I agree Pod, and I wouldn't say that unless I felt good about Gafney, he's a good football player.

Unless you wanna double down and sign Plax...

 

I think he is enough for this season.

 

No.

 

you stole the words off my finger tips. lol. that's what I thought when I voted.
I am very happy about the Gaffney signing, even more happy that Naanee is gone. But I still wanna draft a WR. Gaffney has played in the NFL for 10 years. But he is aging like a fine wine since his best year was last year!

 

I chose wait and see because of health if he is healthy we should be fine.

Save those draft picks and atleast one on a fresh WR.
I'd take one early and a mid round one double up in draft.

 

I think we have shot our wad this year.One bad contract is enough .We did sign Armstrong and we will have to wait until he produces.If you cut him you will have another bad contract with dead cap money involved.

Anyway there is no one else available at WR worth taking a chance on IMO.We should wait for next years draft to improve.

 

He's ok for now. We still need to address the problem in the off season

 

For now it is, but a lot still needs to be done in the offseason.

 

what did u have in mind when making this poll? enough for this season or enough to not use a low round draft pick next year on WR?

 

Time to get our rookie Matthews involved, he's surrounded by good young vets now

 

The WR corps still need work. However, Gaffney was the best move available to us at the time. I don't think the WRs are going to get better and should be addressed next offseason accordingly.

 

Armstrong could be next to get his walking papers.

 

Gaffney helps Tannehill with reliability.

But he is not a #1 and not a big play receiver. He does nothing to scare Safeties.

"Gaffney is a reliable pass-catcher, but he’s as close to a non-gamebreaker as you can get."

4.56 speed. So, we still need that guy who can back off the safeties.

 

Armstrong seems to be dinged up a lot. In addition to the latest problem, he battled a shoulder injury all preseason.

 

It really depends on whether Armstrong steps up and is that deep guy they can rely on to catch 2 or 3 balls a game.

 

Well actually there are still two open roster spots. Makes you think someone is promoted from the practice squad.

 

I say try to trade for Mike Wallace, especially if you can get him for just a 2nd.

 

Honestly I'm on the D. Bowe bandwagon. He can do EVERYTHING you want a WR to do. He's a FA at the end of the year and has previously spoken about playing here. I'd even cough up a 2nd or 3rd now, which KC might take seeing as he probably won't re-sign and their playoff hopes are very very bleak.

 

I don't think Brandon Marshall is any faster than that.

 

In reality speed isn't what scares a safety unless you're talking about a guy like Randy Moss or a true "burner". The ability to run a solid post route will back up a safety just as much as a deep threat. Any WR who can consistently beat a corner using any part of his game will back the safety up and force them to play the pass. I guess what I should say is speed isnt the ONLY thing that can push back safeties.

Hell a good QB will back safeties up. Does anyone think teams play the pass against NE because of their spectacular receivers?

Thats just my two cents though some will disagree.

 

Which could have also been said in the past two offseasons. 2009 was his best season til 2010, which was his best season til 2011.

 

The NFL truly is a game of inches. Think about it.

Naanee makes the catch and holds on. He gains some confidence, makes a big play for the team, perhaps inspires a little confidence from the coaches and has something to build on.

Instead he fumbles and is cut.

 

The real problem on this team is the secondary. Until they fix that unit, the Dolphins will continue to have trouble closing out games. As far as the WR position is concerned, if he is healthy, Gaffney should be a major upgrade over Naanee on the roster. He is a quick fix for this season, but the Dolphins still need to find a stud receiver in the 2013 draft, as far as I am concerned.

 

Burress would ultimately be the final piece for this season IMO. I doubt we could afford him. Gaffney had 5TD's last season. At that rate he'd have only added 1 extra TD so far. Depending on which game, it could have meant absolutely nothing in 2/4 games (Texans, Raiders), or added one win (Cardinals, Jets). Now with Burress's 8, that'd be two more TD's and our season would have a whole new complexion.

 

IMO, that's looking at it from a fantasy football viewpoint. Gaffney could also help you sustain drives with some tough 3rd down catches, and then someone else end up getting a TD that they would not have otherwise had a chance to score had Gaffney not moved the chains a time or two on the drive.

 

Considering that thought, this was an interesting tweet today.

 

Without swinging a deal for Wallace or Bowe? I guess we are in a "wait and see" with Gaffney. If he can at least be a solid #2 type WR we can have some decent options on the field with Gaffney, Hartline, and Bess in the slot.

 

I just don't think you move either Bess or Hart..Bess is ballin right now,

 

I think Bess is at his best in the slot, and forcing teams into a Nickel package and running Bush at them from a 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 HB formation should be productive. In any event, watching Tannehill play and learn is saving me from the despair I would usually be feeling from a 1-3 record.

 

Yes, for this season.

 

That is true... just ask Brian Hartline! I said Wait and See, but he already offers more than that Naanee piece of work. I was even behind signing him, as I had him on my fantasy team a couple years ago, and thought he was going to develop.

 

Well, AA has been here for 4 weeks and nothing yet. We know that Gaffney is just now possibly back to healthy status. I think they are simply looking for someone to step up. Unfortunately, the guys they have/have had have not as of yet...I hope against all hope that they decided to jump on Gaffney more so because he was finally healthy enough to sign than to keep him from the jests (much as that is ok with me too) but it would speak badly of this group if that were the ONLY reason they signed Gaffney (to keep him away from the jests)...

More simply put, I hope they signed Legs Nanee because Gaffney wasn't healthy moreso than they cut Legs because they wanted to keep someone away from the jests....

 

We ain't getting a game breaker this season though, so he will have to be enough.

No point going paying over the odds for someone now, keep those coupla picks for the draft and go nuts on CB, pass rusher and WR.
