Technically we did but the only reason he meet with our staff was because Marino had to beg him too, and then it was in Indy, the only time he meet with a team of interest outside their cities. Pretty sad what we have become, an after thought if that because our meeting seems to have been only a favor to his idol, a courtesy meeting in other words.

Manning can piss in the wind. I'm back to hating him. Giant foreheaded mother ****er.

The day Ross sells this team is the day Miami will truly start rebuilding. Until then ? Hold onto your bootstaps folks. Ross is a joke
People may have doubted it but as I have posted numerous times, anyone that is credible in the NFL, coach or now player, views Ross as an AZZ CLOWN.Mike80, Vinny Fins and Fin Fan In Cali like this. -

And if this makes you sleep better at night, good for you. But Ben Volin is a respectable beat writer from what I have seen who has no reason to make up ****. -

At least we made it to the table. A lot of teams wanted Manning that couldn't even get a meeting. So lets can the tears shall we.

My fear is this:
The media told us we were favorites and are now telling us we weren't. Now once that is filtered through the depression addled brains of our fans, it comes out the other side as we lost out on Manning because of mistakes we made.
The thing is, we know none of that.
We don't know if we were ever on Mannings list and if we weren't, then why we weren't.
Yes, maybe he didn't like Ross or Ireland. If true, that sucks.
Then again maybe he didn't want to be in our division. If true, we could do nothing about that.
But it doesn't matter, because this is now the football equivalent of watching clouds to see what animals they look like. Its up to the eye of the beholder.
So, my fear is that posters here are going to continue to just spout doom left and right and that is going to make the off season feel longer and be unbearable.Moves, ToddsPhins, gafinfan and 2 others like this. -

In a week or so we will either have Manning or, most likely, not have Manning. Either way, there will still be a draft in April, camp in July and a season in September, during which we will play 16 games. None of the drama surrounding Manning will change any of that. So wake me up when we sign a significant free agent and again just before the draft. Manning is no longer relevant.

When the rumors of Manning first started coming up, I posted a homerish thread about why Manning and Miami made sense.. Upon further reflection I realized we had no chance as this week progressed. Why would Manning consider the Dolphins given our current roster and coaching change?
1. Brand new, unproven head coach.
2. Questions around our running game. Was Reggie Bush a one hit wonder? What if Reggie flys back to earth next year? Then what? Compare that to how Denver ran the ball last year and some of the weapons on Tenessee. '
3. Questions about how effective our OL is.
4. No true #1 or even #2 WR.. Even with Brandon our WR corps was questionable.
5. AFC East schedule and toughness.
6. Poor image of Ireland and Ross.
All of these factors are valid and when you combine them, it made the likelyhood of Peyton coming down here close to nil, even before Brandon was traded.
If I'm John Elway I remind Peyton of how I won during the twighlight of my career, two Super Bowl on the back of Terrell Davis. I tell Peyton that Denver is going to have a balanced offense to take the burden off Peyton, and that their D has already made tremendous strides.. I'm still thinking he picks Denver.. They had a formula that worked under Elway, and now under his leadership can make life easy for Peyton as he makes his final ring chase.
Do these factors make the Dolphins look bad? Not at all, it is what it is. We are simply not that attractive yet for someone like Peyton to take a risk on. Peyton wants to end his career with another Super Bowl and the Dolphins, out of the remaining teams, have the toughest road to that.Waaay to many question marks.cdz12250, MAFishFan and Ronnie Bass like this. -

I believe Ross was the one that really thought we had a shot at Manning when we should of never thought that. We were used as usual to spice up other offers probably. This owner and front office should have seen this and never got sucked in like they did.

Not yet, but we were in a state of wait and see what happens.

Not getting Manning could be a blessing in disguise. Not very likely he wins another Super Bowl. I admit I was excited about him, and am a bit bummed about it. But truly, we are better off with someone younger that will work with Philbin offense, rather than Philbin working with what Manning wants to do.
