that good, he's not a #1 WR, regardless of how many targets/catches, he's a...
That was freakin funny, no lie, thanks! :up:
I have to kind of disagree D, your "FTR" comment was politically motivated, if not about politics in and of itself, it was choosing a side....
Lol, he said DeVante, Still's and Parker, that's just 2 guys.
That story does not make your friend look good bro, just saying.
I predict this thread gets traveling papers. :1eye:
I hadn't heard they were using him in the slot, and I agree, that wouldn't be a good move, he wasn't good in the slot in college, and he shies...
You've got to have the horses though, Landry will help any CB trying to cover the slot but he can't take a C and make him a B. The slot CB's in 3...
If he starts all year then I'm sure he'll be around 4K, pretty much everyone who starts all year does get around 4K, 4K is not the bench mark it...
Yeah, 5.5 mil is still owed, and I don't think they can get the signing bonus back, .5 mil next year, unless he retires, because I believe you...
I think he was handled wrongly last year, you just let this guy attack the LOS, that's what he does best, he should be part of a run package.
I think that Misi being out has been a big deal because of lack of talent at LB, so that it's hit harder, and I think that's where much of the...
I remember hearing that both guys were getting the SC's.
Do we really think it's "proper" to put RT's knee and break in the same sentence? :angel:
Just think, you get to see the Dolphins and a frozen wasteland at the same time :up: Also, if anyone asks you if you've ever been to the arctic...
Lol, take it easy guys, they drafted his replacement for criminies sake, and when healthy the guy is a solid LB, believe me our run D would have...
That's not possible however, how could it be possible that the one player besides the QB that touches the ball on every down is the least...
The contract we gave Suh was a mistake, the restructure was a bigger mistake.
Pouncey is, but they aren't team organized.
I agree 100%, that time frame he was the best imo, QB's started avoiding him like the plague, Sanders is the best cover corner I've ever seen,...
During Madison's peak years, he was a top 5 CB, and he's also my favorite DB, he's underrated.
You have a great gift for rhyme.
Well, it really doesn't have to be ripping them a new one, but there's times when you have to tell a guy a hard thing. Sometimes you have a guy,...
Oh good, so they don't need a "Miracle Max" pill just yet, but we could still use a holocaust cloak for Suh.
In theory and in nearly any other application I agree, but the QB has to be the leader of the offense, he is in charge of the offense so he's...
You keep using that word, I do not think it means, what you think it means.
I seriously doubt he gets signed by us this year, he has an unrealistic vision of his value, he want's to get paid top dollar, and he just flat...
Just being honest here, but our D was not chicken salad, unless you're not a fan of chicken salad, lol.
and I mean it!
Well, I was just glad it was no one to be trifled with.
Steeler nation is always interesting, back when the steel industry was at it's peak Pitt was a huge city, but then they started closing all the...
Yeah, same here, and I was also worried about who the other guy was, Parker, X, Thomas, so I was pretty relieved to see it was no one of consequence.
I'm not sure how Gase can come to that conclusion since he's never had one without the other. I don't see either as indispensable, but Landry's...
Like you said at the top, points are greater than yds, we were 25th in passing TDs allowed, while being 13th in rushing TDs allowed.
He got a beast contract because he was a beast, you keep trying to insinuate that he was like JP, JP is fighting to keep a spot on the roster, DG...
Lol, fair enough.
Yeah, he got signed to a 50 mil contract 17 years ago because he sucked, lol.
I'm sorry, but what a bad analogy. He's one of the top 3, on a ship that's the captain, the 1st mate and the pilot/sailing master, so he was...
Caroo and Misi are locks, Misi's money is guaranteed, and the cost of Caroo, not to mention he was one of the stars of the mini's, supposedly he's...
Thread title? Just saying.
That's cool, we just differ on his worth, but we are both big Juice fans so it's all good.
Yeah, me and my friends called TimBo and DG, Pinky and the Brain, lol.
Well you're making a lot of assumptions on whats "better", because they haven't been proven, RB isn't better, it's the same, TE? That remains to...
I have no clue, it makes no sense.
25th in passing TDs allowed, I'd say that was a problem.
I wrote a post on this years ago, about when you have a lot of "if's", well that translates into "iffy". What you can't count on is all your...
"Right now he and Phillips aren't that far apart at either level." This is what your argument was, and it's not true, plain and simple, on the...
Were you saying the same thing about Wallace? Dansby? Ellerbe? That whatever they're paid is what they were worth?
Deep threat speed WR's like KS are notorious for inconsistent production, the 40 catches and 9 TDs is not at all likely to happen again this year,...
Pittsburgh is easily better.
If he catches 40 passes for 3 TDs will you still think so?
Well lets go back to what you originally said, that DG = JP, which is false, the article you posted has Spriggs saying how good he was and the...
As we well know, what a player can get on the market is not always = to his actual value, see Mike Wallace, and imo we will see it again with...
How much does Suh get rotated out? If you are really good, you get rotated less, which was the case for Gardener, JP gets rotated out because of...
How did he last 6 years here? Why was he always the starter? Why was Zach constantly praising him? The only reason he wasn't resigned was due to...
I don't remember that, I remember him being a beast, and I remember JJ loving DG, those 2 kept Zach clean, and they got constant praise from JJ...
DG had the same knock as JP coming out of college, inconsistent and lack of effort, but at the pro level he was much better, where with JP it...
Gardener however didn't struggle like JP once he got to the pro level, him and Bowens were a good tandem.
I disagree, he's fun to watch, but he is not a high impact player, you need to get in the EZ more than 4 times a year to deserve that money imo.
My problem, I think JP is the least likely candidate for stepping up, however I agree he would have a huge impact if he did, but I would focus on...
If the team doesn't think Landry is worth 12 mil, then it makes zero sense to tag him at 15 mil, because what if you cant trade him? No, you let...
Well, he will get all of TC and PS to work with the team and learn the D, then he'll have 8 weeks to study, so knowing the D shouldn't be a...
Well when data doesn't meet with what is a know fact, obviously the data is wrong, which as you know, happens more times than it's right. It's...
Again, you contradict yourself with Brady, he is on a great team that would win 11 games without him, so how is it he gets all this credit for...
See when you site Brady, you are contradicting yourself, why is he so high, because he's on a great team, well then, why is he so high? You are...
I understand Brad, and this is good work, but this is expected wins, *based on QB rating, it's not expected wins of the team. Because of Rodgers...
The arrest ended up being 2 strikes, DUI, and drugs, and as I pointed out earlier, as per the CBA there has to be a 1st time where there is no...
RT has been very consistent with his TO's, fum= 9, 9, 10, 10, 9, INT= 13, 17, 12, 12, 12.
Also, the 1st time you fail a test, their is no suspension, you get put on the random testing list.
What I don't see here Brad is the state of the team each player plays on, because that's the only real way to give out expected wins. For...
Well, the time of the suspension tells all, 1st time you go on a list, 2nd time is 4 games, 3rd time can be 8 games or a full season.
Well, this is the 3rd time he got busted, how are you going to get the benefit of the doubt when you're a recidivist.
How did you determine expected wins?
He could have appealed, he chose not to, you have a limited time to appeal.
The real question though, is he adding to the win total? How much is his spark worth? The team won't fall apart without him, he's not a scorer, I...
He either applied for and lost an appeal, or he took this suspension, either way it can't be changed.
Even the phrasing was off, "if RT was in the right system", well, if he has to be in the right system, then right off the bat he can't be AR,...
Actually that would be '14 and '15, where the total would be 20, but it's splitting hairs, 3 season 9 fumbles, 2 seasons 10 fumbles, he quite...
I agree with you in principle, but not in the particulars. Eli is more clutch than Peyton, so I would take Eli over Peyton if I was starting a team.
Wins are a part of it, the better the QB, the better your chances of winning, but wins should be at least commensurate with team skill, if not,...
Why is 4 relevant? RT has played for 5 years. After Rodgers 1st 5 years starting, the only people left that felt Favre was better, had the last...
Those are career numbers for Peyton, Brady's career numbers are 98.1 at home and 96.3 on the road, a 108.9 rating in domes, a 100.4 rating under...
We're just looking at the last 2 years.
If any team in the AFC is going to be better than the Pats, it's the Steelers, they will flirt with history on O this year, so I like that you're...
Then it would be wise to let him walk, unfortunately.
Carr is an exception, 3 years accrued and over 25 years of age(26), and Jarvis is 24, his money is maxed out for this year. Per the CBA, drafted...
I all honesty, I think you'd be better off wishing for this with one of the late draft picks from this year, because I think the JP story is...
You can add fumbles to the TO list, RT has 19 and TT has 13, and RT played in fewer games and runs less. Stats can be misleading, but we're...
Actually Landry can't make any more money this season because of the rookie salary cap, if he signed an extension the benefits of that extension...
These are mechanisms for determining avgs, but we are interested in the stats of one man, Peyton has home and away stats in domes or with roofs....
This is all good stuff, but only Peyton's stats in and out of dome are relevant, and he has a 99.1 rating in a dome or with a roof, and a 94...
I have to agree with JD, post season performance knocks Peyton off the summit, he was just as likely to be the reason you lose as win, and most of...
OMG! and I missed it??
As I have referenced a few times recently, 09 was looking promising, Sparano was riding a high wave, I'm just wary because there is an eery...
Produce a winning football franchise and I'm a fan, I don't trust him yet.
Total realignment should eliminate the AFC south; AFCN NE, NY, Buf, Pitt AFCE Miami, Balt, Jac, Tenn AFC Midwest Cin, Cle, Ind, KC AFCW Den,...
True, true, but, Miami is an EC mecca, it's the pinnacle of EC resort cities, it's synonymous with the EC, if you polled world wide, 5 US EC...
I see a lot of people saying that geographically speaking we should be in the south, but, we are no farther south than we are east so I'd say it...
I've actually spent a great deal of time imagining that, lol.
Sorry to go OT.
Imagine our 120 mil $ DT getting injured playing FB, that wouldn't go over well. My favorite Fridge memory is when Dwight Stevenson, with his...
You're talking about 2 years, so that doesn't prove your point.
LL went in back in the early 90's.
You are glossing over the fact that most QBs threw a lot of INTs at that time, 20 INTs was common, and your analogy of Eli was wrong, regardless....
That story makes Shula look pretty bad, pathetic actually, if true, because they won that SB, and it was a blocked kick, maybe he should have...
Does it? in 16 Eli was top 10 in 1 out of the 3, 15, 2 out of 3, 14, 2 of 3, 13, 0 of 3, 12, 1 0f 3, 11, 3 of 3, 10, 2 0f 3, 09, 2 of 3, 08, 1...
Lets hope Gase is the juju we need to break the chain.
What about the "leaving the Orange bowl" theory?
Well, lets look at the era, 87 he was 2nd in yds and TDs, 4th in rating, because back in 1987 26 TDs was upper echelon, 88 he led the league in...
Dan threw for 30 TDs 4 times, SY only twice, same as Jeff Garcia, so it's kind of an empty stat, and those 4 years SY led the league are the only...
Totally forgot that.
Actually I think both are likely, but we'll have to see how Kwon progresses during TC.
That's what I meant as well.
Well most of his salary this year is guaranteed, so I seriously doubt that they will cut a healthy Misi, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he...
Zach deserves it, and will get in, 7 PBs and 5 APs and massive stats. I'm surprised Nick hasn't gotten in yet, 8 PBs and 5 APs, he needs someone...
Why won't Misi play again?
Well we didn't have such a tough schedule in '09 either, the problem was lack of a very weak schedule. What happened last year should be paid...
I don't have expectations, the last time we played a schedule that weak was in '08, and just as in '08 we were totally outclassed in the playoffs,...
lol, kinda funny, but the truth is we'll be lucky if any of our CBs end up as good as Dre Bly.
Just let me know if your thinking about a shuffle board, I'll even leave out my crack pot theory about them just being a waste of good cutting...
This is all much ado about nothing really, Suh didn't plant a Dolphin flag, so to speak, in fact, all he did was emphatically prove Shazier's...
Clayton was a very good WR though, I agree that most of the guys had pretty wildly inflated numbers playing with Dan, but Clayton was a baller....
I understand what you're saying, it's correct in it's theory, but not in practical application. To finish a game of connect 4 you have to connect...
That's interesting about '78, because they never really enforced the 5 yd rule, or at least not for long, by '83 when Dan was drafted you would...
I wouldn't sign Revis unless he was willing to play FS.
I feel like I have to clear something up here, there is a deadline on negotiations, there's no deadline on signing a contract, if they offer him...
You'll get no argument from me.
I think right now, you got to give it up to AB, last 4 years, 481 rec, 6300yds, 43 TDs and a 69% catch rate. That is wildly productive.
Suh really didn't say anything everybody doesn't already know, "they can be beaten, you just have to play an almost perfect game", lol.
I think the cap is a huge factor now, last week I took a peek at the cap and was surprised to see we are only 3-4 mil under the cap next year,...
The bugaboo for ping pong is ceiling height, low ceiling basements don't work, so if you are doing a combo the pool table light can become the...
2 things right off the bat show this table doesn't belong to a pool player, #1, the decal, lol, actually those pool table images are distracting...
I think they would like to roll over as much $ as they can, as it sits there is only about 4 mil in cap space for next year and they still want to...
I have to kind of disagree on the meatloaf, there are 2 reasons that raw is used; 1) onions enhance the flavor of beef 2) the water in the onions...
Bingo, a solid player we gave up on way too quickly.
Everybody is different, for me it was like a self preservation coping mechanism, I didn't land on fractured fan syndrome, fractured fan syndrome...
I'm hoping Asiata makes a big push, I like his game, but I do think he's probably more suited to RG, but I do think he ends up starting for us at...
I'll answer this question, and I think that it's not only me. From 1972-2009 I did exactly that, but 2001-2009 is the problem, and in 2009 is...
Precisely.
I see 6 ex Dolphins on the list, who else can see the "6th" Dolphin? EDIT; I'm not counting IAQ, he obviously isn't a real FA.
I think JO may very well start if we signed him, the other DT spot isn't on lockdown, that's for sure.
My theory? I think people hear about and try the old par-boil trick with chicken, which does actually work, then they think they can do it with...
They taught me that EVERYONE is a potential Kia owner...
Auspices? lol, let me guess, you're going to be taking auguries next?
Why, what, you don't like watching all that beautiful meat turn zombie gray?
The season will start with a lot of hope.
It's funny sometimes, what can put us "on cloud 9", many hours of effort for a few moments of bliss, but in those few moments, it's like a perfect...
Well, it's kind of a double edged sword, because the meat is more flavorful cooked over charcoal. I actually did the Pepsi challenge on this with...
That's how I normally do it, though you need a fairly accurate temp gauge to keep it low, that's the real key, you want it to cook at...
Well, I have no acceptance speech ready... lol, thanks though, I've never won the internet before!
I know you weren't calling him a liar Dan, I mentioned in a comment that I know you were just trying to say that it was misleading, but the...
For a lot of us BBQ guys, it's really almost a spiritual thing, it's so good for the soul, like when I decide to do pulled pork, the excitement...
I don't think this thread actually got derailed, or maybe it would be more accurate to say that it was a natural derailment, because I think the...
I understand what Ricky's saying, because I'm pretty much the same, I like to cook, so I like doing all the extra work, but the crock pot is a...

This is not true, I'm not steering anything in any direction, I just pointed out that it was a flawed analogy, Miamiron did not lie, that is a...
I was simply stating that Dan's was a flawed analogy, Miamiron did not purposefully lie as Dan's analogy suggested.
This isn't really relevant to my comment though, Miamiron did not make up a lie, as Dan's analogy indicated.
You're using w/l record to show us how good RT is when he has good OL play, but you are also the guy who keeps on saying that w/l record is a team...
That's not a fair comparison Dan, Miamiron stated a fact and you're equating it to a bald faced lie.
The Phins "Dolphin safe" Backyard BBQ Barometer, "gentleman, light your chimney starters!" That would actually be pretty dang awesome.
Lol, I see what you did there, I wonder who else did?
Caveman style, prehistoric prophylactics, silver skin comes in handy when you run out of pterosaur wings.
I use my Weber kettle grill for smoke cooking, without the actual smoker attachment, just put the charcoal on one side and the meat on the other...
The thing is that great players don't usually equate to good coaches because they usually have something special that sets them apart, something...
Lol, your asking the wrong guy, that was the official colors of the original Miami Dolphins, aqua and coral.
I'm not disputing anything you're saying, it's all true, but this was about white and black on uni's, which would fall under pigment. The white...
This is also pertaining to light though Brad, not pigment.
That is as it pertains to light, it's the opposite in pigment, and the uni's are under the pigment part.
We didn't go from good to terrible, but we went from above avg to below avg. Lucas' career pretty much speaks for itself though, it never even...
Yeah, my bad, I looked at the wrong numbers, but it doesn't change anything, Lucas was bad, he has 280 completions in his entire NFL career bad,...
Fiedler was a 77 rated passer and Lucas was 55. Big difference there.
Jayjay's on field accomplishments didn't ring in fantasy as well, as Brad mentioned, bottom line is that if he was a starter for your team, he was...
On the bolded part, I don't think there's any way to make an argument that RT was above avg last year, 19-12 TD/INT ratio is way below avg and is...
Rodgers is the only QB that I'll admit was better than Dan, I think Rodgers is the GOAT.
Dude, are you kidding? A poster said "if Dilfer can win a SB than so can RT", and I said, the 2000 Ravens are a bad example because they could...
lol
You're going so far off point, this is about Trent Dilfer winning a SB, he only played on the 2000 Ravens.
lol, whatever dude.
What about Cam Wake and OV? lol Dion was a bust from jump street, it wasn't because he didn't ask JT to show him the ropes, it's because of a...
The Ravens had one good year on D? Lol, are you absolutely serious? have you been paying attention to the Ravens? How about between 1999 and...
You're saying that the current Sea D, blows away the 2000 Ravens D?
True, most teams that win the SB have good D's, but the 2000 Ravens is beyond generational, probably the best ever, and they also had a dominant...
First off, that just looks much better, do you think it would look like hunting if his tail was up? lol, and secondly, did you know that is also...
The real problem is, it took perhaps the greatest D of all time and one of the few 2000yd RBs in NFL history to get him a ring, and it wasn't an...
The problem with this Dan is that Fahey is a known Dolphin fan, and this is absolutely a fan driven article, and isn't actually close to the truth.
He's not making avg QB money, he's on the high side.
It's all about the TDs, lol, but it's true, and of course TD/INT ratio. If you're going to throw 12 INTs, then you need 30 TDs to balance that...
He has a very high ceiling.
Your going on an assumption that isn't true though, the upward position isn't indicative of attack, and it breaks with tradition, and to humans,...
To me, I see a guy dripping in coverage abilities, real shutdown CB potential with real ballskills, zone may be a learning process for him, and...
My biggest problems with the new uni's is #1, the tail going up and #2 colors are too light. Imo, it looks weak and soft, which is why JJ changed...
Personally, I think Tank will be our best CB, maybe not this year as Madman suggests, but I think he's got the stuff.
Yeah, that was bad. Hogan I'm not as concerned about, he'd just be depth here.
I haven't chimed in because I didn't watch any tape on him during draft time, and after I'm burnt out on watching tape, and the 1 vid...
I doubt he'd sign a back ups contract, and that's all we could muster, after paying Kiko, signing Timmons and drafting Raemac with Misi still on...
You're right, it doesn't prove anything, except that QB ratings over 95 have a better chance of coming from a playoff team, which is all he's...
I think the worry was a short career, so not out of the woods yet. However, many RBs have short careers so...
I think 25 got this a little wrong, I think it was attached to 3rd down, Bess was an insane converter. I remember BB talking about it, game...
I would take Eli over Peyton in the playoffs, a lot of playoff exits on poor Peyton games, and not many memorable moments either, his big games...
I was defending his stance too, lol, I think you misinterpreted what I meant.
The thing is Pauly, you can't really have a leader unless he believes in himself, believing in ones self, is confidence, no one is going to follow...
I actually see you post a lot of positive things about RT, you are clearly a fan of RT, that shouldn't be a question to anyone, my 2 cents.
Well then doesn't that actually prove that if people can and do have different mental abilities, ceilings/floors, that some are just naturally...
I have to disagree Pauly, first on what "Americans consider leadership", because I don't think there is a stock answer, and also I think you are...
Leadership is always from a group of other traits, drive, confidence and responsibility being nearly unilateral, but the way you can really tell...
So I understand, you're saying that people all have equal mental abilities?
To me, MM's most impressive feat as a Dolphin was righting the ship in '11, a rudderless, winless team that just fired the HC, and he rallied them...
People keep mentioning Landry not holding out, and maybe my memory isn't right on this, but I don't think anyone has ever held out in the final...
That's totally true, and I think RT's is a fairly rare case.
Yes, you can certainly make the case that there are mitigating circumstances with RT.
The great ones however, don't take until year 6 to break out, while RT hasn't had a bad year since his rookie year, he hasn't had a breakout year...
Well Allen, TJ McDonald and Tank are new, Allen is a back up for Jones and will probably hold down the fort until TJ's suspension is over, so 2 of...
Right, my bad.
I won't judge him like that, if he plays well.
This is true, but you have to have the right guy, this year should tell us if we do.
The tag is 2 first round picks I believe.
I agree except for the tag, because then you are paying him top 5 money, and once the tag runs out he can't be traded, he'll turn into a...
Bess did start smoking like he was Rastafari, lol, but it was after his neck injury that basically ended his career.
This isn't a rusty and learning O though, RT ran organized practices and everyone showed up, it is a rusty and learning D though. I'm not...
True, but it's a double edged sword, the WRs and QB don't have to worry about being hit either. I'm not worried at this point, but I would have...
I agree on Hartline, but not Bess, I think he's extremely similar to Bess, better but not by much imo.
This year however the D is rife with new players while the O is predominantly the same and they have been working with each other this offseason,...
I like it.
That tag will cost about 15 mil, he'd need a huge season I think for them to pay that tag price.
Gregrich will always have a spot in Fin fan hearts for keeping us out of the dreaded "winless season" category, and also for the miraculous butt...
Yeah, they should only vote on players they played against that year, that shouldn't be difficult for them to do.
You are in fact changing the vernacular, "knows it as well as anyone" means he knows it as well as anyone, lol, which means to the highest degree,...
You can't change common vernacular Dan, that is an extremely common term for saying he knows it well, but leaving that aside, Gase then goes on to...
This is the sentence that prefaced Gase's comment; "Gase credited Weddle, the former Charger who even faced Gase last year when he was the Bears'...
Well I read that article and Gase didn't said that RT had to correct other players too much, Gase said; "It made things a little easier than just...
Mad respect for Landry around the league.
I'm not sure how to get those stats, but the hurry up O was put away early on, they still ran the 2 min O, so they still had a "no huddle" O, but...
To open the 2nd half vs the Pats we went into hurry up, and it resulted in a TD.
However, the fact remains that he brought it back with MM. Was it the rest of the O catching up, or was it the QB? Either could be the case, but...
The thing with this is that what is the crux, is it good Oline play, or bad defenses? The other thing is that pressure, even to the tune of 2...
Brady is an avg deep ball thrower, but throwing to the best deep threat ever. Moss was a sideline deep threat, the best deep threat ever, but...
Moss may be the most dangerous, but at the same time he's by far the most limited. He's the best 1 trick WR ever, but that's the only trick he's...
RT's pre-read needs some work, which is why I believe Gase took the hurry up out of the O, and doesn't line him up under C much. His post read is...
A flawed source, lol, yeah I just checked a couple boxscores and they didn't match up.
I just saw a very interesting and relevant piece of info, Gase wants to run more plays than the other team, pretty common approach these days....
Pouncey actually did have stem cell treatment.
That's true, but WR in particular can take a year or 3 to acclimate to, and that kid has real skills.
The only way he's not on this roster is through trade, no way he gets released in his 2nd year, without even getting into what they gave up for...
Boundary WRs are easily more valuable, you laid out one of the primary reasons, there are fewer of them on the planet AND YET you need more of...
I'll bet he outlasts Shelby. Shelby said something similar, but only lasted a couple weeks, if that, he was like "I can't keep up with him", but...
I completely agree with this, I think he's trying to build a well rounded O that can take advantage of whatever chinks the particular team we are...
37-40 and 86.5.
To add to this, MM has an 89 rating as a Dolphin and also has a winning record as a Dolphin(8-7).
Well, MM has started 15 games for us, while their guy has 4.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA That's fine.
I thought MM ran his O better than RT, so he would still have good(at a much lower price) while he searched for great. That extra 20 mil would...
That's fair, I can see why people like RT, I don't think he sucks, he's got some great traits, I just think he's lacking in a couple of crucial...
That's fair, even though I'm crazy in this scenario :yahoo:. I can deal with that :cool:.
Yes I said it last year, but when I said it I wasn't thinking about the injury clause in RT's contract, this years money was guaranteed due to the...
Lol, so you can have an opinion and I can't? What a joke.
Well, I think he just took a chunk out of him, or he ate Zach's mini me?...
Or is it you not wanting to see the truth? I was a fan of Suh before I got a chance to see him game in and game out, then once I watched tape I...
Yes I did hear what Ironhead's kid said, but at the same time DJ, I'd take him over Suh, that dude is a beast. I have a question though, have you...
Yeah, my bad, lol.
Good advice :up:.
The problem is, he doesn't control them, they usually control him, he doesn't hold his ground, he gets pushed off the ball, teams have no problem...
I give the players a bit more credit than say the probowl, in which I agree with you, but I think the players are at least trying to be accurate.
Suh isn't a space eater though, that's like saying Suh is like Wilfork, it just aint so, lol, Suh is a penetrating DT, but this is common knowledge.
Well, they could ask you or me to be CK, that doesn't make it so, Suh is a long way from CK, who is considered one of the best ever, CK never got...
No, how did racism get in here, lol, no I was referring to the systematic denial of equal rights, because if that truly was the case, Obama would...
They are 2 totally different players, CK was a space eating beast, he could control 2 players at the LOS, he's like Wilfork just more athletic, so...
Thats pretty tough to sell coming off Obama, and it isn't this country that is denying anyone any rights, it's individuals, this country has no...
You're most likely right, but he is our only guy that still has a chance, and imo is the best player we have, and is a top 5 S.
True, but you certainly can disagree with it :up:.
My problem with it was that it's not a country issue, it's a police issue, they were protesting police violence, and not a federal police issue,...
I think it's a fair ranking, even though he's one of our best players, he's vastly overpaid because he's not a dominant player, very good, but not...
Perhaps Reshad is still on the list, the list is supposed to be based on this up coming years production/impact, so he absolutely should be on the...
I think it's pretty safe to say he didn't make it at this point, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised, he had slightly less yds and rec, and the...
Andre was a beast, but he was a mid range possession WR, who wasn't know for his big play ability, in 14 years he's never had a double digit TD...
I love IA, "they gave me number 68 jersey and I plan to earn it". Typical Islander warrior mentality.
Well I think we have to work with what we have, Parker is a tall, thin, fast WR, he doesn't play like Andre, he plays like Plax, he can threaten...
At times last year he showed Alpha WR qualities, and he can be a possession WR or a deep threat, very Plaxico like player, hopefully he can attain...
I think that this seasons sched will be much tougher, and TC is where you start to really get a feel, but early on I think we are near a 500 team...
Saying i'll believe it when I see it is a lot different than saying the odds are bad because past regimes have failed, but I have no problem with...
I think the problem people are having is that last line is kind of contradictory; "Not that any of this tells you anything about the current...
I think we've wandered off the point a bit, they can't predict what will happen on Nov 16th, and they don't try because it's impossible,...
DJ's point, which is correct, is that it doesn't matter who is on the list, that has no bearing on Tank one way or the other. It's like trying to...
I think the answer to this is right in your post Key, Vontae, he's one of the top 10-15 CBs in the league, regardless of how intelligent he is....
It doesn't really change the fact that we haven't done too well in the 3rd, lol, but he was a good 3rd rounder.
Somewhere Rod Tidwell is saying, "that's my word!".
Not that it has any bearing on Tank, but I think Langford was a 3rd round steal, a solid NFL starting DE.
I liked the pick a lot, he's a guy I had on my radar, horrible effort vs the run, really pathetic at times, but he can cover, the run stuff is so...
I like his potential, I wouldn't have drafted him personally but I do like his potential as a returner and Sproles like abilities, lets hope the...
Drake's injury history still worries me, and Williams balled out last year, he scored 6 TDs on O, I'm glad we have both.
I totally agree, it's just that Kwon may not be one of them at the moment, we'll have to see how TC plays out.
I agree, that would be a fun site, my problem with Mando is that he's being a backstabber to his own trade, I have no problem with a blogger doing...
I'm surprised by Mando, that was a pathetically cheap article, I'm not even talking about the football part, just the picking apart of another...
I think there's a couple of things to take into consideration, the 8 mil per we're paying Timmons to be the MLB, and the fact that Kwon isn't a...
Well, the thing is that the D doesn't dictate strong or weak, the offense does, the side with the TE is the strong side, and once they realize...
Well "coach speak" = "empty words", and as I said in an that comment, of course he'd like that, what team wouldn't, but the players need all those...
Perhaps a lot of guys in the league think Parker will be playing a bigger role...
I think thats a simple case of coach speak, idyllically yeah, if you can have 3 guys that can play MLB, but reality is different, as in their...
The thing is that the Fins themselves didn't think Kiko was fine there, this isn't just my opinion, they removed him from MLB before we signed...
Misi's problem is more health than ability, so we're not in trouble if Misi starts, it's how far is the drop off when/if he gets injured, if...
7th in catches is good, 10th in yds is good, but I think the same thing that hurt him last year will hurt him this year as well, tied for 48th in...
Well, you're twisting the point a bit, first off, I could say the exact opposite, a good MLB will wait for the RB to commit, or better yet, get...
At the NFL level you definitely expect more from a MLB than just filling a hole, you want him picking the right hole nearly all the time, which is...
I watch a lot of Steelers games because my brother is a fan, Timmons does everything well, some things better but he can do anything you ask in a...
In this early projection, I'm seeing a tough row to hoe with the schedule and being honest about last year, we had a lot of close victories vs...
The exceptions would be games like Jayjay's 200 yders and mainly elite RBs, it's definitely a passing league but I bet run stats would be...
