It's going to be a long season, again.
Miami is rebuilding, I've accepted that. I just hope to see progress really. In my opinion, if we're in a position to grab Barkley next year, we have to do it. With the rookie pay scale as it is, keep throwing picks at any elite QB you can draft until you get someone special and then build.
Too bad we couldn't keep a top5 WR we already had. I know he had a bad attitude at times but maybe the coaching and the QB play had a little something to do with it. Lovie Smith is handling him just fine.
I'm not down on Tannehill, I'm actually really impressed with where he's at considering the poor supporting cast around him. However, if you have the chance to grab an elite QB prospect and you're not absolutely sure the guy you have is a franchise QB, I think you do it given the new rookie pay scale. QB is the most important position, take as many shots as it takes to get right given the relatively low cost. The Rams were still saddled with Bradfords pre-rookie scale contract, so I sort of understand what they did, but if I were a Rams fan and I wasn't 100% sold on Bradford, I'd have wanted RG3 too. My post was more of a general statement about drafting a QB 2 years in a row given the new dynamics of the draft (top tier QBs are an absolute bargain now with the new rookie scale). As a Miami fan, I hope Tannehill is the real deal (I've by no means given up on him and he hasn't done anything to convince me he's not) and I hope we're not in a position to draft Barkley, but if we are and Barkley is still an elite prospect, I'd still take him.
Here's the problem my fellow Phinfans, the Dolphins don't do well with draft picks so I'm not sure more of them helps with this GM...every time we jettison another top pick or player we traded high picks for we look more and more foolish. I'm not sure if the Phins had 2 picks in all 7 rounds that they could get things turned around with Ireland and Ross.
Understood - if we wind up with a Top 3 pick I'm pretty confident Ireland will not be here to make that pick.Here's the problem my fellow Phinfans, the Dolphins don't do well with draft picks so I'm not sure more of them helps with this GM...every time we jettison another top pick or player we traded high picks for we look more and more foolish.

I'd be very surprised if they pick up anything other than a WR in the first round.
You should start a thread about how worthwhile it is going to games at the stadium.
I'm a sucker Greg, what can I say?You should start a thread about how worthwhile it is going to games at the stadium.
I love it Slap. They are not a playoff team but I feel this is the best OL/DL combination since Shula was here, that's the truth. THill is going thru some growing pains but 400 yds as a rookie? Even Marino wasn't posting those numbers in '83. 30 years later the Prodigal Son has returned. I'm just happy we look like a professional football team for once.'Slapdash said:
I live here, know many of the local beat writers, have met all the radio guys on 560, 790, 940AM, his name has never come up in conversation. Hartline and Bess are the starters, Gaffney and Marlon Moore are the WR3 and WR4, beyond that and we are talking 2013 Draft or FA in the off season. I only see Hartline and Bess long term but eventually they will slide into WR3 WR4 roles...Hartline is actually a FA end of season, might be gone.
Q1-Hard to say, Flynn never got a chance really. Tannehill has a ways to go still but needs much better weapons. Q2-Seattle is flying cross country the weekend of Thanksgiving for a 1:00 game, they are gonna get rolled today'Hooper31 said:
Figured he'd get at least two more when they didn't replace him when they got rid of Sporano.To be fair, the 12 draft was pretty solid.
You are right. Wow. So now we are down to essentially receiving one 3rd round pick for one of the best young WRs in football, as we plan for an offseason where WR is our top priority. There must be a serious scarcity of viable GMs on the market right now.
I didn't like that pick from the start.
I'm not too upset about the Marshall deal anymore. The Dolphins have a lot of early picks and a good cap situation. I don't see any reason not to grab one of Jennings/Wallace/Harvin AND use the 12 on a top WR.
