I love the "nobody is a starter in April" quote, even though it's a lie. It is true though for most positions on the field...you have to earn...

It was a super-smart move....but we gave up one of the top tackles in the league. I'm not sure if I still hate it or not, honestly. It was...

Howard could be worth 3 first rounders just like Tunsil, at which point we'd grab Surtain with the 1st of those picks and cross our fingers....

Huh....didn't think about that when we just grabbed the tackle. I wonder how much cap space we have left...and if that means a bigger name could...

Yeah, I'm definitely not trying to preach my beliefs and I completely respect those who are dead-against my viewpoints here. It really is an...

I think the govt' know up front that they wouldn't have anywhere near 100% vaccinated. I saw stats a few months ago that they believed they'd...

It drives me nuts that our most reliable WR isn't even a WR. They should offer Gisecki a minority share in the franchise on his next contract for...

Hey, I 100% agree. You pay that kind of capital for talent, you keep them in-house and develop them. Mistake #1 was drafting them...mistake #2...

Like we talked about in the other post, there's one total candidate on defense at #6...Parsons. So it's him or an offensive player. For offense,...

I agree with you and my point wasn't to make fun of him...it was simply to point out that the perception of this stud CB was a lot different than...

I've believed that all along. While I would take Pitts/Chase, I think the Fins are going to take Smith at #6 since he's the best receiver in this...

I mean, we've vaccinated 140+ million Americans already, so the argument that they're an immediate danger should be put to rest. There could...

Yeah, I don't want to debate it either. Hopefully you didn't take offense, but the "nobody I knew died" got me there for a minute. A lot of...

My best friend died from COVID after being on a ventilator for 3 weeks. 45, marathon runner, almost zero body fat with no health concerns and in...

Well, we know the long-term consequences of not taking the virus- we stay in this limbo with states partially locked down. And the other side of...

Okay, let's say we decide no WR, RB, OL or QB in the 1st round. Then what? That leaves the TE position the only thing left on offense and Pitts...

I noticed that he was getting caught from behind a good bit in that tape, so he's probably a high 4.7/low 4.8 speed. I personally love a back...

The Dolphins new training facility is supposed to be a "COVID-killer" with UV lighting and advanced air filtration throughout the building, so...

I've believed all along that there's 3+ people we're targeting with that #3/#6 pick...no idea who...but they're definitely not locked on a single...

You're right- I forgot his season rating took a big drop in the final few games. He was just a hair above average for the year in QB Rating until...

Quick update- it appears that the Texans are starting to remove Watson from their branding in team video intros and around their website. Maybe...

For me, I don't see any reason to compare Tua to Jones UNLESS we plan on drafting a QB this year. Otherwise the comparison just doesn't matter....

Does that 6 to 9 move include an extra 1st next season? Because that's the only way a move-back makes sense (since that's what we paid to move up...

With this administration, I'm less worried about the line than I have been in decades, simply because of what they look for in talent. I think...

What was his conclusion? A lot of the links you've dropped recently have seemed interesting, but I usually don't have the time to listen to a...

Overall, Smith is the best receiver in this draft. The others just have intangibles that could be more desirable than the overall talent- Chase...

At 18, I don't have any expectations. My preference would be to grab Najee Harris there but I think the Fins take BPA, trade back or even trade...

Mac Jones had the full season last year, this off-season to prepare and he will also have a training camp in the NFL. So even if you take those...

Some of the accusers have also gone public today, and I have to say at first glance they appear legitimate. Here's the 1st woman to originally...

Well, they also had a pretty solid offensive line for that entire stretch as well. Brady + Quick Release + Good Protection = very good offense...

Do you know what specifically happened with Ray Lewis? I know he was charged with manslaughter- was he convicted? Anyone know the circumstances?...

Yet towards the end of the season each year, somehow he's our WR1. That's a big factor alone...he stays healthy where our other receivers can't.

The difference is that in civil court, it can be a sealed courtroom where victims remain anonymous. That means no being named in the newspapers...

There was a criminal complaint filed on Friday and the police are investigating it...we don't know if it was one of the 22 cases though (it's now...

The Texans finally released a statement to shareholders and barely mentions Watson at all- Pretty lame if you ask me- if you can't take a real...

Not bad value for Darnold really. This is also interesting because it takes Carolina out of the Watson sweepstakes (if that's even still a thing).

I completely agree- Pitts, Chase or Sewell...one or more will be on the board at #6 and all are excellent long-term value. If the pick ends up...

Yeah, I feel the same way...just not something I can get past. However, a part of me wonders if he does get traded in the next few weeks if all...

I watched some more film on my lunch break today and the consistent theme I kept hearing on Smith is how intelligent he is in destroying coverage...

Very accurate analogy!

That's pretty interesting. So you score a 4th quarter TD, kick the extra point and then opt to take the ball on your own 25 yard line for a 4th...

I completely agree. A lot of folks are talking about trading up for Waddle/Smith with that #18 pick, but I think it makes a lot more sense...

His size is over-emphasized because there's four or five pure studs in this draft and you have to nit-pick to find the best of the bunch. I think...

I agree with you that the vast majority of these girls probably weren't licensed therapists and some were sought out for their "happy endings."...

Sorry, but nobody is trading for DeShaun Watson before the draft. The title "pervert" is something that's very difficult to ignore and I'd put...

His 3rd or 4th step was off there...meaning he's actually a hair faster than that time.

Tough one- sure, the catch radius from Pitts is mega-attractive. But Chase breaks tackles and opens up big gains off of short passes. Waddle is...

Aah, okay...I hadn't heard that. Gainesville is pretty bad for the parting and drug scene, lots of undesirable areas within just a few miles of...

If we can move up from 18 using the 2023 1st rounder we just acquired, then yeah...roll the dice. We started at 3 and 18, so I couldn't complain...

Curious how Toney tests/grades out....I'm really intrigued by him as well. Very dominant playmaker.

Pitts CAN BLOCK, but his gift is being evasive for such a huge guy. For instance, you'll see him step at the edge rusher on the snap, sort of...

To overly-simplify the differences between the four- Smith- Fantastic all-around stud receiver w/ smaller frame Chase- Very physical, fight for...

People just skim over how we had the youngest team in the league with no training camp or pre-season....that's a massive factor and it would have...

I agree with everything you said. But regardless of my feelings pre-draft, Tua's my quarterback and I'll continue to root for him. Besides, I...

I think my brother told me Toney is projected at 26 overall? I've watched Florida for a few seasons now and Toney is sensational. He was a high...

I had no idea Deebo Samuels was one of the best receivers in the league- my daughters went to high school with him. You guys might recall me...

Is Burrow on track to start week 1? I haven't seen anything on him for a few months now. Edit- Burrow claims that he's ahead of schedule and...

Hey, he looked great in college with those 10-second pockets and receivers instantly pulling away from defenders. That's where my doubt came in...

I did because I can't comment on him directly as a Dolphin. He certainly has the talent...I agree with you.

And did you notice where you said it wasn't the scheme, the coaching or Tannehill's surroundings? This is the exact same thing seven years later-...

I'm disagreeing with your history of judging quickly and being dead wrong, sort of like this post from 2014- EVERY SINGLE THING you said in that...

The worst mistake we've made in the past two seasons was probably Rosen...who came from a horrible offense where he didn't really have a chance to...

And you got all that from watching Tua start a handful of games with a rookie offensive line and third string receivers? Well heck, we might as...

I don't see how it's possible to expect that level of defense every game- the turnovers and special teams scores just kept coming even though we...

That's the exact mistake that has placed us in cap hell for the past 20 years- it's not a sustainable path and they're not interested in being a...

Were you paying attention this off-season? QB's were flying from team to team at a record-setting pace. Watson is still up for grabs, Garappolo...

There is absolutely zero logic in the statement you made. ANY COACH could be in the hot seat in two years...absolutely anyone. I get that last...

Personally, I'd say we have an excellent WR room. Williams, Gisecki and Parker can catch anything in tight coverage. Grant and Wilson are...

I voted Pitts- clearly the highest skill player in this entire draft. I feel like he would be more dominant than Gronk almost right away and he's...

It absolutely makes sense if your target is Smith, Pitts or Parsons...#6 is the perfect slot to grab one of them. We definitely didn't move up to...

Very impressive.....basically the worst possible position to let that pass rip and he places it perfectly. Doesn't mean he'll develop but I have...

It is entirely possible that they take Pitts or Sewell...just because it's such a Jets thing to do. Darnold would benefit though if they're...

That's true, because now the #3 and #6 are out of play. #1 never was in play to begin with, the Jets need #2 too bad to trade it, so the Pats can...

This might sound insane, but the Texans will eventually have to cut Tunsil to fill out their roster. Maybe it's not this season, but once Watson...

Okay, so now 3/4ths of us were correct....but I was correct first in that 10-15 range, darn it! =)

So overall, we move from # 3 to #6 and gain an extra 1st rounder (2023) and 3rd rounder (2021). That's fair value...not the steal it appeared 10...

4 to 5 QB's are expected to go in the top 10, meaning that there will be a few "top-10" talents that make it to #12. That's who we're going to...

There was only 3 total votes here to move to 10-15, so it definitely wasn't the "expected" move by most. Was a fun community exercise for a few...

We just turned #3 overall into 3 first rounders and a 3rd round pick by moving back 9 total spots....plus there was no value selection for us at...

Excellent move by Miami- we got our two future 1st rounders and still probably in place for the remaining top receiver in this draft...but we're...

LMAO, that could mean a great day or a horrible day, depending on perspective, so your wish will be granted.

I wonder if either AFC East team (Fins/Jets) would be willing to trade with NE so they could grab a top QB. My immediate reaction would be...

Short answer- yes. We need a WR1, a WR2, and a RB on offense. Maybe a few more linemen, maybe not. Williams is a stud but can't stay healthy....

You think Toney will be off the board that early? I agree that he's a stud, but I was pegging him for the 2nd round.

Parsons still has zero votes...wonder if folks will change their vote at all after the Pro Day. Oweh is definitely more of a prospect since he...

A 246 pound linebacker running a 4.39 in the 40??!!?? That's literally unheard of.

Honestly, I hope he gets a little bit of jail time...the kid needs a serious wake-up call. The article is misleading though since the crash...

I think they should have a hybrid- players that need to be in the building (Tua, rookies, players not in peak shape, etc.) should show up to work...

I agree...no one else really jumps out as early round edge talent. A few interesting DL and CB, but defense as a whole sort of took this draft off.

We were discussing this in another thread, it really depends on how the top 12ish picks shake out. If we could pick at maybe #6 & #11, then it...

He's certainly not a great blocker...but Pitts clearly can block.

I should have clarified- I think the talent pool is large in the top 8-10 picks, plus guys like Etienne and Harris who won't be at the top of the...

The talent is massive in this draft- it just happens to all fall on the offensive side of the ball. There's a real chance that not a single...

For me, the argument over drafting a QB at #3 is not taboo...it really just comes down to film and if one player is showing something Tua is not....

I thought the same thing and didn't read them all. There's really only one "correct" answer for those types of questions- I'll work hard, prove...

Yup, he was (and probably still is) very high on Rosen's potential. I can see that viewpoint, but I can also see why they grabbed Murray. The...

Exactly...no reason to beat anyone up and it's why I tried to cover every possible option. I didn't include trading up for Lawrence because I...

Didn't watch the video before but as a pulling guard in high school and college, that WR screen was BY FAR my favorite play EVER! If the WR had...

I disagree. Perry and Bowden played special teams, receiver, a little RB and a little Wildcat QB. I do agree that we didn't need both, but I...

I'd think 6 to 8 would get more than #151...should be a late 2nd rounder (fair trade) or a 2021 1st (blood-sucking vampire move that I'd love)....

I agree, I am convinced that he's a generational talent. This draft is just one of the rare occasions where the top-10 is really loaded up with...

The ideal, dream scenario would be to trade back and Pitts is somehow still on the board. I think the draft will go Lawrence, Wilson, Fields (if...

Yup, he's a great pick and massive upside at #3...probably the safest overall pick. It's not sexy but I wouldn't be upset if that's the direction...

I completely agree- I would personally go all offense the first few rounds. But I feel like our franchise is much more focused on value and...

I'm not big on mocks this season since I do not believe that we'll pick at #3 (unless we have to). I think we'll trade back multiple times to...

Not sure if there's a story here or not. Good luck to him though...I always love a good redemption story when they unfold.

If Jordan wasn't injured right asway and suspended multiple times, maybe he would have developed early on. He was a freak athlete and had the...

To be fair, Watson is a huge upgrade over just about anyone. But that this point, with 22 accusers and growing, I don't think this story goes...

I remember back 2 seasons ago, Grant & Wilson led the league in time to separation and total separation. Not saying they could be that in 2021...

He's just a big kid- gotta grow up. With his size/talent he will get another shot, even though he doesn't deserve one.

Did it say that? I'm not positive it was the lawyer who initially reached out. I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that he was texted with the...

I would assume that teams handle these kinds of things often...you could be right though. The way I see it, all of this started with a text...

Yeah, that could be true...and the Texans could push a trade through quickly just to get away from it all. My assumption here is that the Texans...

I mean, he's saying that he's not returning either way...can it get worse than it is currently? But if this goes away behind the scenes with the...

From what I'm seeing, this trade has already completed. He's a Dolphin.

Personally, I think Pitts is the 1st non quarterback off the board...it will be him or Sewell. So I don't see him going past pick #5. He's too...

I thought one woman (the initial one) was probably in the right. I thought the next 4 were hopping on the bandwagon. Now we're at 12 and...

The theme there- young team players wanting an opportunity to prove themselves.

That tells me that we're now eyeing a center in the draft....or we have a center on our roster already. The troubled dude we just picked up last...

Well, it could be a local massage pallor that he goes to, one woman tried to get paid, then others working there joined in for the cash grab. If...

Was Fitzpatrick the leading rusher last year as well? Maybe we shouldn't be quoting $tu's Piggybank as a legit source, LOL!

No it wouldn't....Watson can only go to one team, and "trying to" sign him is not the same as signing him. It doesn't matter how all-in a team...

Because with all these splash signings by other teams, a lot of names will become available today and there won't be roster spots at the salary...

If he wants out, let him out and grab top value for him today...which I'd assume would start at two 1st rounders. I don't want to see Howard...

I think the main reason I want to sign Watson is to prevent the Jets or Pats from signing Watson. Don't think the Pats can ink the deal with...

That means someone called him and said, "Hey, give me $100k." He said, "Ummm, no." Then that person went and filed a suit in court, which Watson...

I completely agree- not signing a big name for big money makes it more likely that we address RB in the draft. For me, that's always the way to...

LOL, of course they signed our punter. Why wouldn't they? I really don't like how the AFC East is shaping out.

Well, the good news is that Watson should be traded within the next week if anything's going to happen. At this point, the only thing I'm really...

I honestly don't think I've ever seen Brissett play over the years. Don't know anything about him other than he's another journeyman who never...

I have no idea who he even is, but I'm always happy to see additional linemen signed. Wishing him luck!

One year, 10 to 12 million....

Good for him!!! I'll miss the guy but I hope that he has a great season.

I just thought about this- the Pats aren't doing this trade in good faith. We've seen photos of Godchaux and Watson hanging out recently and the...

To be fair, you haven't seen the Pats suck under Belichek for quite some time either. That probably has quite a bit to do with it, LOL!

https://www.thephinsider.com/2021/3/15/22332051/2021-nfl-free-agent-rumors-davon-godchaux-miami-dolphins-new-england-patriots-signs No numbers...

Very sad news. I played against him in high school- Dillard dominated us every year (I went to Nova). Did anyone see what illness he died from?...

Hey, you're preaching to the choir here. For me, the MLB is the 2nd most important position on the field behind the QB. I really hope he's the...

Free agency starts today, doesn't it? I have a feeling that there are going to be so many player cut that it will be almost senseless to trade.

Wow, what a surprise waking up this morning; didn't see that chronicle coming at all! I had already forgot how many times our defense scored last...

Yeah, we had Wake and Suh on that d-line when Vernon had that solid year with us. Who would have thought he was actually legit without two other...

Hey, I was beating the same drum over Alabama...with such an elite team, it was very tough to see how much was actually Tua. He wouldn't have...

For me, this stance is about two years premature. Give Tua the training camp and pre-season to figure some stuff out. It's not like he wasn't...

Here's the other side of that though- he played 4 games last year and was injured the rest of the season. Yes, he's a former pro-bowler and...

The play you're referring to was a designed play based on that CB/safety combo in zone/prevent coverage. For whatever reason, that corner was up...

Here's the thing though- I think we trade back from #3. Maybe we trade back twice since we're not highly interested in the prototypical top 5 on...

I completely agree- he deserves massive props for taking this seriously and working his tail off. I just hope he's with the right nutritionist.

I wasn't implying that he's taking steroids or HGH, but there's hundreds of banned supplements in the NFL and a large portion of them can be...

LMAO, my mind went to that as well. The YouTuber DeeStroying is trying to land on an NFL team this season and he runs a 4.6 40, I almost expected...

Oh no, I thought Matt Haack was pretty solid.

I guarantee you that he didn't mean to say that, but because he did then I have a feeling they're already fairly deep into trade talks with...

Woah, that's confirmation that they're looking at trading back; biggest news of the day. Because think about it, you can't trade back if you ship...

I agree...and I don't think there's even a slim chance we take on multiple $10M+ contracts this off-season. I'm sure we'd sign Jones for a modest...

After gutting the roster to build through the draft, I'm not a fan of any free agents period.

I thought I read somewhere that Wilson played some center in college. But to address your point directly, I think you have to look at this kid as...

I think there's going to be so many free agents available this season that it's going to be hard to get a grasp on who to look at. Lots of names...

I read a decent bit about him last night and the Titans haven't talked to him since December- it sounds like he completely melted down after...

I think you're confused here- every QB wants to start, and they're playing to get a chance at that starting role. Just look at Tannehill- he...

Before I'd say "It's Pat Mahommes", I'd point out that Chad Henne and Matt Moore both won all their games when Mahommes was hurt across the past 3...

I disagree. You have a depth chart so the next man up is always ready to start. You're basically saying to get rid of Fitz because he's too much...

Could we change the title of this thread then since it's fake news?

He's been top-5 every year in the league so far. I'm not sure how else you'd categorize him.

Watson is a proven top-3 QB in the league, plus he's young. Imagine bringing in Payton Manning in year 4 of this career....or Marino leaving year...

To be fair, I just saw a list and copied/pasted. Stan Humphries happened to be at the end. Anyone else was free to copy/paste their list without...

No worries, this is probably about the most interesting of topics we'll get in March concerning football. Looking at what you just said, let's...

Well, on the flip side of that, a player's job is simply to work hard, stay in shape and execute the plays that are called. I think the part that...

The stories I caught this morning say that he's "likely to retire." So nothing official yet, but good for him if he decides to hang up the...

I've been watching Pat for a few months now and I absolutely love the guy....he's a complete idiot and funny as can be. Hard to believe he was...

I didn't watch tons of film on Wilson but yeah, I agree....he's mega talented with that arm. I've only been watching college ball again for the...

Personally, I think contracts have spiraled out of control as well and ultimately, the fans pay for it with ridiculous ticket prices and TV deals...

1) Good point, I'd say no. You have to play out your rookie contract. More on that in a minute though. 2) That's tough, but I'd say 1st round...

At the time, I had a problem with Williams and his drug problem....until I heard the full story behind it. For those that don't know, teams are...

The draw for Lawrence is that he's a complete package, super smart and almost like a Peyton Manning type leader on the field where he sees things,...

I don't think I'd want Lawrence, even if he fell to us at #3. I want to stick with Tua while using our haul of draft picks, and I'd be okay with...

Personally, I think it's unfair that teams can end contracts at any time while players are forced to honor them. Look at Watson and how badly he...

I saw this on Yahoo Sports today as a potential trade scenario- "The Texans trade Watson and pick up Miami's No. 3 and No. 18 overall picks along...

From my journalism/marketing experience, I can tell you that this is sort of a stop-gap position that's not what most would think. She gets...

[IMG]

I agree. With the way names are being thrown around and so many QB's finding new homes, I wouldn't be in an immediate rush to sign anyone....

If I had to guess, we made the move anticipating to make a run at Watson...or they felt Van Ginkel was a suitable replacement on the cheap. The...

Immediate thoughts? No, no, no, no and no. Re-sign Fitz (ideal) or draft a rookie to backup Tua (scary).

My concern since day one was that building a "perennial championship contender" means you have to nail almost everything perfectly every time...

Actually, it's terrible reporting by Cameron Wolfe since it screws us over in a possible trade. Once you report that we're cutting him if we...

I agree, there was definitely a sudden change in direction for whatever reason. That tells me moves are coming at the start of free agency and I...

My brother is a huge Gators fan so I caught a lot of their games the past two years. Pitts is an absolute stud and I'd love to have him as well;...

I can't say that I understand this move, but I am guessing it's due to the salary cap reduction and the desire to get younger. Van Noy served his...

That was what I thought we should do last year- grab Hurts and aim for Trevor this season if he didn't pan out. I didn't expect Hurts to play...

That's exactly my point though- he wasn't expected to be lights-out in 2020 and the franchise made it very, very clear that they'd be taking it...

I just don't understand these types of topics. Tua basically played half a season coming off serious injury with no off-season prep and no...

I trust in Flores as well, he's a great leader of men (and not in the Philbin way). It is way too early to anoint him though; we've had one...

Of course we need a backup, LOL. And of course it's not going to be a rookie (maybe at QB3, but not QB2). I'm hoping Fitzpatrick is back for...

Players say a lot of things in confidence- look at the report a few years ago that several players were angry at the new direction of the team....

Personally, I think the days of a "feature back" is almost over in the NFL. Not that the true studs don't have long career paths, but I look back...

The problem with free agency is that the cap numbers dropped more than expected and a lot of big surprise names are going to make it to the...

More recent in memory but easily one of my all-time favorites- [MEDIA]

Very strange situation since multiple people on the scene said Howard had nothing to do with the incident- making him a witness. But if he's a...

So remarkable that it almost worries me. Clearly he's with a trainer eating right, working out right and everything else the right way. 10-15...

That's exactly what the GM told me 30 years ago- the first person to talk loses. That lesson always stuck with me as well.

I'm not sure that's what it means at all. Miami can have all the interest in the world and Watson can be dead-set on playing for Miami, but it's...

The Panthers definitely want to upgrade, they've been involved with every QB trade so far this off-season. Same with Denver- they've been active...

I petitioned for Fitz the entire season but in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter. Tua gained critical experience and exposed...

Yeah, good for him. Averages to about 4.5M a year...he was scheduled to make about 900k this season. It doesn't say how the contract breaks down...

Personally, I think we're a quarterback away from being a Super Bowl contender. And I'm not saying Tua isn't that QB, but if we did sign Watson...

LOL, same here...I'm about 80 miles south of the stadium but have never seriously rooted for Carolina. In fact, I rooted for Manning a few years...

Umm, Carolina lost to Denver in the Super Bowl, didn't they? That was Manning's final year. Pretty sure they also played NE once in the big game.

I mean, we have the youngest roster in the league and we won 10 games. There's nothing more to really say.

I was 1,000% against Chris Grier at the start of his GM tenure, but he has slowly won me over with smart front office moves and bringing in the...

Yup, he pretty much said that the clock is winding down and it has nothing to do with his physical health. As much as I hate seeing him go, he...

Just like the last comment, this is a complete fabrication from a reporter. The Texans have said that Watson is returning and they have zero...

You've said "evil" several times here- it has nothing to do with that. This is about a top QB in his prime watching his franchise implode because...

Here's the counter to that argument. Houston said yesterday, "We're not trading him. Looking forward to speaking with him soon." So maybe they...

I completely agree- some of those picks may well miss. So far we've been pretty on-the-money though in the Flores/Grier era and this draft is...

I could make an argument here either way- to pursue Watson or pass. To be honest, it really depends on what minute of the day you ask me. But...

JJ Watt is not just another player though- he's been the face of that franchise for a very long time. Trading or cutting him would be devastating...

I'm so torn on this- on one hand, I'd hate to see him go to the Jets for multiple reasons (career-suicide, yet still gives us nightmares twice a...

I don't think the Jets are an actual contender- why would Watson want to go there when they haven't had a winning season in forever? I would have...

The first news piece I ever read that really made me like Flores was that he starts every single morning looking at the names on the waiver wire...

In a sick kind of way, my mind wants to root for Tampa as well...for that exact reason. Anything that insults the Pats makes me happy. And I...

I couldn't agree more. KC just destroyed the Bills and I honestly think the Bills are a better team than the Bucs. We'll see though- go KC!

Personally, I think it's incentive for hosting teams to do exactly what Tampa just did- bring in potential superstar vets like Brady and Suh to...

I went to Super Bowl 23 and face value on the tickets was $250-800. Even a few years ago, most seats were less than $1,000...but evidentially...

I'm seeing tickets anywhere from $8k (cheapest) to over $400k for a skybox. That's completely insane that they're drawing that much these days....

I mean, they earned the right to host and made it to the show. The opportunity has always been there and no other franchise has capitalized on it.

Here's a question- is any of the incoming quarterbacks better than Deshawn Watson? Because if Miami is passing on Watson, then there's absolutely...

I still think you're wrong about Rosen- we'll see a few years from now. While your stat is indeed correct, he played for two historically bad...

I think most people forget that Burrow and Herbert played full seasons in college, then prepped for the NFL through offseason work and combines....

If that's true, then we almost have to pursue him to prevent the enemy from landing him. Definitely changes things a litle bit.

Well, he can't just sit out next season because the bargaining agreement makes that cost-prohibitive even for a contract like his. So he could...

Yeah, there should be a poll option to take a QB in the later rounds. There's almost a zero percent chance we draft a QB in the 1st. It sends...

Well, there's no guarantees in the NFL, especially at QB, but Watson is about as close as you'll come to having a guaranteed 10+ year future HOF...

No new news over the past few days other than Houston still hasn't talked to Watson...it's been hinted that he's not returning the front office's...

I generally don't follow the "I want this player, but only if we can pick him at..." We need a stud WR and a stud RB. The value is getting the...

I read that and laughed hard- why would he be interested in going to a team worse than the one he's already on? NYC certainly has appeal due to...

Needham has enough film that he'll land on a roster somewhere. But I'm pretty confident Miami locks him down for 2-3M a year as a veteran role...

While valid, I wonder if it's time-accurate or still lags behind real world information. For instance, when LeBron came to Miami, the Vegas odds...

Very glad we promoted instead of bringing in a fresh face from outside the organization. We need that continuity.

They actually care A LOT due to market share. They know Brady at home in the Super Bowl would create all kinds of storylines and hype. They also...

The Jets have just as many resources as we do and right now, Watson is in NY. That's why that spiked yesterday. He was also seen wearing a...

I've rooted for Brady to retire like 6 years in a row. I'm constantly rooting for Brady!

I didn't see any 49ers games this season- was Jimmy G not playing well?

I like my denial, thank you very much.

It's not a bad list- but most fans would rank Watson above the majority of those names, including a few Super Bowl winners. It really is that...

All that post did was make me feel old, LOL. Vick was 20 years ago? Cam was 10 years ago? Wow!

I just Google'd it...the game is in Tampa!

Today, I'd trust a lawyer or a car salesman over a journalist...it's not even a close call which is the worst of the three. That's why I migrated...

Oh wow, it's played in Tampa?!? No team has even had home-field advantage so that's a massive deal. Now I hope the Bucs make it to the big show...

LMAO, I'm rooting for Henne bigtime if he's the starter...I doubt Mahommes will be down for three weeks though. But if the Bills do win, then I'm...

That's not what happened. The owner went to Watson and asked for advice, and said that he wanted Watson to be a part of the decision making...

If their only choices are to accept it or watch the entire franchise implode even further as Watson sits for the season or retires, they'll accept...

While I agree with you, if you gave me the choice of having our next QB have the same career as Cam or one that's completely different...I'd say...

What the stats "show" is that you can't make a true evaluation after 9 games. Cam has had several MVP-like seasons and took his team to the Super...

Caught this on Facebook; interesting perspective- [IMG]

Here's the actual story where all of this frustration came from for Watson and others in the organization. It's pretty well written and worth the...

Let me give you some perspective as a former journalist and a career writer. I could interview any of you and say, "What do you think of Tua?"...

Be careful here. I was highly against drafting Tua (even though I knew he was definitely the pick). I was highly against starting Tua this...

How would the rebuild take 3 years? We have one of the top defenses around. The line has come together nicely. Almost everyone is young as...

There's a 99.9% chance it's one of those four players if we stay put. We ARE NOT drafting a QB at 3 unless we trade the pick trade for Watson,...

Fitz also had those really tough first few weeks as all the rookies adjusted. No way Tua (or any rookie QB) finishes those early games upright....

Since I'm sensing a "last post" theme from everybody, I might as well share my final thoughts as well. When we drafted RT, I thought the front...

Disagreements from people who probably haven't seen 5 full Tennessee games over the past two seasons. I can live with that.

The story is the actual film. It's easy to debate what could be different, but it's even easier to actually look and see what's different. For...

I don't think you're getting what some here are trying to say. Let me try to make up a quick example. An average fox can run 18 miles per hour....

I'm not saying that at all- I'm saying your Miami and Tennessee data is incomplete because you're only looking at one of several factors- the QB....

I think that's the whole point though. He handles pressure a lot differently today than he did for six years in Miami. Why? How? Considering...

I agree, I'd take a 3rd round QB prospect almost every season and let them compete. The risk/reward is almost negligible when you're looking for...

When Tua had the entire 1st string offense, he looked pretty good. And the reason for that was that Preston Williams and Grant were getting...

- Tannehill went to the Titans for a 2nd round selection, then led the league in passer rating the following season. - Jimmy G went to San Fran on...

From what I've heard from other insiders over the years, Ross talks to a lot of people and makes "recommendations" on who he would hire. These...

I know people will cringe hearing this, but I wonder if Ross will extend an invitation to Adam Gase? I could see that happening.

The cap hit in 2021 would be around $10M (it's actually $15M, but 5M of that stays on Texans books since it's a bonus), then we'd take hits...

I don't think anyone here is wallowing- they're just fed up that they were told RT stinks for six seasons. And now that he's had some legit...

I like that we get to play Tannehill and Brady again, but there are some tough games there as well. At a glance, I see a 12-4 season with a solid...

Watson is entering year 5 in the NFL in 2021, which means he certainly could be a long-term answer at QB. The only way we'd consider him is if we...

You're missing a few factors here. 1) Watson has a "no trade" clause, which means he has final say on whether or not he's traded and where he'd...

I only caught small pieces of the game, but sucks they didn't get the victory.

That's the thing- it NEVER happens! Which is why everyone's thinking on our starting 2021 QB has done a complete 180. I suddenly find myself...

Yeah, I don't think anyone is implying that Tua can't/won't get there, but the odds of him being better overall than Watson are pretty darn slim....

I agree, we would only be a few pieces away and honestly, they're not huge pieces anymore when you have a QB of that caliber. I'm certainly not...

Yes, but I think people forget that Watson has all the leverage. Houston can trade him and get some compensation, or he could potentially sit out...

Major media outlets have been talking about a Dolphins link to Watson for a few days now, mainly because Grier/Flores and how they treat their...

If we look at historically good teams, they build through the draft, win a lot of football games and then sign veterans at a hometown discount so...

Good for Grant! Little fellas need lovin' too!

Okay, so I finally had a little free time to play around with the simulator with trades. My draft is: #32 overall, Najee Harris #47 Kadarius...

Houston might not have a choice. If he really wants out, then you have to ask...who do they want to start next season at QB? Fields, Tua or Sam...

I completely agree, but it's hard to base a mock draft on.

The trade simulator on the program I was using was throwing out some crazy offers- like Carolina's #8 and next year's 1st for #3, New England...

No trades since it's so hard to simulate, just picked the 1st two rounds as they fall on the board- 1a. Chase (WR) 1b. Pitts (TE) 2a. Harris (RB)...

I replied specifically to the comment "Tua never threw deep." First, he did throw deep each game and the pass was dropped every time in the...

Woah, it's very rare for WR's to get the trophy. Good for him- complete stud of a player. I hope we take him at #3 as well.

That wasn't Tua- that was Gailey giving him simple, one-man reads. Combine that with a rookie line and average receivers, and it makes sense why...

If we have another 10+ win season? Yes, that means he did a good job. It's a completely different story when you're 7-9 and ALMOST good enough...

Bah, as long as we don't hide in the spooky abandoned building, everything should be absolutely fine. Oh, and don't ever go to sleep ever...

Resignation...phew. It would have stunk if we fired him a few days after the media told him that he was fired. Good luck to him in his 2nd...

And I don't want FA receivers unless they're like the Stills situation and still on a rookie contract when we bring them in. I am very tired of...

Yeah, I'd still argue that it's the most incredible NFL pass of all-time. I mean, how do you top that throw? I don't think it's possible.

Personally, I'm not worried about Tua yet. He has some growing to do and I would definitely bring in some competition to keep him honest, but...

A case could easily be made for or against Sewell, but I would personally pass since we have bigger needs and likely a very good opportunity to...

I agree. If the Jets don't take a QB and Fields is on the board at #3, there will be plenty of suitors to take that pick off our hands. The only...

Yes, we tried that, Henne got injured and then Pennington brought us to the playoffs with that line. Once Henne returned (due to Penny getting...

Russell Wilson is clearly the exception to every QB rule in the history of the NFL. He is not a valid example unless you're discussing a freak of...

The offensive line ALWAYS has to come first. Otherwise, there's zero chance you get a good evaluation on your QB or other skill positions (for...

Burrow just looked so ridiculously poised and in control that year at LSU. Even when the pressure was insane, he just casually slid around in the...

Here's the thing- we have no idea how our front office rates the QB's in this draft....meaning, we don't need to spend #3 on a QB just because...

Absolutely- I'm not trying to say any different. But we all knew that the defense and special teams were going to have to win that game...it...

Here's the thing, when you're down multiple scores early in the game, a large part of your playbook and strategy goes out the window. The only...

Oh heck, I had my years combined. That solves that, LOL.

The CB Noah Igbinoghene. Watt was taken 30th overall.

I'd be so mad if I found out I was fired over Twitter...that's so darn disrespectful. If it's a fake account though then maybe he's not getting...

You know what those stats tell me? Why the heck didn't we draft TJ Watt over a CB with our final first round pick!?! It's not like everyone...

Bogus news report

Here's the thing though- Tua graded very high by the majority of the football community, including our front office. They thought he was a...

I never said any of that. Again, I was against drafting him to begin with- but that does not make him the biggest bust of 2020 after starting 10...

To each his own, I guess. Many of us here actually talk about the present and the future.

You posted one person's opinion with an extremist view (biggest bust in 2020 NFL draft). You'll find few here who agree with that statement- even...

I get that, but we can't change the past and there's no sense dwelling over what we could have done differently. It's a lot more productive to...

The fact of the matter is that Tua is our QB today- there's no sense in playing the "could have, should have" games. I mean, we "could have" kept...

I wanted Jalen Hurts as a long-term project off of a 3rd round pick...much different path than taking a guy at #5 overall. Nobody expected him to...

Sanders. Van Ginkel.

Are you saying that you're 'FULLY 100% CONFIDENT' in Tua? That was his statement and I agree with him. I want Tua to work out as much as the...

LOL, Josh Rosen...with the final pick in the 2nd round last year!

He's always been like that...he'll get leveled and then pop right back up. Lots of folks here can't stand RT, but not a single one of them can...

Whelp, it's that time of year again where I swap out my Fins jersey for Tennessee Titans #17! Go Titans!

Some of the talking heads media is making a case for Justin Fields #1 overall since he outplayed Lawrence in the playoff game. If the Jets don't...

My brother is a huge Gators fan so I watched them the last two years pretty extensively. Starting last season, Trask was inaccurate and hesitant...

I just love the Sunday hot takes. Honestly, I'm still not in love with Tua but I thought he did "okay" today based on the circumstances. He...

Nope, what I'm saying is that the Vegas odds mean nothing...it's based on speculation over the prior season. How could they possibly predict what...

That's not true AT ALL. Vegas odds are determined by the volumes of bets on both sides of the equation. If it tilts too much to one side, the...

He ended the drive with an INT because time ran out, he just marched us over 100 yards in the final minutes, and it was literally fire for the end...

Expected by who? Do you mean the media who couldn't name our five best players over the past decade? Those guys? The point here is that good...

I've watched Lawrence and Etienne for three seasons now, on average catching 8+ games per season. They are both the real deal and will have long...

The heck with all that- I'll be upset if they lose just like everyone else will. I still think Cleveland will lose as well, it's just the...

I would argue that Fitzpatrick was more valuable for Miami last year than Tannehill was for Tennessee. Why? Because we had zero protection, zero...

I completely agree- the pressure IS NOT on Tua at this point to produce perfect monster games. At the same time though, the pressure is on the...

I'm not sure how you can look at the Raiders or the Broncos game and say Fitz did not out-perform Tua in those contests. Additionally, writing...

That's my exact dream scenario...probably won't happen but I'd be thrilled if it played out that way.

Again, to the Miami staff, it was Tua the entire time. If that was the wrong move then it is what it is, but you're acting like Tua has no chance...

That was my thought process as well. Draft Jalen Hurts in the 3rd, give him a brief audition while Fitz does his thing in 2020, then key on...

This is a serious gut punch...I almost wish Tua would test positive since they'd cancel the game and the playoffs switches to 8 total teams.

Well, my theory was Miami and Baltimore were the two teams to avoid- which the #3 & #4 seed would face if everyone won. If Miami loses and...

I'm sort of in that camp as well...not that I didn't like him, but I watched that Alabama offense just steamroll everyone due to much better...

Okay, I think I fully understand this puzzle now and it all has to do with the Steelers (#3 seed), us (#5 seed) and the Ravens (#6 seed). The...

With our depleted WR corps, I was curious if we'd sign him again as well.

The video does not show "Tua not seeing the field." The video shows Tua playing conservative and not trying to force passes into very fast...

The quick answer is that if everyone wins, Indy is out- Miami clinches playoff berth with: MIA win OR BAL loss OR CLE loss OR IND loss OR MIA...

Aww &$@*!!!

LOL, I appreciate that. But to be fair, I said if the defense fully developed as expected (they did), the line developed quickly (they did) and...

That's not true- the league has already said that the Raider's receiver pushed off on that 1st touchdown (should have been called) and then they...

Is that a lack of talent though, or just a lack of experience? Tua could definitely throttle up in Alabama and the ironic thing is, we actually...

I would look to trade down or take the nation's top WR at #3-5 (Chase, Smith or Waddle). The thing is with 3 elite WR's in this draft, one of...

My thoughts- don't touch veteran receivers. Too many solid ones in the draft this season to choose from.

One other aspect to consider- Herbert is on a 6-win team and trying to put up 40+ a game to remain competitive. In other words, he's forced to...

I don't know- both Parker and Williams have had some elite moments these past two seasons. I agree with Grant, he's a specialist and not a 3 down...

The ones he looked great, we had Parker, Williams and Gisecki with guys like Grant as your #4 option. Let's be fair here...all four of those...

The way I see it, from here on out Fitz will take the field when we're behind in games and Tua is not moving the offense. I think both players...

If that holds, then hopefully no snow on the ground and no snow falling. That would be a major blessing for us.

Great job as usual- I actually learn more on our "bad plays" than good ones since it helps me understand the thinking process of the QB more and...

I've been thinking about this hard over the winter break and the answer is yes, we can win in Buffalo. In fact, we have one of the more...

You know, it kills me that we didn't take his little brother a few years ago in the draft....little Watt is showing out just like big Watt did....

That would be pretty funny- the Jags come out and win like 44-10, only to prove that they were Losing for Lawrence but really had an okay team....

The announcers made it pretty clear that Tennessee was way out of their element in snow- receivers running sloppy routes because they couldn't get...

Here's something else to consider though- if you give starters a week off, maybe they visit with family or go out on the town for the night. Then...

I hate to say this, but I almost feel bad for Houston. They vastly overpaid for the best LT in the game and then the team basically falls apart....

What it means is if Cleveland, Baltimore or Indy loses next week, we're in regardless of our game. And if we win, then we keep the #5 slot and...

Well, the Titans are #4 and we're #5, so if the season ended today that would be the WildCard game.

Because he might not want that- he has about a dozen kids and his wife is pushing him to retire.

I don't think the issue is actually there- not with this team. Tua realizes he's not 100% there yet and Fitz realizes that his job is to be a...

That's true, didn't think about that aspect. So if we're rooting for your 3 games (which are all very possible), then the only game left to help...

Been on the Playoff Machine goofing around this morning, and here's what I want to happen today- The Jets shock Cleveland (Miami moves to #6...

Or 2020 Miami Heat vibes? The ultimate Cinderella story is unfolding right in front of our eyes.

There's actually a chance for us to move up to #5 or 6 in the seeding if the Steelers and a few others handle business this weekend. Really...

I told my dad entering the 4th that Miami wasn't going to win that game with Tua, but I had serious doubts that Flores would bench him. That's...

That's going to be a super tough call and I'm very glad that I won't have to make it.

I felt like we would have to see Fitz at some point to win, but I honestly didn't expect Flores to go there....very bold call. That last pass by...

Quick update on what we're rooting for this weekend. As it stands today, we own the #7 slot and we have a tie-breaker over the Ravens. If we win...

I actually fell asleep TWICE waiting for them to try coming back. Luckily, Die Hard came on HBO at 8PM...now it feels like Christmas again. =)

I know we're getting to see the Fins a day early, but because of the holiday and already having a few days off, this kickoff feels like it's...

The thing is, it really doesn't matter- none of it. Let the haters hate and the talking heads talk. Miami has proven all of them wrong two...

What would be truly crazy is if we met them in the playoffs- so many storylines there and so much motivation for both teams to win. I would love...

Hold up, LOL! The Jets beating the Browns is actually the more important of the two AFC games. So while it's fine to say, "Go Pats!" once in a...

Hopefully you gave him a ten day timeout. I know it's against forum rules for you to talk about that, but I would genuinely like to see him...

I think we beat the Raiders by a decent margin this weekend as we dial up pressure on Mariota. The ground game will continue but hey, we might...

There's a massive difference between a great offensive line and an average line. But even if you fall into that "really good" category, people...

Oh, neither have I...not by a longshot. Both Perry and Bowden are very specific skill-set players that require some creativity to maximize their...

Very nice breakdowns...I think you get better every week in terms of the game within the game and little nuggets the average viewer wouldn't...

I like Bowden on the field because it creates so many additional opportunities to get creative. He's pretty much what I was hoping Perry to be.

It's killing me that I can't think of an appropriate, yet really sassy line to quote from Elf. So I'll share this instead. [MEDIA]

LMAO, trolling for a few hours per season doesn't make you a 10-year member. Please don't insult the folks here who have been actually...

Again, this is a conversation for two weeks from now. It's great you beat our rookie team in week two by three points- but we aren't that team...

Which clearly should have come back since our gunner was grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground. The refs flat-out gifted that TD to KC.

It was absolutely the offensive line blowing open huge holes, but Salvon also bounced several out to the perimeter and made linebackers miss at...

1) Rookie Tua > Rookie Allen, it's not even close in comparison. Let's have this conversation again in a few years. 2) Miami's D > Buffalo's...

That's pretty rough...we activated him last week and he never played (that I saw). It must not be a talent thing with him.

The good news about the Giants is that even though they're only 5-9, they're one game out from winning the division. So they're bringing...

LMAO, it's not over yet with two weeks to go, but I have no idea how Adam Gase didn't somehow sabotage the game to earn that L. That had to be...
