Was doing my regular nightly lurking around...found something new for now. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/dolphins/content/sports/epaper/2009/01/16/0117dolphins.html http://www.palmbeachpost.com/blogs/...009/01/16/three_dolphins_on_allrookie_te.html
When was the last time we had three rookies all contribute (receive rookie honors) ??? Maybe JJ's first year ?? I don't know, but it's really nice to have FAs, UDFAs and rookies all contribute to the success of the team for a change...we forgot what that was while Wanny was here and really haven't seen it since...
Nice refreshing offseason read, especially considering the junk we've had to read the last few offseasons. The future definitely looks bright for us!
This is exactly how you know a team is headed in the right direction. God is it refreshing. We had so many draft day blunders with the idiots that were in control before.
Look, I like what Bess did as much as anyone, but even if he started all year, there is no way to know the numbers he would have posted and the fact of the matter is Jackson as well as Royal had better years and also deserved the recognition. Sure, you can take Bess' totals as a starter and adjust what they would have been if he started 16 games, but he didn't, and even if he did he may not have produced the exact same totals. Can't give an award for what may have been.
I'm would have been happy with one rookie playing very well for us from last draft, to have as many as we did, it is truely remarkable. Bess should have made the list too but oh well we know what we have in him, which is what really matters.
