    Also… I'd like to say my wife in having her time of the month and I think I am having sympathetic cycles.

    :)

    lol. (yes, I like my own joke and I realize I am being overly reactive and emotional. But **** it. I had hope when Jeffy left and Ross pooped the pants instead of delivering)

    I think we could have waited this out longer..... surely there had to be some stronger candidates from the Seahawks/Broncos organization.. And then you offer everything you didn't offer the other candidates and get them to say yes.

    I guess one would need to watch multiple intro speeches for new GMs to know that.

    Regarding Hickey, he could speak Chinese or look like the alien from Mars Attacks... all I care is that he makes the right decisions and helps build a winning franchise.

    Did you switch to soy milk for your morning cereal? They say it has estrogen mimicking properties. If you start noticing unusual growth in your breast tissue, it maybe time to cut out the soy milk.

    My thoughts exactly. I guess it's therapeutic for some fans to rant and rave about everything. Sure gets old though. Doesn't do any good IMO. All I care about is his personnel decisions and we cannot know how they'll turn out until next season.

  10. Next season you will be one of the people claiming that you can not fairly grade a draft pick before their 3rd year. I would like to know what about this hire instills confidence that he is the right fit for the Dolphins?

    Is it his resumee?
    Ross's?
    Philbin's proven abilities

    What specifically gives you hope that this was a good hire? Was it all the great clichés he fed you in his interview?

    Ross said he talked to general managers around the league and they told him there is a lot of talent on the roster. I mean, doesn't that make him think that maybe coaching was the problem? I found that more than a little strange. Not that it particularly matters. It's all on Philbin now. If he doesn't win he won't have anyone else to blame.

    By the same token... Is there anything specific in his past that tells you he is a bad hire? Next season, you are right, we won't fully be able to evaluate the draft as it will be only year 1, but we can certainly evaluate him regarding free agency, who he has signed, who he has not, who he has retained and who he has not (our own free agents).

    Having a lot of talent doesn't mean the team did not have glaring holes (LB and OL) that effected those that had the talent from being able to have an impact.

    Ireland being removed, someone new picking players, a guy willing to work with the coach, the caplogist, Ireland and Philbin were not on the same page from the get imo, I don't think Ireland wanted the hire, and that is not a good situation.

    We really didn't know the record of any of these favorites, so I'll at least take the new guy who admittedly is a scout at heart and is hip to the idea of a unified front office and coaching staff..

    Him being a pric is concerning, just have to hope the presense of a strong woman like Aponte checks his ***, humbles him.

    The questions that he asks in interviews is hard to judge if we don't know the context, there's some concerns that he is prejudice against certain folks, if that is true, he'll be snuffed out and fired..

    There's really no reason to be a dick to the people in the building when you get a position like this, I mean if that doesn't humble You and make you change some ways, I don't know what will.

    This is Philbins year to show us either way..it's his third, we met the commitment..

    Honestly though....not sure you can really have it set in your mind hes gonna be all that bad either. I mean...hes gonna be the GM right, thats not changing. Why not just give the guy a chance..see what he does. I dont get the big deal. Might as well just sit back and wait either way.
