voted yes. i'm already getting misty eyed thinking about denver and arizona. :pity:

 

Crying is going a little far, but to strike out three times would be dissapointing.

And we'd have to really accept that our franchise has lost most of its luster. Football wise there are other moves at qB I would like so I'd get over it, but being thought of like the Browns, or Bills, would be a lot to take.

 

I'm reserving my tears for when we win a SB. Happy tears of course.
Note...... This place is going to burn to the ground if Manning signs elsewhere.

 

I think it would be great if Manning does sign with us, but if he doesn't it's not the end of the world. Time to move on to option number 2. :)

 

It's fairly funny because the hype surrounding Manning was entirely media created. If Phin fans still buy into media hype, that's on them.

We were hearing numbers of 85% to Miami then when we didn't even meet with Manning, guys like Schefter started saying we lost steam as if we told them we were going to sign Manning. Philbin hasn't seem enthused at all about this and he certainly hasn't made any plans known to anyone.

 

No.........no...................................yes

 

According to this report the Miami media may be influential in why Peyton doesn't choose the Dolphins...

I actually would be glad if Peyton signs elsewhere. That leaves Miami with the chance to sign the best fit here which is Matt Flynn. Peyton should be plan B, not plan A.

 

Not sure I would take this idea as far as you but I agree this is nothing to cry over Flynn is a good option for the dolphins.

 

No I wouldnt cry.....but kicking small children and cats will probably happen....

 

I wouldnt actually cry but I voted yes. It would be very disappointing. With Peyton I would have hope of the Super Bowl. If the Pats could get there with a bad defense and mediocre run game and the 9-7 Giants could win it with the worst run game...we could definitely have a shot if Peyton stays healthy.

 

As a Dolfan I've kinda gotten used to settling.

 

Nope. I have been a Peyton Manning fan for years. I will still be a fan of his no matter what team he goes to (except the Jets). I have had this avatar for many years. It would be great if he was a dolphin but I will survive if it doesn't happen.

 

I'd feel like the world just landed on my soul and crushed it. I'd never trust anything I ever heard again and just quietly curse myself for ever being a dolphins fan.

 

We're all going to do the same thing if Manning doesn't sign. Embrace the 2nd option and convince ourselves he's better than the #1 option, whether he is or not.

 

In other words, just another typical day, eh Lucky? :lol:



















:knucks:

 

It would be terrible to see Ross miss out on yet another person he wants in Miami. How many times can this happen before we start asking serious questions? Being that Ross has made it known he wants Peyton I think he has to do whatever it takes to get him in Miami. He misses Harbaugh, it doesn't work out with Fisher, he can't afford to miss yet again. I think he should ask Dan Marino to get involved a little.

 

I am in a very negative place right now concerning the Miami Dolphins. While I am very excited about the possibilities, part of me, the negative or realistic part, is waiting for the shoe to drop. It could be a lose - lose situation. I feel that Ross will screw it up and not get Manning (can't wait to see that press conference from Ross!). If we do get Manning I feel he could be a complete bust either by not being healthy, getting injured early in the season or something and all this will make the team look even worse and more pathetic....

 

Nope, not at all. I think passing on Peyton might turn out to be the best thing for the Miami Dolphins in the end. Would it be so bad to actually draft a quarterback in the 1st round? The Dolphins haven't done that in my lifetime.

 

I would be dissappointed but not crushed.For me until he is signed it is best to remain hopefully optimistic.If he signed with the Jets I might start to blubber though.

 

Probably the Dumbest thing I've ever heard... And that's saying alot.... No offense.. he will be getting the media blitz in ANY city... That is just naive..........wow

 

I'll cry like Mark Sanchez.

 

I thought that time FinD stood you up on your bed and breakfast retreat last year would have crushed it.

 

My expectation is that Manning is not coming, so I certainly won't cry if he does what I expect and he signs with another team. What I will do if he does sign with the Dolphins is something I haven'y done in over forty years. I will go out and buy a six pack and probably drink every single one of them in celebration.

 

Why can't he afford another miss? I keep hearing that, but don't have a clue what it means. He will still be the owner of the Miami Dolphins. He will still have over $3 Billion to his name. The Dolphins will still have the #8 pick in the draft. Matt Flynn will still likely be a perfect fit for Miami if they choose to go that way.

Also, looks like he won for missing out on Fisher. Chances are we would have a new DC facing a suspension right now. Philbin is a great hire.

 

I'll laugh if we don't sign Manning, because that's what this franchise has done to me.

 

Sure I guess maybe it doesn't matter if a franchise is continuously rejected. You're right, he will still have a lot of money... but credibility?

 

I agree. Just another act in the comedy that is the Miami Dolphins.

 

First, How do you know Philbin is a great hire? I remember many Dolphin fans thought Cam Cameron, Nick Saban, and Bill Parcells and his gang were great hires also. Philbin may turn out to be a great hire but since he has never been a HC, how can you be so sure he will turn out to be a great hire?

All I have seen so far from Ross is his ability to fail when it comes to hiring the first man he goes after. He certainly did not make his billions because of his ability to run a football organization. If he wants more fans in the seats next year, he must sign Manning. Signing Flynn or drafting a second tier QB in this years draft is certainly not going to put more butts in those seats next year.

I just don't see Flynn as a future star in the NFL. I see him as a very mediocre QB and if the Dolphins sign him as their QB of the future, I see them still searching for a franchise QB when the 2013 draft comes around. As far as the Dolphins picking #8 in the draft. Be prepared for another offensive lineman to be selected by the Dolphins with that pick.

 

No,I won't cry although I'd like him to join us down here.
I'm past the holding my breath stage with this team. Been let down too many times.

 

That's exactly what I'm thinking too. Get Dano involved since he and Peyton are tight.

 

bullllllllllllllllllsh$t not me....

 

We've only been rejected once and that was by Harbaugh. (To be honest, I'm not sure we know the whole story on that one either.)

We rejected Fisher. He would have come here if we were willing to give him everything he wanted.

 

I'd jump for joy that this team didn't get suckered into a poor short term investment.

 

I know, for me I would be compelled to see how the dolphins could mess it up somehow...

 

And how will we ever protect his blind side since Jake Long can't play left tackle?
