Oh no, he's just a blocker...:lol:

We'll see soon enough if he and Tannehill have chemistry

 

:omg: Breaking News! Dolphins player insults future Hall of Famer; Creating a Major Distraction for Training Camp! :omg:

 

Reason 942 I love the preseason.

My wife always asks "why are you still watching? the starters arent in!"

"Women! This is our future! You never know who will emerge as a hall of famer, that wasnt even drafted....now make me a sammich!"*











































*not historically accurate

 

So, he wants to be better than Gates. That guarantees a whole lot of nothing.

 

Who said it guaranteed anything? It's the offseason, and it's a story about our rookie tight end, comparing himself and striving to be one of the greats.

Did you want something in writing, saying he will be a hall of famer?

 

It's fluff. I'd guess Jordan wants to be the next Jason Taylor too. Jamar Taylor wants to be the next Patrick Surtain. Will Davis wants to be the next Sam Madison, etc etc.

 

Its from the official dolphin site, of course its fluff. Why do you seem annoyed by this?

 

yeah Mr. C wassup recently....either it´s rant, rant, rant or its grammar police ? need a hug ? :up:

 

No ****. What's your point?

 

Because nothing is misspelled is my guess.

:sidelol: I am far from annoyed. Just making a simple observation. Something I'd rather do than throw a :party: before one has been earned or is warranted.

 

I dunno for sure. Send me a pic first. Either topless or full frontal nudity, then I'll let you know if I wish you to hug me. ;)

 

At least he's aspiring to be the next Antonio Gates and not the Next Aaron Hernandez :shifty:

 

I already made it in the previous post. Sims can want to be whomever he pleases. Want in one hand and sh!t in the other and see which one fills up the fastest. Am I wrong? He can want to be John Mackey or Mike Ditka, Gates, or any other great TE all he wants. Unless he goes out on the field and proves worthy of any such comparison, talking about it is all bleh to me.

 

God forbid one of our rookies is shooting for the stars. I think I'll support his dreams rather the sh*t on them.

 

It's not even training camp. Your acting like egnew said this. Jesus.

 

If Egnew said it, I'd say he's from Missouri, so he has to "Show Me". :)

Actually, I see no difference which one said it. Sims can want to be as good as Gates, and Egnew could want to be as good as Graham. Talk is cheap. "Show me."

 

My point is he can't show you yet. It's not even training camp. What else is he going to say at this point? "I hope I have a decent career like Troy drayton"

 

Perhaps saying he preferred to wait and show us on the field, rather than make comparisons to All Pros now?

I think I'll go on walkabout, and clear my head a bit. Have a nice day. :)

 

I'm excited about this kid's potential and what he can do for the O more than most.

 

No it isn't world news but is nice to hear a rook w lofty goals

 

I'm with Mr C .... if you want to be as good as Gates - awesome ... how are you getting there? who are you training with?

you ain't getting there in the film room ....

not much better, but how about saying winning the starting TE job ...

 

I like Sims more than the other potential #2s we have that I've watched. I haven't watched the kid that Congemi said stood out. That being said I don't have a real high ceiling for Sims. I put his ceiling at about Fasano's level.

 

Um yeah, clearly my bad. You are obviously not annoyed by this. Yup.

 

Well pretty much every TE is at the moment.

I love Gates but if I was him I'd of hung it up after last season.

 

Hopefully hes talking about Gates 5 years ago and not perpetually injured and mediocre Gates now :)

 

I'm with Mr.C.

Some of you say it's not even training camp yet, so how can he show us. That's exactly the point. It's not even Training camp yet. He can be the next Egnew. After a great season then start talking about the greats. Make it to camp first. Make it through camp first. Start some games first.

What he said is harmless but at the same time, why say it. Prove it.

Did Tannehill say he wants to be better than Dan Marino? I don't remember him doing so.

 

This is horse ****.

There is not a damn thing in the world wrong with a player saying he's striving to be like one of the best.

I clearly stepped into some kind of crazy world. From now on, any player that says they want to be like Great Player X should either be kicked from the team or killed on site. How dare they!!!!!!!

 

It's not about whether a kid wants to strive to be one of the best, I would think to get to the level any of these guys are (UDFAs or drafted rookies) they have to already have that drive inside them. I'm glad he's proclaiming he wants to be the next Gates, but he's not yet and has a long, long way to go. When he actually starts to show that, then I'll get excited. So far, he hasn't had the opportunity to show anything. I would be disappointed if he didn't want to be the best....but there isn't much reason for excitement in late June about a guy (or any other guy) that no one other than his team mates and the staff have seen him even on the field... I don't recall his name being bantered about by the media folks that had access to a day or two of OTAs and minicamp that he was extraordinary ?? Yes, I believe his name was mentioned by the one or two of the media, but none of them said he was Gates-like ??

It's certainly not about Mr C. being grumpy, although that could have been the case (I didn't get that impression), it's about what OUR expectations are of this kid without seeing anything yet... I'm saving my excitement until I see something definitive...

 

No one was excited about it. It was just fluff piece from the team so we'd have something else to read while waiting for camp. No one took it as more than that, then people came on and started downing the guy because he wants to be one of the greats...its effing ridiculous.

 

Its a ****ing team interview from miamidolphins.com

They said "hey man, who do you want your game to resemble?"

is he supposed to say "no comment" to his teams official page?

He mentioned 2 of this generations greatest tight ends (gonzo and gates) Who else is he gunna mention? Randy McMichael?

Some of you guys are ridiculous.

That's right. Thanks for admitting it.

During this video they show some of him during minicamp/otas and it looks like he's lost the weight and may actually show that some preconceived notions of him being the big plodding slobber knocker TE, might just be misplaced.
