How's that? We win division tiebreaker with one and conference tiebreaker with the other.

Matt Cassell was about what?

I'd prefer to inhouse the process with a young guy. Sometimes when you do that you can both keep pressure on your starter's salary a little and if...

I think ESPN's tool was probably looking at it as us being ahead of both Pittsburgh and Baltimore for the moment with neither having played this...

You need 2 QBs in this league.

This team can go 6-2 over the back half of the season, and it needs to. That either means taking care of business with the division schedule,...

This is a division we can win. I do agree the wild card is pretty brutal. The Colts and Broncos appear all but locked in right now. The North of...

It would still be wise to pick up a good upside guy in around the 2nd/3rd/4th range, not because of his play but because this is an ugly league...

I don't know what game you all are watching. We pulled him for Matt Moore...in exactly the only circumstance I want to see Moore on the field....

Statement game. *sarcasm on* I knew that guy who wanted to blow up this mediocre team in the thread this week was right. We're going nowhere....

Robert Smith of the Vikings also left with a lot in the tank. In fact, I think he had a ton left in his tank. He quit after his best season. I...

Oh my things just got real. The one I love so much I'd leave is very possibly ready to commit. She and I have history and I've always felt there...

His wife may also be making an appropriate rational decision. There is no indication I have heard that Rice has ever been abusive to her or anyone...

I think the max he will be able to hold him is applying after week 6, getting approval just before week 7, and playing around week 8. What Goodell...

Ray Rice playing football starting in October some time should have to do with how good a football player he still is. I have faith it will. ETA:...

If so they're running a serious risk of antitrust violation as I understand antitrust law.

They don't get to play the ostrich and pretend the second video is a revelation. That's horrid shameful behavior. The league doesn't get to be...

Fwiw in 2 hours in our appropriate court today we have seen 2 get dispositions akin to what Rice got and one person who failed. Three others iirc...

The NFL is actually more of a cartel or association at least where employing the players is concerned. The only reasons they can ban him are in...

It's not wrong to can him. It's wrong to tell the AC union he can't ever work again.

The Ravens had every right to cut him and teams individually have the right to say no thanks. Michael Vick is employed in this league. If he has...

The league and team were either willfully blind or are telling lies. That doesn't remotely play and I think it should take Goodell down....

The proper punishment for this isn't an indefinite ban. It's probably four games which should probably be default punishment for a number of ills...

I do. Likely the biggest one is GPS tracking with serious teeth that serve to allow any cop to arrest the guy for violating where he is or isn't...

I deal with this stuff on a pretty regular basis. IMHO Ray did himself a disservice by taking a deal that gave him a walk. If he did a couple...

If Ray Rice went to prison he'd have a few guys who would want to have the notoriety of doing something to Ray Rice, a lot of fans, and a lot of...

The charges get dropped after a year. If he is a dumbass and doesn't complete the program and stay out of trouble, he could certainly to prison.

Goodell should resign over his lack of leadership this offseason. Up until now he has done a credible job, but it's a ****show with the Redskins...

Lazor will be a Dolphin this season, the next, and maybe one after that depending on the job openings. If he's really good that's about all you...

I think it was putting their thumb on the scale in a self serving way. They look better if he's on a team. Look how the NBA looked. They didn't...

I think a lot of this Tony Stewart shows up at your track to race stuff has been viewed very innocently until now. There's a tradition at least of...

No, this was a tiny event with poor lighting. The series requires dues and is a club. The rules do not mention spotters at all.

I put the % at 33 Stewart 67 Ward. What rule does New York follow? Pure comparative?

Ward accepted precisely that risk when he violated well established racing and safety protocol if not explicit track rules by introducing himself...

If you elbow a guy playing dirty in a pick up game and he cracks his skull when he goes down my belief is you likely would not be prosecuted. It's...

This is dirt. It's like driving in snow/ice. Often your best option for control is maintaining speed. Sometimes it is hitting the gas. Rarely is...

His team? This is a sprint car race on a dimly lit track. I see no reason to think anybody gave the drivers any notice. The 45 right ahead of...

Intent to advance on him to express his displeasure. Perhaps he was planning to throw this helmet. That has happened a lot. The rules of the...

Ward also advanced on Stewart and was the one with clear intent here. And in dirt track racing, throwing up dirt/mud is part of what racers do.

Formula One drivers don't always avoid cars, and they're driving very different machines in very different contexts with very different assistance...

Attempting to race today and particularly Greg Zippadelli's statement about it being "business as usual" were incredibly wrong. I don't think...

I'm late to this, but here are my thoughts. * Unless Stewart made some statement that actually suggests he had an intent to harm (injure) Ward or...

I was with you amiright?

Man, you guys know how to make a guy smile. I gotta tell you it's quite a tale I have, but there's not going to be any offing anybody or any...

D'oh! Done.

I thought I might bump this thread with my own stuff for anybody looking around. I may be the poster boy for undiagnosed ADHD. I'm a bizarre mix...

The lawyers always win. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

People projected in the 4th sometimes don't even get drafted so I don't see too much to laugh about. That said, I think he'll definitely be...

I could see the league cutting a deal with us where if we trade Pouncey away to gut the team of everyone with involvement, they'll take the next...

There are people who condoned it who weren't caught in this report because they played it smart. They may be few in number, but I don't trust the...

I think basically I feel the opposite you do about Philbin and Tannehill. Tannehill is a second year player with a lot on his plate. I can...

:up: Oher?

Those teams don't have a giant need for Martin that a different one does. I think really he very possibly will end up with Harbaugh...in...

Oh, I agree. If this team has any racists, homophobes, or bullies left and we do this, they'll be exposed. Will they be exposed in a manner that...

A 2 dollar bill exists. They'll look at you a lot less funny if you say 3 dollar bill.

A lot of the people involved are still rostered. Even once they're gone, a lot of people who probably did know about this stuff and let it...

This is the last team that needs Sam. It's a locker room in crisis. If it goes badly, it would have the potential to devastate the team and give...

Excellent point. I think people saying hes not racist are talking about racism against black people. I am not convinced on that topic, but it is...

The talk of physical violence against Martin for "snitching". I know how the jail works (quite well). I don't find it acceptable for the same...

With Martin, sure. With the trainer, I think it went way too far and they're not entitled to that defense.

Tell me that's a typo. :lol:

You have the right to say what you want without the government keeping you from saying it (for the most part...you can't yell fire in a crowded...

That's true, but it's a lot more like any other job than it is high school antics. It's a job where you're famous and you get coddled and laid and...

Do you know who Louis C.K. is and how his act goes?

Did you do that at the job you had when you were 28? Incognito is 30. People wax nostalgic about these sports because they think back to their...

About how often you masterbate? You must be a real joy at the job.

That exchange in and of itself suggests to me saying he was a follower is too charitable.

Yep, I don't care if Ross himself has to come down and play on the line, Pouncey needs to be ****ing gone.

I know this is hindsight but I think the same applies in foresight. You don't just abandon your strongly held belief and do nothing in that...

That's exactly why it has changed. There was an entirely different attitude from the top down about this in the mid-90s than there is today. In...

Eh. They should be, but I think this thing has been branded already. This is the Martin-Incognito thing.

Yes. Perhaps not enough but yes.

Yeah, I love listening to Louis C.K. I DON'T ACT LIKE HIM IN THE WORKPLACE

We're coming up on 20 years since then. The world has changed.

I don't think he turned a blind eye as much as he sulked because he didn't get his way in terms of releasing Incognito. He more took his ball and...

We get that and are saying he should have called attention to the issue.

Particularly when the bank teller is known in the community as a scumbag and has recently assaulted a customer with a golf club.

If Martin doesn't sign with the Niners and Jim Harbaugh, I think a very natural fit could be with his brother John in Baltimore.

None of the implicated players or coaches will be able to touch Philbin unless they have video proof of him being told.

I just wrote out essentially the same point and posted it right above you. Great minds...

Fame, All of that said, this is the narrative the NFL is embracing. I think firing Philbin now (or even before) could have actually exposed the...

There is a way to send the right message without doing anything to the draft. In fact I think you can explain that away as Goodell by pointing out...

I think Miami saves themselves a draft pick penalty by firing everybody who needs to be fired and giving Martin an outright release (with...

This is pretty much where I am at. I get that he wanted to get rid of Incognito but Ireland pulled rank. It seems like he went with turning a...

If he rode Incognito maybe he could have saved Pouncey a lot of trouble. I agree with you about Philbin can't go stand next to Incognito in the...

Well, this just shows Incognito is a genius. Maybe at that point he should have thought WTF maybe this is going too far. I will say this much for...

So given that why the **** didn't Philbin ride Incognito personally as hard as he could? He should have been his ****ing shadow, not completely...

That's the one saving grace here. This was amazingly inappropriate and wrong, but it wasn't at least toward Martin done with hostile intent....

It is very clear from this that he has very little to do with the actual coaching of the team from the findings. Why do we have him?

If it is, it won't be. The NFL has image problems in certain quarters, and it's time for highly compensated professionals to act in a way that is...

Incognito deserves an indefinite (but not technically lifetime) suspension. Jerry and Pouncey probably deserve eh maybe 8 games (and an...

As far as the Bucs...they suck as an organization too. Maybe they didn't see what they had in this guy or maybe another terrible organization know...

I'm starting to pine for the Rick Spielman era.

To put a finer point on it, if Tampa and Miami want the same person, Miami is very likely to get that person unless Ross just won't pay the going...

This is a large part of why I think though it's unconventional letting the GM have a lot of say in filling the OC position would have been a good...

I'd prefer Heckert (frankly because he's been my guy forever at this point), but this guy does also look very impressive.

He was going to get RG3 but Holmgren was the one who killed that. RG3 was a highly acceptable call to make even with Shanahan squandering him. I...

YUP Tom Heckert Jr!!! Heckert did a great job with the Browns and was unjustly fired. He worked very well under Reid in Philadelphia. He can...

So in the Interesting News thread let me ask an Interesting Question... You get control of the Dolphins for one day. You can fire Ireland....

Don't ask me what I'm thinking re: timing. I think I'm thinking of that round of post-draft veteran signings that happens but yes that's not free...

I think Ireland will be retained through the draft and then immediately replaced before free agency. It just has that smell to me. If you're...

I'm looking at it from a what's in it for Brad Childress perspective when I say that. I think every former HC is really probably looking for that...

Brad Childress seems like the sort of guy who would be willing to take this job. He comes from a similar if not identical coaching tree. He's not...

I think most GMs would probably be open to the idea that Philbin should probably stay on and if he fails the GM gets to replace him after next...

See, if we were talking coaching staff I'd agree. We're talking the GM. He's the guy who is supposed to make sure there are no holes. He's the...

I think that's exactly what I was thinking of. I wouldn't necessarily hate seeing Ireland handle our draft since it's his scouting department...

I am not saying that this is absolutely the truth, but is there perhaps a school of thought that bringing in a new GM now might be more disruptive...

I'm very intrigued given the success of the Chiefs with the research he has evidently done to help the offense AND defense with integrating...

Tom Heckert is the guy we want. I have a gut feeling he'll keep Philbin which if that's what Ross wants is all the more reason he's our guy. He...

If Ireland is retained after all this, we hunker down and wait for the next owner after Ross.

He's also a saint to have dealt with all that crap for as long as he did.

I will support the team no matter what. If Ireland is not fired, I will no longer support Mr. Ross.

Tom Heckert Jr. as GM, his fall DUI be damned. He has team ties, did a good job with the mess that were the Browns, and the Browns were idiotic to...

Bad luck with the always scrappy Ravens and the AFC West in that you can pencil in two losses to the Broncos and Chiefs. Good luck IMHO with the...

I'm thinking it's a perfect way for the new GM to motivate Philbin while insulating his guy (who in this hypo would be Chud) from having to come...

Gus is IMHO going to bust Florida State in the mouth and win a championship. He's staying whether I want him to or not. Yes he could do it. Nick...

Eh, kind of. I really think it was a **** it the historically best SEC job is mine for the taking meanwhile I'm busting my *** for this NFL...

It could happen particularly if the GM gets to decide Philbin's fate and wanted Chud. It's not a high probability thing, particularly since Chud...

I don't disagree with this, but I still think it makes him what I said it did.

This type of talk is why I not only think it won't happen that he moves I am rooting against it. The NFL is brutal. A SEC head coach who...

That saves Philbin but not Ireland. Ireland is the reason Philbin didn't have that. He goes under that logic.

I don't think Malzahn is moving. Somebody will hire Jay but it won't be us. It's virtually certain IMHO it will be: 1) Philbin 2) The new OC's...

Chud as OC won't happen, but it would be awesome if it did.

Andy Reid is a man among many boys in the HC ranks. He looks like a walrus perhaps but what he has done KC is stone cold awesome. The man pisses...

For those of you with short memories, I'll give you a few things to support why Heckert is a good idea for our next GM:...

Eh, maybe if he were a 5th year QB I'd think hey we have Donovan McNabb on our hands here. I'm not that concerned.

Kubiak would be welcome on staff as a position coach. Nothing more.

Tom Heckert Jr. He got a bad shake in Cleveland and has Dolphins ties. Let him decide Philbin's fate and go from there.

Mike Wallace decided to be Mike Wallace today, too. Then again, can you blame somebody who is known for it when it happens?

Here's the problem with that. Virtually every fan is going to swear by whoever the coach was when their team won titles. Additionally, I can't...

Ireland and Sherman are no brainer 100% locks to be gone. You hire the GM. If the GM says he can't work with Philbin OR has a guy of his own he...

Five in the 4th? We can do better than that. Who else can we trade before tomorrow? :lol:

**** Bills took Goodwin. That guy has a whole other gear. Too bad they won't have anybody decent to throw to him. :lol:

He didn't, but screwing up when you're getting paid six figures is a special type of idiot.

Yeah, that's not a horrid deal. A straight swap was pretty much so pointless it was making me angry.

Man Honey Badger sounds dumb as a box of rocks, but I root for the kid. I hope he doesn't go idiot.

I couldn't take the Sparano era and learned to rarely come here in those days.

****, no Honey Badger for us.

I do wonder why the guy couldn't at least be traded to a NFC team given how little was gained.

Is Hartline accompanying him there or something?

I wish they didn't take Geno. If they handle him right, he could become an Aaron Brooks type QB. Oh wait, it's the Jest -- his career is ****ed....

Whether the comments were smart or not, I'm sort of glad to know he felt about the guy the way any sensible person would feel about him. Hopefully...

Is this like that trade up you were talking about last night in the latter part of the first round, Ronnie? :p ETA: He's worth enough to keep...

Bwahahahaha

Rams didn't get fleeced. They paid proper value. The Dolphins got a ****ing steal.

When you see the run of WRs later in the round I'm expecting, it will become all the more obvious.

**** Gruden. He's only good at goldbricking Tony Dungy's work.

Really? If so, we *** ****ed the Raiders.

So either we just said **** you Chiefs you want a trade it's the later 2 or **** you Chiefs you won't trade with us we'll do this.

The premise here is that there would be an October trade assuming Garrard comes back. Trades like that rarely happen in the NFL.

It's the stated timing that is such a big problem. If the team were in a position to move him today, maybe Moore has value. It has to be an injury...

That's not more than a month from now, and Tavaris Jackson is a bit more versatile than Moore is (not better, more versatile).

My expectations are quite low due to starting a rookie QB. That's not a great way to do much, historically.

What is it that is oft said? I think it's to be the best you have to beat the best? This thread is akin to say South Carolina fans wanting to...

Do the Jets have any, you know, lawyers on staff? Are they so incompetent that they can't even figure out what snag the Jaguars hit? I think the...

It does stray a bit from this topic, so let's haul it back in by saying this does come at a price. It's type of thing a responsible agent is going...

That's not the issue. The issue is bringing somebody in just to insult them with a lowball offer. Just let the guy sign with Seattle and spend...

Miami is farther east than Indianapolis or any other team that could be moved. The Steelers or Ravens are the most logical choices for geographic...

If it was indeed strategy, yes, this would be an example of good Ireland strategy. Bad Ireland strategy would be lowballing Flynn for no good reason.

This is the most incompetent front office I have ever seen. Give up all hope now. :p I don't really think this is worthy of a thread type news,...

Joe Philbin isn't the one calling the shots on our draft, guy who is calling others idiots. That'd be Jeffy Ireland.

If Philbin is a 2 or 3 years and then out guy, Ireland will go along with him and somebody will get total control. Ireland might not make it that...

A GM is not generally speaking involved in coaching hiring decisions. Of course a coach has to meet a certain budget for his assistants, but that...

Little do they know that Ireland has been setting this con up ever since he started asking prospects if their mothers are whores. It's all coming...

The odds of that given the track record of Ireland are about 10 to 1 in favor of Miami being adrift with no ****ing idea what to do.

It doesn't leave that impression at all when the team isn't even competitive in most of those races. When the team is lowballing Flynn, it makes...

That's fine. I wasn't sold on Flynn myself. I'm just saying they owed him the respect of knowing a lowball offer wasn't going to do it versus what...

I'm trying to say that lowballing Flynn makes the team look like *******s and reduces the chances of other talented free agents considering Miami...

You just explained why if they're trying to be all "tricky" it's not going to be Tannehill. The way things have gone, all eyes will be on him. The...

You're going to be perplexed with it when Coples is the pick.

Gus is actually a pretty good benchmark for Garrard. Garrard had a better career all told, but Miami didn't get Frerotte after he had been out of...

1) Given this offseason and recent team history, I wouldn't call the draft coming up a good thing. The power of this front office to disappoint is...

We'd be signing the whole Ginn family.

That doesn't justify lowballing Flynn or the reported offer to Smith. If the team can't afford what Seattle is clearly already talking about, no...

Of course not, Section. Ireland is just getting warmed up and is going to own this mother****er from here on out. Didn't you just read that above?

Oh, I see. Ireland has been setting us up all the time so the rest of the NFL thinks this team is run by idiots so he can have a brilliant run the...

Ooh, then Ireland could move somebody in a trade for Leftwich with the Steelers and we could have the whole set of Jags QBs of the past!

He's a QB who was not on a roster last season. I know he was statistically impressive in Jacksonville on occasion and was real football impressive...

Lowballing people (Flynn) and making ridiculous offers to others (Smith) outpaced by the ridiculous offers of other teams is not what I call...

Exactly. For me, this isn't about the player signed. It's about the tenor of this entire offseason so far. If it's all posturing as some defend,...

Agreed, agreed, and the first rounder is getting used on Coples based on several factors if you ask me. Your suggested next location for Ireland...

We clearly have the best front office in football. **** that. We have the best front office in all of sports. Nah, not strong enough. Next time GM...

2013 is supposed to be a half decent draft class as I understand it. Nah, Miami will pick like 9th just like every suckass year.

Yep, that sounds like this team.

Don't worry -- they'll figure out a way to screw even that up.

Sure, but it's no Jason Campbell signing (yes I know the Bears scooped him up). It's sort of sad it comes down to this, but it could be much worse...

If the alternative is Tebow, consider me on the Alex Smith bandwagon. At least Alex Smith has strengths that match the system being implemented.

With that, he was pretty mediocre, too. He has exactly the same number of 3000 yard seasons Jay Fiedler had.

If that's your concern with me in particular, don't let it be. I know there is ****ty reporting out there. I take it all with a grain of salt.

First of all, I'm sharing my opinion here? Stunning. What do you think this forum is here for? I think your point about meeting with FA QBs in...

That seems far fetched to me and in fact almost insulting to the fanbase if indeed that was their thought. In fact, that smacks of covering up for...

I was open to Flynn but understood the risks. In general, give me an unknown quantity over a known mediocre quantity. Nothing about Alex Smith...

I just see no reason why the team would have brought Flynn in if he weren't coveted by Philbin. It would be doing Flynn a favor and driving his...

Bernie Kosar isn't doing much these days.

Alex Smith is not a player who interests me at all. One 3000 yard season? No thank you.

I'm not trying to be all doom and gloom. I'm just trying to see this for what it is: not a positive sign. Manning might suck or might have to...

Given the owner's quote referenced in this thread and everything we seem to know, it is not reasonable in my opinion to conclude that there was...

:lol: That's a pretty low stress approach! By the same token, that's pretty reasonable in all honesty. There is no reason for us to ever sweat...

If it were the latter, the team could have chosen to distance itself from Flynn. They didn't. The only reason they wouldn't have done that would...

This looks really bad. The team clearly targeted both Flynn and Manning, and they lost out on both. I can even see a narrative developing that in...

Marty Booker 9 TDs 2005-6 Brandon Marshall 9 TDs 2010-1 QED

Somebody needs to learn the difference between **** and shinola.

Clearly there isn't a plan in place. The measure will be whether a plan is devised to do so. My guess is that Miami will do okay based on the free...

It's funny you say that. There isn't a whole lot of daylight between the two based on the stats. Sure, Marshall chewed up more yards with his...

Really? Who? Oh, you meant Brandon Marshall. That's funny. Really. We got pretty much what he's worth.

Cancer seems harsh. I think malcontent is about right. He clearly wasn't enjoying himself once the team started badly last year and made his...

He was a malcontent. The fact that two seconds became two thirds given his performance and the other baggage he has seems like we did okay there.

When I saw thinking outside the box, I figured we were talking about having scientists assemble the first break dancing, country and western...

If Manning sells season tickets, he will be a Redskin. Snyder is far more about that than Ross. He had to tear down part of his stadium last year....

If Rodgers wouldn't really miss Philbin, the statement wouldn't look like that. One of the things I like best about Rodgers is that he has a solid...

I agree, but if you're considering making that move it makes a good amount of sense to bring in a coach with experience with him who can tell you...

If the team were going to make a run at Flynn anyway, Philbin was the best choice. Even if it's not a Flynn thing, I'll give the guy a chance.

There are few people I can think of this team could hire who I would give an immediate endorsement to. I wouldn't have even given Fisher an...

Interim is one thing, and permanent is another. Mind you, I think a lot of the potential awkwardness might have passed due to how that worked out....

It seems unlikely to me that Zimmer would be comfortable with using Nolan as a DC unless the two have experience working together that I don't...

The mention of Nolan being under contract suggests to me that there are situations where the candidate has expressed interest in keeping Nolan...

A warm sixer of Keystone and two tickets for Elvis at the will call?

That's actually very sensible and gives me some optimism...

Barf, just Barf

From what I see, I think the team technically even has to grant permission on a promotion. I think what prevents that from being an issue is that...

I'm just sad he didn't wait longer so some newspaper on a quiet news day could go with the front page headline: FISHER CUT BAIT

After looking at some stuff online, I think perhaps it's just not as black and white as any of us are suggesting. It seems to have a lot to do...

I don't think it's quite as liberal as described. My understanding was more that a team could have one Assistant Head Coach who under the lateral...

I'd prefer Toub with Toub picking a new OC and promoting Bowles to DC.

Isn't there some BS way you can give a coordinator a "promotion" to Assistant Head Coach and therefore interview and hire somebody under contract?

I was at the Redskins game. I know it can happen. It just mostly doesn't.

The only argument against it being the opener is that I tend to think the NFL prefers to stay within conferences for the opening week. I could see...

It's a perceived artificial scarcity situation. There was only one pretty obvious candidate actually out there interviewing, and there were two...

It's not just the return game. His special teams have been highly regarded all around and have been highly regarded for special teams since his...

It's not just Hester.

It could be on prime time if both teams are in the playoff hunt in like week 14 and the other possible SNF games are weak. That's about all I can...

It doesn't hurt that the guy with the resume most like his I can think of is John Harbaugh.

If it's opening week, there is no way they're making it a prime time game. It probably wouldn't even be a 4 PM game in that scenario.

That just means some reporter wanted to use the word architect, not that he is in fact the architect of that offense.

He's a master at special teams. He has been strength or special teams coach almost his whole career, so he will probably not make waves on the...

I thought Shotty was on record saying he was too old for the NFL game.

I said I don't necessarily want a genius. That is, I'm not worried about the Dolphins hiring somebody regarded as a genius. I want for once a...

I think that was the OP's point. Let's not emulate anything from the Cam era. Beyond hating that time in this franchise, it makes no sense to have...

I'm not saying it was a stupid decision (that was Cam). I'm saying that with benefit of hindsight, fans shouldn't be thinking just because it's a...

Johnson was not a good coach by the time he got here. Good GM, sure. Good coach, no. He was coasting. It would have actually been much better for...

There's a difference between having to work for Ireland and being a pushover. The best a Miami fan skeptical of Ireland can hope for is a coach...

I don't know a ton about Philbin other than that he's a non-play calling OC (which makes me nervous) and his son died. I sort of consider him a...

Uhhhhh, they're not putting a battle of crappy teams on at prime time due to the Fisher coaching thing that will be a distant memory even to us by...

Well, yeah. Ross is also not Snyder, and I wish people would remember that. I understand frustration at Ross, but he's not in the bottom third of...

Frankly, that's how it should be. We should know better post-Johnson and Saban to trust a big name.

My take on it is that Ireland is to the Dolphins what Vinny Ceratto was for the Redskins for a long while. I do think it pretty likely that this...

I read you. Roger.

Toub is our man. Just say no to Zimmer. Maybe Nick Saban wants another shot. :rolleyes: That's my take on this idea of hiring a college coach,...

I think it does. I'm saying there are better choices out there than Fisher. Now the question is whether ownership makes that right choice (Toub or...

Eh, I think this will be better for the Dolphins in the end, at least as long as the team hires the right coach. I think that's Dave Toub.

I'm actually thinking more along the lines of every team needs two QBs of decent quality in today's NFL. He could be one of those two, but say...

This team could do worse than Orton, but it would be nice to have the sights set a bit higher than that at this point.

I think that reads more Ireland would rather have a job and a boss than no job and no boss. :D

We hold a QB to account for the play of 11 people. Why can't be hold him to account for the play of 5?

Eh. I don't think it's a terrible hire nor do I think it's an inspired one. I'd call it a time will tell hire if true.

The Ireland factor keeps getting played up, and I am hopeful that means that this is either a courtesy interview or an interview that is as much...

Elite? No. Very good, sure. Maybe even excellent. If you're going to call him elite, you certainly can't call Ryan average. At this point, I'd say...

So you're saying he needed a Jake Long. :lol: This really ties the thread together!

We kept the Jets out of the playoffs. It meant something. :)

How long has it been since a coach who loses in the wild card round gets fired the next day? I don't see that as likely.

QBs taken high bust way more often than LTs taken high. Generally the LTs who bust are injury issues, not talent/motivation/focus ones. That's...

I don't think picking Long over Ryan led to this mediocrity, but I do think there is something to the idea that a front office that is afraid to...

Yeah, and I'd much rather Wannstedt than Cameron. What's your point? We have to be able to do better than that!

Dave Toub

I don't like this interview at all. Section is right -- he's idiotically overaggressive. I'm still on the Toub bandwagon at least among the...

I don't think it's too far a stretch to project that the Rams have more important priorities than QB because they have Bradford, but I do agree...

They have to contend with the Saints. We have to contend with the Pats. Seems like pretty much a wash to me.

Culpepper even if he came back the same would have still been Culpepper, the worst fumbling QB in the league since Tony Banks. I always wanted to...

But his shoulder was hurt and Culpepper only had a knee issue. :rolleyes:

The Falcons kind of suck at playoff time and have pretty much always except for that one Super Bowl year. I don't think you can hang all of those...
