Was dealing B Marshall away for two 3rds the dumbest trade in franchise history?

    I think so.

    RT @AKuperstein: The Dolphins turned the Brandon Marshall draft picks into: Michael Egnew, B.J. Cunningham and Will Davis

    No, it was an incredibly stupid deal the moment it was approved by the league. I remember all the people that thought the trade meant we would land Peyton lol.

    It's clearly manageable. Hell Pouncey is a bigger head case than Marshall.

    Definitely was a bad trade for us. However, it really appears as if B Marsh is in a much better place mentally than he was in Miami. I am happy for the man and can live with our team's ineptitude because of that.

    With the trade downs and back up in 2013, Dion Sims' pick was also partly due to the Marshall trade.

    Considering they got rid of Marshall after only two seasons. The worst trade was when they gave up two #2 draft picks to Denver in the trade for Marshall.

    I certainly think he was worth the two #2's but since he only lasted two seasons with the Dolphins before they traded him, I would have rather never traded for him in the first place and kept the two second round picks instead.

    With the way Ireland drafted, keeping the second round draft picks wouldn't have done much for us.

    Head case or not, dropped balls or not, I would love it if his stats from Chicago were our stats here. So the answer is yes. I can't think of a dumber trade in the history of the franchise.

    brandon is a big time playmaker, something the dolphins sorely miss.

    Trading for a WR was a dumb move in the first place, given the QB play since Pennington went down. Miami is where WR's go to die.

    Also, I don't think the Dolphins are in the top 31 NFL teams you'd want to play for if you had BPD or depression. Mental health is something other organizations can waste their time thinking about; the Dolphins apparently have better things to do.

    The Bears seem to have handled BM's mental illness just fine.

    Didn't we trade Vontae Davis for a 2nd rounder, then use that 2nd rounder the next year to trade up for Dion Jordan? If so, that would be my vote for worst trade.

    Yes, it was a bad trade, at the time and obviously now. Just wait, my gut feeling is that we'll turn Mike Wallace into two thirds.

    Yep. His mental illness is his uncanny ability to put together a hall of fame career outside of his Miami Years.

    Oh..I am willing to bet that is exactly what happens.

    We trade him for two thirds....the board rejoices.....Wallace catches 90 for 1,400 and 14 TD's for New England.

    There's gotta be somwthing to the fact that alot of good players we've had seemed to underperform here but flourish elsewhere. Is it coaching? Mismatched schemes? Play calling?

    Getting rid of him was absolutely the right decesion. The fact that he's done well in Chicago only proves that he can play well with Jay Cutler. He was a mess in Miami, and I think would have continued to be. It doesn't matter what we ended up doing with those two draft picks, he had to go. I wasn't completely against getting him in the first place, but I really really wanted Bolden instead.

    Probably worth noting he is now having to answer for his past domestic violence problems. The NFL is a witchhunt right now.

    Its not a witch hunt to hold people accountable for unforgivable crimes. No man who hurts a woman or child should ever go unpunished, even if the woman doesn't want to press charges. There is never an excuse, unless the man's life is in danger and fighting her is the only escape.

    Yes, they may deserve it, but my point is that the NFL/Media is going after anyone who has ever done anything, however long ago - which is relevant to BM no longer being on the team.

    Exactly. Most except for the most homeristic of Dolphans realized it was a dumb move at the moment it happened. We were called crazy and lunatics for criticizing Jeff Ireland for a terrible move. We knew he would turn those picks into exactly what he did: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Jeff Ireland's horrifying tenure as GM of this team will cast a shadow over this team for years to come. And yet the homers continue to criticize us for our criticism of one of the worst people to ever happen to this franchise. I won't let it go. I'll continue to remind some of you how terrible he was and how justified we were of calling into question his terrible decisions.

    I hated that trade. Despised it. Bad seasons for him still equated to our most productive Dolphin WR since the 90s.

    But after watching his Football Life, it seemed like his being here was not meant to be. But I hated him leaving. Hated it. He was and is an elite talent.

    Brandon Marshall brings up another thing about Ireland. And that's the fact that even when Ireland won, he couldn't help but piss all over his mother ****ing shoes. Getting a talent like Brandon Marshall in the prime of his career for 2 2nd round picks was a WIN. How could Jeff Ireland **** all that up? By trading him away for 2 3rd round picks. Shoes, meet piss. **** you, Jeff Ireland. And **** anyone who looks like you. This is the rant forum after all.
