The mess he and Turner put on tape yesterday should have, and apparently did seal their fate.

The purge has begun... It's really starting to feel like we're in suck for somebody mode.

 

Hit the road jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more

good bye and good riddance!

 

Apparently Jamil Douglas is getting the axe too.

 

We should be 0-5, hopefully that Cody Parkey missed kick doesn't come back to hurt us.

 

Been there, done that. Even if we approached him though and he had to decide between Minny and Miami given the current team situations, why on earth would he come back here?

 

Finally!

Party Time! At least there is 1 positive from this year!

 

Heads are starting to roll. The season looks lost but the least you can do is try to keep Tannehill clean for he can finish the season with both legs attached

 

good. Though I don't like the fact Gase said Tanny will start every game. He needs to hold him accountable also.

To me, this move is a clear indication that they still have faith in Tannehill, and unlike previous staffs, have realized that the OL is a massive problem, compounded with the QB's own shortcomings.

There's nobody else on this team worth starting at QB either. Don't forget, Gase was hired to "fix" Tannehill. He's either going to do that, or he's going to make the decision on Tannehill. Everyone knows QB's take time to learn that new system, Bruce Arians says 8 games. So, it only makes sense that Ryan starts all 16 games this year if he's capable so Gase can make a good evaluation on what he has. That's going to be tough with this OL, but that's his job to figure it out.

 

no way you can start him all 16 games if things stay the same, that would be a huge mistake going into next year.

Plus you are forgetting the 4 preseason games, so we are already into the 9th game in a new offense. one that looks exactly like the last one so far.

 

You cant teach a winning attitude and killer instinct. either you have it or you dont.

 

Why is it that it take so long to cut a guy when most of us saw 2 to 3 years ago the guy doesn't have it?

 

At least Gase didn't wait like other coaches have done. The good thing is it sends a clear message to the team, that no matter how inept we are with depth, we will release you and bring in someone else. I think the players will have to step up and make themselves better now.....if they want to get paid.

 

Things aren't going to stay the same. That's just it. You cant make judgments after five weeks. Brandon Albert will start Sunday. There's even a slight chance tunisil does. In two weeks we may have our full oline back for the first time this year

 

It's not a huge mistake dude. It only is to you, because you want your boy Doughty on the field. Just say it. The thing is, you can, and you DO start Tannehill all 16 games this year. It has ZERO effect on next year. Ryan Tannehill is the starter of this team unless he has an epic meltdown, or gets hurt. There is NOBODY else to turn to. Matt Moore solves nothing. The job for Gase, is try to fix, and decide on Tannehill. So, you play him as much as you can, you try as hard as you can to fix the mess around him, and you try and get that evaluation. Maybe, just maybe Gase eventually decides he's seen enough and sits him, but there's no point in that. You have nobody else to play the position. There is ZERO to gain from trotting Matt Moore out there, and Brandon Doughty is a 7th round pick, and didn't make the roster, cleared waivers, and was signed back to the PS for a reason. He's not ready. I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's more than likely not to unless something happens to change that. The writing is all over the wall.

You want to consider a pre-season game as 1 of the 8 that most NFL coaches opinions say it takes a QB/unit to adjust to a new system? When they play only a handful of plays? Why are we wasting time here man? Come on... Seriously. Stop being silly.

 

Actually i said the same thing about starting Moore the last 3 years, so no it is not about Doughty, it is about what is best for the Dolphins. IF we had someone else besides Doughty I would be saying the exact same thing, which I have and did with Moore.

It is moronic to start Tannehill the entire season past game 12 IF you decide he is not the answer. Moore could be good for 3-4 more years, but again WE don't know. Also Doughty could be a huge star, but again we DON'T know. I would rather see what we have and then make the decision going into next year on what to do at QB instead of still having a question as to the plan.

If either of those two come in and the offense magically looks good, then you know for a fact it is Tannehill. If they both equally inept as Tannehill than you replace them or maybe give tannehill a reduced salary to come back.

Yeah the preseason games are for practice.... and they were calling plays from the new system. Hey if you want to add 4 MORE games onto it you can do that.

It makes no sense to keep running Tannhill out there the last 4 games IF you know he is done with the team. Those games are completely meaningless unless you use them to evaluate talent.

p.s. The Broncos starter.....7th round pick. That guy named Brady....7th round pick. With you calling the shots neither of them would have ever played a down.

 

Pretty much this. Sad thing is, I think Billy Turner has this but he's still stinking it up.

 

if you could play him only on running plays :)

 

Joke's on me, looks like Turner is getting waived too. Don't get the job done? See ya later.

 

I think you're missing the point here. What Adam Gase is essentially saying, is he hasn't, and likely won't make that decision on Tannehill until he's seen a year worth of him. That is what's in the best interest of the Miami Dolphins right now as they have the opt out clause coming. There is ZERO incentive to make that decision sooner, unless as I said, there's a drastic meltdown game like Fitzpatrick had, or something that happens to clearly say ok, that's not an external factor. That's our QB not being good enough. With the decision that has to be made regarding his contract, you see as much of him as you can.

As for seeing what you have, they already know what they have presently in Matt Moore. Nothing. In Brandon Doughty, a guy who we might as well keep around and see if we can develop him. You can't throw him in if he's not ready. The guys you are referring to were on active rosters, were backups, spent time in the system, have been in the league along longer than a training camp and 5 games. He's not ready, it's really that simple. If they were comfortable in "seeing what he's got", he wouldn't have been released, subjected to waivers, and signed back to the PS. That time may come, pending development this year, but right now, they aren't concerned with "seeing what he's got" enough to not have him exposed to being signed by another team... Think about it man.

I'm done talking about this here. Not the thread for this nonsense.

 

What are the chances that the Phins restructure Ryan's contract and basically say we are going to cut you or you play for 1 million next year and show us what you have before we decide? That's if he wants to stay? Can they do that?

 

Moore for 3 or 4 more years?!? Oh hell no!!!

 

Who r the replacements?

He couldn't hold him entirely accountable until the OL is fixed.

 

I don't believe Tannehill is the long term answer at the QB position for the Dolphins, but you are absolutely right that he deserves to start all 16 games.

Starting Moore would serve no purpose because he probably won't be a Miami Dolphin next year either.

While I would like to see if Doughty has anything to offer at the position. He obviously isn't ready to be a starting QB in the NFL right now and he may never be.

While I seriously doubt it, maybe Tannehill will suddenly take a giant step forward in his development over the remaining 12 games. At least by watching him over the remainder of the season, Gase will be able to make an informed decision once the season is over regarding Tannehill's future with the Dolphins.

The Dolphins are likely to have a top five pick with or without Tannehill playing this rest of this season. At least drafting that high they should be able to draft a QB if they decide Tannehill is not their QB of the future. If Gase does determine Tannehill deserves to be the starter beyond this season, a top five pick should be high enough to draft an impact player for one of the many holes they need to fill throughout their roster.

 

Could you imagine the kind of part-time, LB/DE hybrid we could get with that pick?

 

Watch his presser from today. He explains his decision quite clearly.

 

What I would really prefer is what I requested of KB a few weeks ago - the name of the biggest, fastest, smartest, meanest, slobber-knocking, pass deflecting middle line backer we could find in the draft - Dick Butkus in the 21st Century!

 

I'm pretty sure Douglas was cut a week ago. Unless I'm having deja vu? I thought it was interesting given he is a G.

 

Huge step.

On the same day, no less.

Christmas finally leapfrogged Halloween.

 

Yes he was cut, resigned to the PS and cut again.

 

God. Took you long enough. Billy still on the team right?
